Robinhood receives "in-principle approval" from Singapore to prepare for launching brokerage services

According to the Robinhood blog, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has granted Robinhood Singapore Pte. Ltd. a principle approval (IPA) to provide securities brokerage services, paving the way for its launch of comprehensive brokerage services in Singapore, including securities, exchange-traded derivatives, custody, financing, and collective investment products.

Singapore will serve as Robinhood's Asia-Pacific headquarters, complementing the MAS Major Payment Institution (MPI) license already held by its subsidiary Bitstamp Asia Pte. Ltd., strengthening its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. MAS emphasized that the IPA is not equivalent to a formal license, and Robinhood must still meet specific conditions, with the regulatory authority retaining the power to revoke the IPA.
