Malaysia plans to allow exchanges to independently list tokens starting in 2026
ChainCatcher reported that the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has proposed that, starting from 2026, licensed cryptocurrency exchanges will be able to independently approve token listings without requiring individual approval from the regulator. This move aims to modernize Malaysia's digital asset market, expand investor access, and grant exchanges greater operational flexibility.
Under the new framework, exchanges will be responsible for assessing the compliance of tokens and must adhere to higher standards of governance, security, and transparency to ensure investor protection. This reform is expected to shorten the time required for token listings, increase the variety of assets available to investors, and promote Malaysia as a digital asset hub in Southeast Asia.
