MAS Stablecoin Rules: 100% Reserves and Yield Ban Proposed

The Monetary Authority of Singapore proposed on 1 September 2026 that stablecoin issuers maintain reserves equal to at least 100 percent of tokens in circulation.
The same proposal bars issuers from paying any interest or yield to holders.
Uncertainties ahead
The consultation period ends on 16 October 2026.
Final rule text and adoption timeline remain subject to the outcome of that process.
No assessment of effects on individual issuers or total circulation volumes has been released.
