SEA Deal Ticker
The stablecoin issuer wanted the licences, not the code: Circle buys Singapore's Tazapay for $400M
An all-stock deal for a cross-border payments firm running local payout rails in more than 100 markets and clearing $25 billion a year, about 60 percent of it already in stablecoins.
Positive-sum angle: Anyone billing customers across a dozen markets from a Singapore entity gets a payout rail with a US-listed balance sheet behind it, once regulators clear the deal in 2027.
