Malaysia SC Proposes Faster Crypto Listings With New Safeguards
SC Malaysia proposes allowing crypto listings without prior regulatory approval.
Exchanges must enforce stricter governance and segregate client assets under new rules.
Public consultation on the proposed crypto reforms runs from June 30 to August 11, 2025.
The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC Malaysia) has proposed changes that would modify the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency exchanges. The plan permits exchanges to list digital assets without prior approval from the regulator, provided the assets meet minimum qualification standards. The public consultation period for these proposed changes runs from June 30 to August 11, 2025.
The proposed changes aim to enhance market efficiency, increase operator accountability, and expand the range of digital asset offerings. Although they simplify listing procedures, the reforms will introduce stricter governance measures, including the segregation of client assets and better internal controls for exchanges.
