Best Crypto Exchanges in Singapore

Crypto trading is Regulated in Singapore. There are currently 51 exchanges listed as available to users in Singapore. Always verify that an exchange is legally permitted to serve users in your jurisdiction before depositing funds; check with MAS for the latest licensing information.

Our list above shows the exchanges currently accepting users from Singapore. Availability can change if an exchange withdraws from a market or gains new regulatory approval, so always check the exchange's terms of service to confirm access for Singaporean residents before registering.

Exchanges regulated by MAS are typically required to hold client assets separately from company funds and implement robust AML and cybersecurity controls. However, unlike traditional bank deposits, crypto holdings are not usually covered by government compensation schemes. Use hardware wallets for long-term storage and only keep trading amounts on exchanges.

Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS) licenses crypto exchanges under the Payment Services Act as Digital Payment Token (DPT) service providers. MAS operates one of the world's most developed crypto licensing regimes, with stringent capital, custody, and conduct requirements. Only use exchanges that hold a valid MAS DPT licence when trading from Singapore.

Tax treatment of crypto gains varies significantly by jurisdiction. Most countries with established crypto frameworks, including the EU, UK, US, and Australia, treat crypto as a taxable asset subject to capital gains tax. Some jurisdictions such as the UAE apply no personal income or capital gains tax. Always consult a local tax adviser for guidance specific to your situation in Singapore.
