What Bitget is and the Singapore position
Bitget is a cryptocurrency exchange that offers spot trading, derivatives, and copy trading to customers in many countries. It also publishes a separate non custodial product known as the Bitget Wallet, in which the user holds their own keys.
Singapore regulates digital payment token services under the Payment Services Act. The Monetary Authority of Singapore, the country regulator, licenses firms that provide those services in or from Singapore, and maintains a public list of licensed providers. As of June 2026 Bitget is not on that list of licensed digital payment token service providers.
Singapore also introduced the Digital Token Service Provider regime, effective from 30 June 2025, which requires Singapore based firms that serve clients outside Singapore to be licensed, with the Monetary Authority of Singapore indicating it would generally not grant such licences except in limited cases. Because Bitget is not licensed for digital payment token services, this site does not link to it for Singapore (as of June 2026).
Why Bitget is not a licensed service in Singapore
- No Payment Services Act licence. As of June 2026 Bitget is not licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore under the Payment Services Act to provide digital payment token services, which Singapore requires for firms providing those services in or from Singapore.
- Digital Token Service Provider regime. The Digital Token Service Provider regime, effective from 30 June 2025, requires Singapore based firms serving clients outside Singapore to be licensed, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore has stated it would generally not issue such licences except in limited cases (as of June 2026).
- Card partnerships are separate. A Bitget branded payment card has been offered through a separately licensed Singapore payment service provider. That arrangement does not make the Bitget exchange a licensed digital payment token service provider in Singapore (as of June 2026).
- Risk emphasis. The Monetary Authority of Singapore emphasises that crypto trading carries high risk and is not suitable for the general public, and it restricts the marketing of digital payment token services to the public (as of June 2026).
- Bitget Wallet is separate. The Bitget Wallet is a separate non custodial product in which the user holds their own keys. It is distinct from the centralized exchange and should be considered on its own terms (as of June 2026).
What this means for Singapore residents
Because Bitget is not licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore for digital payment token services, this site does not link to it for Singapore. Buying and holding crypto is legal in Singapore, but the framework expects residents to use a licensed provider, and an unlicensed provider does not carry the protections that licensing is designed to provide.
Singapore residents who want a licensed platform can use a provider on the Monetary Authority of Singapore list of licensed digital payment token service providers. The alternatives below are resources on platforms licensed to serve Singapore residents as of June 2026.
How crypto is taxed in Singapore is administered by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore. Singapore does not levy a general capital gains tax, while trading as a business or receiving crypto as income can be taxable. See the Singapore crypto tax page for a general explanation. This is general information and not tax advice, so verify your position with a qualified professional before filing.
