APIX has garnered a lot of attention since its launch in 2018. The platform aims at providing a global, cross-border, open platform. It designed to match the level of Fintech and other financial companies operating in the Asia-Pacific region.
The reason Fintech is popular in Singapore and is growing is the tolerant regulatory environment and continuously advancing technology of the country. As for public trust and social acceptance, the increase in the use of AI technology in the financial field has become a challenge.
To solve this issue, the Monetary Authority of Singapore introduced a set of principles to allow fairness, ethics, and transparency in the use of AI in financial sectors, particularly when it comes to cryptocurrency.
