Bitstamp by Robinhood has received its Major Payment Institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
The MAS license authorises Bitstamp to offer regulated digital payment token services in Singapore.
The firm previously shared plans to launch its offerings in the city-state by late 2025.
Robinhood completed the acquisition of Luxembourg-based Bitstamp for US$200 million in June 2025, aiming to strengthen its institutional crypto business and expand into Singapore.
Founded in 2011, Bitstamp holds regulatory approvals under MiCA in the European Union, as well as licences in the United States and United Kingdom.
The platform is designed for institutional-grade use, offering fast fiat on- and off-ramps, access to global liquidity, low-latency APIs, secure custody, and a matching engine powered by Nasdaq technology. It also holds ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications.
Bitstamp’s Asia-Pacific operations will be based in Singapore, with a local team focused on market development, compliance, and regional partnerships.
