Ripple Secures Expanded Singapore License, Enabling Broader Regulated Payment Services

  • Ripple Labs has officially secured approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to expand the scope of payment activities under its Major Payment Institution license.
  • This allows the company to offer a wider range of regulated crypto-enabled payment services.
  • President Monica Long said the move reinforces Ripple’s regulation-first strategy and highlights Singapore’s role as a global leader in digital asset clarity.

Ripple has received approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to widen the activities covered by its Major Payment Institution license, allowing it to scale its regulated cross-border payments business from Singapore.

The approval applies to Ripple Markets APAC Pte. Ltd. and lets the company use token-based settlement, including XRP, its stablecoin RLUSD and other digital payment tokens, in services offered to banks, fintechs and crypto firms in the country. Ripple is among a small group of blockchain-focused companies holding an MPI license.

Expanded Scope For Ripple

Ripple can provide a broader set of regulated payout, settlement and on/off-ramp services using its tokens while letting institutional clients tap those rails without holding the assets directly or building their own infrastructure. 

Its Payments product links digital asset settlement to a global payout network so customers can route funds, convert into tokens and settle through a single integration.

Asia-Pacific is Ripple’s fastest-growing region, with on-chain activity up about 70% year over year, and Singapore has been its APAC base since 2017. Ripple said the new permissions will support further investment in Singapore and help it serve more regional financial institutions looking for regulated token-based settlement options.

MAS has set a leading standard for regulatory clarity in digital assets, and we deeply value Singapore’s forward-thinking approach. Ripple has always taken a regulation-first approach and Singapore is proof that innovation thrives when rules are clear. This expanded license strengthens our ability to continue investing in Singapore and to build the infrastructure financial institutions need to move money efficiently, quickly, and safely.

Monica Long, Ripple President.

‘Alien Earth’ Composer Jeff Russo Dives Into Score For FX Series

The post ‘Alien Earth’ Composer Jeff Russo Dives Into Score For FX Series appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FX’s Alien: Earth — Pictured: Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh. Courtesy of Patrick Brown/FX The following contains certain spoilers for Alien: Earth! When it came time to marry picture and music for FX’s Alien: Earth, series creator Noah Hawley did what he’s done for close to 20 years: call up Jeff Russo. “[He] said, ‘I’m adapting the Alien IP, for television. What do you think, musically?’” Russo recalls over Zoom. “We started talking and I began writing music for it. It seemed like…not a foregone conclusion, but a conversation that was being had.” A founder of Tonic and a previous member of Low Stars, the composer has scored all of Hawley’s film and television projects since The Unusuals (2009). “Everything I’ve learned about making music for storytelling, I learned by doing with him,” Russo adds. “He really knows what he wants. And when you have a confident filmmaker that is also open to artistic collaboration, it’s the best of all the worlds.” The first small screen translation of the nearly 50-year-old franchise known for straddling horror, sci-fi, and action genres, Alien: Earth takes place two years before the events of the 1979 original and nearly six decades before Aliens. “We talk a lot about trying to figure out what the underlying property is making our audience feel,” Russo explains. “Trying to create a unique narrative and way of telling the story, but at the same time, making the audience feel that same feeling. In this case, there’s that feeling of dread. There’s that tense, eerie feeling created with such a deft hand in Alien. And then [came Aliens, which was] such a great action piece. So how are we going to take those two ideas and sort of mix them together, have that be something unique and different, while eliciting the…
