The revisions seek to\nrestore credibility in the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWA) and therefore also capital ratios by:\n• enhancing the robustness and risk sensitivity of the standardised approaches for credit risk and\noperational risk, which will help facilitate the comparability of banks' capital ratios;\n• constraining the use of internally modelled approaches, by placing limits on certain inputs used\nto calculate RWA under the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach for credit risk and by removing\nthe use of the modelled approach for operational risk;\n• finalising the leverage ratio, which now includes a buffer to further limit the leverage of global\nsystemically important banks (G-SIBs); and\n• replacing the existing Basel I-based floor with a robust aggregate 72.5% output floor based on\nthe Committee's revised standardised approaches.\nIn order to analyse the impact of the revised standards, the Committee conducted an ad hoc\nBasel III monitoring exercise with the data collection starting in April 2016, in addition to its regular Basel III\nmonitoring exercise2 and the data collection exercise from regulatory reporting systems. This report\nsummarises the aggregate cumulative quantitative impact study results using data jointly from all three\nexercises.

The revisions seek to\nrestore credibility in the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWA) and therefore also capital ratios by:\n• enhancing the robustness and risk sensitivity of the standardised approaches for credit risk and\noperational risk, which will help facilitate the comparability of banks' capital ratios;\n• constraining the use of internally modelled approaches, by placing limits on certain inputs used\nto calculate RWA under the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach for credit risk and by removing\nthe use of the modelled approach for operational risk;\n• finalising the leverage ratio, which now includes a buffer to further limit the leverage of global\nsystemically important banks (G-SIBs); and\n• replacing the existing Basel I-based floor with a robust aggregate 72.5% output floor based on\nthe Committee's revised standardised approaches.\nIn order to analyse the impact of the revised standards, the Committee conducted an ad hoc\nBasel III monitoring exercise with the data collection starting in April 2016, in addition to its regular Basel III\nmonitoring exercise2 and the data collection exercise from regulatory reporting systems.

The revisions seek to\nrestore credibility in the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWA) and therefore also capital ratios by:\n• enhancing the robustness and risk sensitivity of the standardised approaches for credit risk and\noperational risk, which will help facilitate the comparability of banks' capital ratios;\n• constraining the use of internally modelled approaches, by placing limits on certain inputs used\nto calculate RWA under the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach for credit risk and by removing\nthe use of the modelled approach for operational risk;\n• finalising the leverage ratio, which now includes a buffer to further limit the leverage of global\nsystemically important banks (G-SIBs); and\n• replacing the existing Basel I-based floor with a robust aggregate 72.5% output floor based on\nthe Committee's revised standardised approaches.\nIn order to analyse the impact of the revised standards, the Committee conducted an ad hoc\nBasel III monitoring exercise with the data collection starting in April 2016, in addition to its regular Basel III\nmonitoring exercise2 and the data collection exercise from regulatory reporting systems.

MAS seeks comments on the regulatory scope, particularly on whether the focus on SCS\nis adequate and whether there may be reasons for MAS to extend its regulatory powers\nto SCS issued outside of Singapore. Binance has provided comments to specific questions. More generally, we would observe:\n(a) that MAS may wish to provide recognition for foreign SCS operating in SG that meet\nequivalent regulatory standards in their home jurisdiction. For example, SCS issued under\nEU MiCA regulation, or SCS issued using currencies referred to in paragraph 4.14 of the\nCP. (b) that extending regulatory powers of for example, supervision and enforcement to SCS\nissued outside SG, that operate inside or outside of SG, may be better achieved through\nexisting regulatory cooperation agreements within the financial services sector, including\nthose being developed at the global level by the Financial Stability Board."}], "rationale": "The EU MiCA passages (c51ad46265cea4e5::147::6214, c51ad46265cea4e5::340::9399) describe the requirements for obtaining authorisation as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) and the establishment of a public register. The Singapore foundational legislation passages (7c04f2a0bd85290a::413::fc6a) discuss MAS's regulatory approach to Security Token Offerings (STOs) and the potential for recognizing foreign SCS (Security Token Offerings) that meet equivalent standards, specifically mentioning SCS issued under EU MiCA regulation. The regimes regulate distinct aspects of the crypto-asset ecosystem: MiCA focuses on the licensing and registration of service providers, while the Singapore text focuses on the regulatory treatment of specific token offerings and cross-border enforcement. There is no evidence of a direct obligation in MiCA that conflicts with a specific obligation in the Singapore foundational legislation."} +{"annotator_id": 10116, "annotated_at": "2026-05-25T22:55:36Z", "revision": 1, "review_status": "single_annotation", "confidence": 0.9, "record_type": "non_conflict", "pair_id": "non_conflict:5d99d3258595c718ae2134c4", "label": "non_conflict", "regime_a": {"regime_id": "EU_EMD2", "jurisdiction": "EU", "issuing_body": "EUR-Lex", "short_name": "EMD2"}, "regime_b": {"regime_id": "EU_MIFID2", "jurisdiction": "EU", "issuing_body": "EUR-Lex", "short_name": "MiFID II"}, "non_conflict_subtype": "different_domains", "evidence_a": [{"chunk_id": "6bbad50f6b09cc9d::27e::94d4", "source_doc": "EMD2_Directive_EU_2009-110.pdf", "page": 6, "passage": "Article 4\ntution to hold an amount of own funds which is up to 20 %\nInitial capital higher than the amount which would result from the appli\ncation of the relevant method in accordance with paragraph\nMember States shall require electronic money institutions to\n2, or permit the electronic money institution to hold an\nhold, at the time of authorisation, initial capital, comprised of\namount of own funds which is up to 20 % lower than the\nthe items set out in Article 57(a) and (b) of Directive\namount which would result from the application of the\n2006/48/EC, of not less than EUR 350 000.\nrelevant method in accordance with paragraph 2."}, {"chunk_id": "6bbad50f6b09cc9d::5c6::4d5d", "source_doc": "EMD2_Directive_EU_2009-110.pdf", "page": 10, "passage": "Article 20\nprohibited from issuing electronic money.

Increased mainstream interest\nOver the past decade, there has been increased mainstream interest from both financial markets and\nconsumers in the crypto ecosystem. Over 1 million Australians are expected to include crypto assets\non their tax returns in FY 2022. This trend has created emerging risks and opportunities. According to Chainalysis' crypto adoption index, Australia ranks 40th globally for crypto adoption, with\nretail transactions at centralised exchanges also ranking 40th globally when measured by purchasing\npower parity per capita (see Figure 1).1\nFigure 1: Global crypto adoption index\nSource: Chainalysis September 2022\nFrom global market capitalisation highs of US$3.0 trillion (AU$4.1 trillion) in November 2021, crypto\nasset markets have lost around 63 per cent of their value and are now valued at US$1.0 trillion\n(AU$1.5 trillion).2 The turbulence in crypto asset markets over the past year highlights some of the\nrisks."}], "evidence_b": [{"chunk_id": "85240528438654b9::1cd::07d7", "source_doc": "Updated-Guidance-VA-VASP.pdf.coredownload.inline.pdf", "page": 24, "passage": "45.
