Nature of crypto funds

Do I need a licence to set up a crypto fund in Singapore? What type of licence?


Yes.

"Corporations with fund management as their principal business activity in Singapore have to be either (1) registered fund management companies (RFMCs) or (2) licensed fund management companies (LFMCs) which hold a capital markets services licence for fund management. RFMCs and LFMCs are regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore (SFA)."
