Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his concern about Singapore’s crypto regulations.
In these periods when the crypto bear market was intense, regulations and inspections were on the agenda. In particular, the collapse of the popular cryptocurrency exchange FTX has led companies that provide exchange services to the principle of transparency. The increased adoption of cryptocurrencies has also made the bad players of crypto hungry. In this process, the biggest mass that suffered was the investors. The pessimism created by the recent decline has increased the calls for regulations. Finally, Singapore wants to have a large share in the thriving ecosystem.
