About This Programme
Stablecoins stand to rank as one of the key contenders for digital money, if well regulated, with potential for innovative use cases such as purpose-bound money applications. Other than regulation by way of the MAS Stablecoins Regulatory Framework, which has been cited in Singapore Court judgment, the development of case law provides growing clarity on the legal status of stablecoins.
How the law characterises stablecoins has implications on the legal remedies available to parties holding it as assets or liabilities. Through a study of recent landmark Singapore cases, gain a practical understanding of the impact on your rights as owner of or creditor owing stablecoins.
This e-learning course is eligible for IBF funding under FTS scheme.
