Malaysia is preparing for major reforms in cryptocurrency exchange regulations
#Malaysia is planning significant updates to the regulations governing cryptocurrency exchanges to expedite the token listing process and enhance investor protection. The Securities Commission of Malaysia has just announced a proposal document outlining several important changes for domestic digital asset exchanges.
Focus of the changes: Token listing and investor protection
According to the new proposals, certain tokens may be listed without prior approval if they meet clear criteria regarding market capitalization, liquidity, reliability, and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. This promises to simplify and expedite the process of listing new digital assets.
In addition, regulations will also be stricter for exchanges. Specifically, exchanges will need to completely separate customer funds from the company's operational assets and maintain a higher level of reserve capital. These measures aim to enhance safety and transparency, protecting investors' assets against operational risks or the bankruptcy of the exchange. #anhbacong

Malaysia Alarmed: Electricity Theft for Mining Increases by 300%, Homeowners Shocked by 6 Billion Bill!
The situation of illegal cryptocurrency mining in Malaysia is spiraling out of control, as Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) – the largest national power company in the country – reported a nearly 300% increase in electricity theft cases from 2018 to 2024.
From 610 cases in 2018, the number of electricity theft cases for cryptocurrency mining has increased to 2,397 cases in 2024, causing hundreds of millions of USD in damages and putting the national power grid in a state of overload.

Malaysia’s crypto mining market is projected to grow 110.2% in 2025 — from $2.44B to $5.13B, according to a report by the Access Blockchain Association of Malaysia. But this growth is threatened by rampant illegal mining, energy theft, and unclear policies.
⚫️ Illegal Mining Is Draining Billions
⚫️ National energy provider TNB lost $104M to electricity theft from 2020–2024
⚫️ Past losses from 2018–2021 hit $542M, mostly due to unlicensed Bitcoin miners
⚫️ The report says formalizing this activity could turn stolen power into taxable revenue
⚫️ Legal Miners Hide in the Shadows
⚫️ Many medium-to-large legal mining firms exist, but avoid publicity due to fear of cyberattacks and regulatory changes
⚫️ Firms like Hatten Land are building regulated infrastructure with partners like Hydra X
⚫️ Malaysia has the tech edge: strong internet + hydropower access
⚫️ Big Potential, But No Clear Mining Rules
⚫️ Malaysia ranks 7th–8th globally in Bitcoin hashrate (2.5–3% share)
⚫️ But the Securities Commission has no mining-specific rules, only exchange regulations
⚫️ Lack of clarity is stalling large-scale legal adoption
⚫️ What Needs to Be Done
✅ Introduce crypto mining licenses
✅ Roll out green tariff incentives
✅ Close legal loopholes in electricity theft
✅ Develop Shariah-compliant mining models
⚫️ Final Word
Malaysia has the chance to become a crypto mining hub in Asia — but only if it moves fast to regulate, legitimize, and support the sector.

Impact of Malaysia's New Social Media Law on Cryptocurrencies, Investors, and the Economy
The implementation of the new Social Media Regulation Law in Malaysia, which requires platforms with more than 8 million users to obtain licenses, not only affects tech giants like Google, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter), but also has significant repercussions for the cryptocurrency market, investors, and the global economy. Below are key data points:
Cryptocurrencies Under Regulatory Radar:
The growing global regulation of technological platforms could extend to the cryptocurrency market. If governments require similar licenses for cryptocurrency exchange platforms, costs and bureaucracy could increase, restricting accessibility for retail investors and affecting the decentralization that characterizes the sector.
