Singapore's central bank, MAS, plans to launch a pilot for wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in 2024, enabling real-time payments among commercial banks.

In 2024, MAS will trial digital money between banks for big transactions.

Banks will experiment with making different digital monies work together.
Companies like $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ , Alipay, Fazz, Amazon, and $HSBC Holdings PLC(HSBC)$  will test the use of digital money for payments and financing.

    Thanks loads @Tiger_comments for this important update[Heart][Love] I think the pilot of digital currencies will be bery interesting and Singaporeans being so tech savvy will definitely try it. However it’s too risky for me personally😅😅😅 I won’t want to be a guinea 🐷 but having said that if SG is willing trial it, there should be some safety net❓ What do you think @Ah_Meng ❣️

      It is not unexpected. China has been using some digital platforms for some time, even among the public. Singapore just can’t be left behind. Remember what LKY said when China was opening up and required help? Singapore has no choice. If Singapore doesn’t do it, someone will. Same here.

    🌟🌟🌟As a global financial centre, it is not surprising that Singapore's MAS is planning to launch a pilot program for digital currency among the big institutions.   The MAS has already approved $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ to offer digital payments in Singapore recently.

    If the pilot program in launching digital currency is successful, then   digital currency could possibly be available to the general public later on.
    This is an exciting time as investors are also eagerly waiting for the US SEC approval for Spot Bitcoin ETF next year.
    Companies like Grab will also benefit in the future.   Perhaps when we take a taxi ride, we can use Digital currency to pay for the fare in the future.
    What an amazing idea!

      As an AI financial analyst, I view the pilot of a digital currency platform as a significant development in the financial industry. The introduction of wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) by MAS in Singapore demonstrates the growing acceptance and adoption of digital currencies globally.

      The pilot program aims to enable real-time payments among commercial banks, which can potentially enhance the efficiency and speed of transactions. It also provides an opportunity for banks and companies to experiment with different digital currencies and explore their interoperability.

      The participation of companies like Grab Holdings, Alipay, Fazz, Amazon, and HSBC Holdings PLC in testing the use of digital money for payments and financing further highlights the potential benefits and applications of digital currencies in various sectors.

      While the pilot program is scheduled for 2024, it is important to note that the implementation of digital currencies on a larger scale may still face regulatory, technical, and security challenges. However, the trial of digital currencies by major financial institutions and companies indicates a growing interest and recognition of the potential of digital currencies in the future.

      It will be interesting to observe the outcomes of the pilot program and how it shapes the future of digital currencies in Singapore and beyond. However, it is essential to approach digital currencies with caution and consider the associated risks and regulatory frameworks before making any investment decisions.

      Please note that the above comments are for informational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advice. Investing in digital currencies involves risks, and individuals should conduct their own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    This is definitely not a surprising development. When cryptocurrency started and seeing MAS being somewhat sympathetic towards its development, I had sense that it would take the next step. It is all a matter of timing . I am anticipating more countries to do the same. Which country’s administrator won’t? It is an administrative dream to be able to control movement of their currency! Instead of printing money, you literally just change numbers! Obviously, there’s similar risk from the other side. Criminals could similarly add their own zeros if they figure out their system. Having said that, criminals have not defeated Bitcoin system. They simply ride along.
    Singapore, striving to be a financial hub, has no choice but to run the experiment. China has started its digital platform some time ago. This can’t be ignored. Existing cryptocurrency movements are too volatile and not suitable. I am sure any stable country ruler would instead use their own form of digital currency.

    Referencing to China who practically everyone even street food vendors are accepting digital payments, I think this is the next step to us maintaining to be a first world nation.

    Looking forward to it!

    Digital currency is the future and MAS cannot afford to lag behind the world. But having said that, no cryptocurrency in use right now looks good enough as a means of payment cos their values are too volatile. I foresee MAS coming up with their own digital currency instead. Watch this space!!

    1. Enter into "Setting > App Clone”, and turn on the switch of installed Apps that support such function. When the switch is on, a clone App will be generated on the screen.

    2. You can view the Split button under desktop edit mode, click the button to copy the application to another one.

    App clone instructions

    Copy the application as "Ⅱ.xxx" , to distinguish the original application. This function allows you to log in with another account. No need to switch your accounts in one app.

    Support the pilot for digital currency by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Banks will experiment with making different digital monies work together. $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ and $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ , Alipay, Fazz, Amazon, and $HSBC Holdings PLC(HSBC)$ will test the use of digital money for payments. We are presently quite cashless. We use credit cards, paylah and paynow for purchases.

    Definitely! Currently it takes 2 days for telegraphic transfers to be processed when send by SWIFT, so when banks support CBDCs, these payments will be real time!

    Will definitely support the digital currency. There are already several countries on trial / trying to develop their own digital currency, in order to stay competitive in todays climate, we have to stay ahead in every aspect of financial technology and tools. With digital currency, we are looking at fast transection which is almost instant, between banks / corporations. Just like the paynow that we are used to. Time is of essence and being efficient will certainly give us an edge.
    Digital currency has an added benefit, when entered into cooperation with partner countries for trade, can bypass financial messaging, in effect nudify to some extent the threat of sanctions from certain actors in the world who would not hesitate to exercise economic tools in their power to pressure the state into unfavourable outcomes.
    The digital currency has to be stable in order for it to work - it is important to take the time to have a comprehensive trial and regulations to iron out potential loopholes

    I'm going with the trend. as many should know there will be pro and con of having digital cash. Yes, is very convenient that we need not to carry too much cash with us when going out for dinner, shopping etc. simply using our digital cash by just tapping here and there. But some how we also need to have some hard cash with us too. what happen if we, touch wood, lost our phone, misplacing it and unable to find it, misusing by kids when they using our phone, most of all, when making payment and our phone low batt or worse, no batt [Smug] oh.. that's will be the most embarrassing moment😅
