Due to heightened compliance requirements set by Singaporean regulations, 29 cryptocurrencies have been delisted on Liquid
In compliance with cryptocurrency regulations in Singapore, a major Japanese cryptocurrency exchange, Liquid, has delisted 29 cryptocurrencies, including ZCash, Neo, Stellar (XLM). Singapore has been strengthening cryptocurrency regulation according to the standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
Singapore has been working on implementing stricter rules on crypto exchanges to comply with the FATF standards. The Monetary Authority of Singapore issued a consultation paper on July 21 describing enhanced standards of the AML / CFT requirements for virtual asset service providers (VASPs).
