Two Singapore-licensed payment firms are merging networks to create a fully regulated pipeline for digital asset transactions across APAC, pairing merchant payments with institutional custody.
Two of Singapore's licensed digital payment firms are joining forces. dtcpay announced a strategic partnership with BitGo Singapore on June 17, aimed at building out regulated infrastructure for digital asset payments across the Asia-Pacific region.
The collaboration pairs dtcpay's merchant payment network with BitGo's institutional-grade trading and settlement capabilities. Both companies hold Major Payment Institution licenses from the Monetary Authority of Singapore for Digital Payment Token services, placing the entire transaction pipeline from customer wallet to merchant settlement within a single regulated environment.
BitGo Singapore launched in November 2024, roughly three months after receiving its MPI license from MAS in August that year. The subsidiary offers institutional clients digital asset custody, trading, and automated settlement through its Go Network.
dtcpay, formally known as Digital Treasures Center Pte Ltd, has been licensed in Singapore since 2022, giving it a head start in the city-state's regulatory ecosystem. The company raised $10 million in Series A funding in March 2026, capital that appears to be fueling these strategic expansions.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. No specific tokens or digital assets were named as part of the initial rollout, suggesting the integration is infrastructure-first rather than product-specific.
dtcpay has been building toward this moment for a while. In October 2025, the company partnered with WalletConnect to advance stablecoin payment capabilities, signaling a clear strategic interest in bridging crypto wallets and everyday merchant transactions. The BitGo partnership takes that ambition and gives it institutional plumbing.
dtcpay's $10 million Series A gives it runway. BitGo's established infrastructure reduces the cold-start problem. The real test will be transaction volume and merchant adoption over the next 12 to 18 months.
