What happened

Bank Negara Malaysia and the Bank of Thailand joined Singapore's BLOOM initiative on Friday as policymaker members.

BLOOM is a public-private initiative that intends to help financial institutions use stablecoins and tokenized deposits for cross-border payments.

Participating institutions will concentrate on cross-border acceptance and settlement, interoperability between digital money networks, and programmable transaction controls.

MAS's release does not name a stablecoin, a tokenized deposit product, a payment corridor or a start date. MAS's release describes nothing under BLOOM as live.
