February 27, 2025 <\/strong>\u2013 DigiFT, a leading regulatory-compliant exchange for on-chain real-world assets (RWAs), has successfully obtained a custodial license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under its Capital Markets Services (CMS) license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DigiFT was previously granted a CMS license for dealing in capital market products and recognized as a Recognized Market Operator (RMO) by MAS in 2023<\/a>. With this latest authorization, DigiFT strengthens its position as a fully integrated digital asset marketplace, unlocking operational efficiencies for tokenized asset issuers and investors while reinforcing security and compliance in the growing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancing Security, Efficiency, and Institutional Trust<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

With this expanded regulatory scope, DigiFT can now provide custodial solutions for capital market products under its own regulatory framework, giving issuers greater flexibility in structuring custody arrangements while ensuring a secure and seamless experience for investors. This development enhances the security and trustworthiness of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) while complementing DigiFT\u2019s existing digital payment token custody partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Highlights<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Operational Efficiency<\/strong>: This authorization allows DigiFT to streamline asset issuance, settlement, and custody, creating a seamless end-to-end experience for tokenized assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Greater Value for Investors & Issuers<\/strong>: The shift to in-house custody lays the foundation for future efficiencies, reducing time-to-market for institutional-grade digital assets and enhancing the overall economic model for issuers and investors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Strengthening Institutional & Regulatory Trust<\/strong>: MAS approval reinforces DigiFT\u2019s commitment to compliant, regulated digital asset markets, providing institutions with a secure and trusted gateway to tokenized RWAs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        “Obtaining the custodial license under our CMS framework is a key step in DigiFT\u2019s mission to build a robust and fully compliant digital asset ecosystem,” said Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO at DigiFT. “By integrating custody services into our existing regulated framework, we are enhancing both security and efficiency for issuers and investors while paving the way for broader institutional adoption of tokenized assets.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
