According to CoinDesk, Gracie Lin, the newly appointed CEO of OKX Singapore, stated that gaining the trust of a custodian bank was the most crucial and challenging aspect of obtaining the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Major Payment Institution (MPI) license.

Lin explained that banks need to be satisfied with the exchange's plans and control measures, making this step crucial for securing a full license. Lin also highlighted that Singaporean investors tend to hold crypto assets rather than actively trading them. Currently, OKX offers over 50 tokens in Singapore, all of which have undergone scrutiny and approval from the MAS.
