As a keen observer of the financial landscape, I'm curious to know about the regulatory framework surrounding cryptocurrencies in Singapore. Given the city-state's reputation as a hub for financial technology, does Singapore have specific regulations governing the issuance, trading, and use of cryptocurrencies? Are there specific agencies overseeing this industry, and if so, what are their primary responsibilities? I'm also interested in knowing if Singapore has implemented any consumer protection measures to safeguard investors in the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, how does Singapore balance the need for innovation in the fintech sector with ensuring regulatory compliance and stability in the financial system?

Cryptocurrency-related business activities in Singapore are largely unregulated, provided they do not exhibit the characteristics of regulated financial products.
