StraitsX is pleased to announce a collaboration with Ant International and Grab to look into the potential for Purpose Bound Money (PBM) to be applied to cross border payments. PBM is a protocol that specifies the conditions upon which an underlying digital currency can be used and first introduced by MAS as part of Project Orchid.

The in-principle approval from MAS as a Major Payment Institution licence holder for digital payment token services allows StraitsX to issue stablecoins that are intended to be substantively compliant with MAS’ upcoming stablecoin regulatory framework.

Keep a lookout for various demonstrations of Purpose Bound Money (PBM) happening across different booths at Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2023, held from 15-17 November 2023 at Singapore Expo. PBM is a concept first introduced by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as part of Project Orchid, which enables special conditions to be specified when making transfers in digital money.
