Authorities in Singapore are considering imposing caning as a punishment for crypto fraud in an attempt to deter financial crimes. The government is concerned about the increasing use of digital assets in cryptocurrency scams, which accounted for a quarter of fraud-related losses last year.

Caning is a form of corporal punishment currently enforced in Singapore for various offenses.
