According to Bloomberg, bitcoin ATM operators in Singapore\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> were compelled to shut down their operations on Tuesday to comply with new restrictions imposed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country's central bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city's cryptocurrency operators have reacted to the new ban on cryptocurrency ATMs, with Daenerys & Co expressing surprise and discontinuing its ATM operation on Tuesday evening. Deodi, its primary competitor, shut down its ATM network and dispatched employees to remove its cryptocurrency ATMs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The action is part of a larger push by Singapore's watchdog to restrict cryptocurrency advertising to the general public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The central bank issued fresh instructions on Monday prohibiting crypto companies from advertising their services in public places, on websites, or on social media.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore's anti-crypto stance, on the other hand, comes as a shock. Singapore was dubbed the most crypto-friendly country in the world by Coincub, a fintech firm located in the city-state, in December, thanks to the city's “excellent legislative climate” and “high rate of cryptocurrency acceptance.” The legislative atmosphere in the city-state, on the other hand, appears to be murkier right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto adverts restriction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similar advertising restrictions were established in Spain and the United Kingdom <\/a>shortly before the Singaporean crackdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish government<\/a> announced on Monday that crypto enterprises must submit ad campaigns for regulatory permission 10 days ahead of time, while the United Kingdom initiated a review of cryptocurrency advertising standards, threatening to tighten down on items that make false claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
