MAS noted that this time frame would be similar to existing money transmission requirements for domestic money transfer services.
that it would consider three business days as a timely transfer for SCS despite some feedback calling for a shorter time frame.According to MAS, while SCS transfers may be expected to be completed more quickly because they are done on a blockchain, transfers of MAS-regulated stablecoins may “occur on various types of blockchain infrastructure that may have different service standards.
“MAS will retain the proposed timeline of three business days. This would mirror the existing money transmission requirement for domestic money transfer services.” Apart from stablecoin transfers, MAS also indicated that SCS redemptions need longer. According to the document, redeeming stablecoins back to fiat will be given five business days. This response from MAS came despite some respondents arguing that redemptions must be done “within a shorter time frame, or even on a real-time basis.“According to MAS, it will proceed with the requirement that issuers return the value of MAS-regulated SCS to holders within five business days.
“The redemption timeline is intended to strike a balance between responsiveness to users’ requests and ensuring there is enough time for the SCS issuer to do so in an orderly manner under various stress situations.”
