QCP Receives Major Payment Institution License in Singapore for Crypto OTC Services

QCP Trading has received a Major Payment Institution license in Singapore, authorizing the firm to provide over-the-counter spot cryptocurrency trading services to institutional clients under regulatory oversight, the firm announced in a statement on Monday.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) granted the license to QCP Trading Pte. Ltd., the OTC trading division of QCP Group, following an in-principle approval announced in November 2024. The license covers spot trading of digital payment tokens, Singapore's regulatory term for cryptocurrencies.

The approval positions QCP Trading to serve institutional demand for regulated crypto services in Singapore. The platform offers multiple currency on/off-ramp services, voice trading capabilities, API connectivity, and same-day settlement through local banking partnerships.

QCP Group founder Darius Sit said the license reflects the company's "unwavering commitment to regulatory integrity" and enables deeper integration with Singapore's financial ecosystem. CEO Melvin Deng highlighted Singapore's "forward-thinking digital asset regulation" as positioning the firm to meet institutional demand.

The licensing comes as QCP Group expands its Singapore operations, increasing headcount by 40% year-over-year with new hires across compliance, operations, and client services. The company, established in 2017, operates specialized entities for derivatives, spot trading, and structured products serving institutional and accredited investors.

QCP Group maintains its headquarters in Singapore with additional operations in Abu Dhabi.

DOGE ETF News & Could Layer Brett See an ETF Approval in Years to come?

DOGE ETF News & Could Layer Brett See an ETF Approval in Years to come?

The post DOGE ETF News & Could Layer Brett See an ETF Approval in Years to come? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 20 September 2025 | 01:10 The latest Dogecoin updates have traders buzzing as DOGE continues to hold its ground above key support levels. With rumors swirling about the possibility of a DOGE ETF in the future, excitement is building around what could be a major milestone for the original meme coin.

Built on Ethereum Layer 2, $LBRETT combines viral meme energy with real blockchain utility, offering lightning-fast transactions and low fees. While an ETF for $LBRETT is still a distant conversation, analysts believe its growing community, capped 10B supply, and staking mechanics make it a strong candidate for mainstream adoption in the coming years.
