Singapore Requires Banks to Hold $125 for Every $100 Cryptpcurrecy Exposure

When it comes to risky assets like crypto, Singapore banks are no longer required to hold 1:1 in collateral, but rather 1.25:1. What this means is that for every $1 in cryptocurrency, a financial institution needs to hold $1.25 in regular cash. This is designed to ensure there are enough reserves in place to cover losses or other problems should the crypto industry decide to crash and burn all over again.
