Piloting our technology with Grab’s customers brings us closer to realizing the full potential of responsible digital assets innovation.
Similarly, Dante Disparte, Head of Global Policy of Circle, lauded the collaboration, noting that it is a way to accelerate the adoption of blockchain-powered innovation for Singaporeans.
It is worth mentioning that Circle recently secured a Major Payment Institution License from the Singaporean Monetary Authority. It claimed its presence in the region has continued to gain momentum since then.
