Malaysia Proposes Streamlined Crypto Asset Listing Framework to Boost Market Efficiency

Malaysia’s Securities Commission has proposed a new regulatory framework to simplify the process of listing cryptocurrencies on local exchanges. Under the proposal, Digital Asset Exchange operators would be allowed to list certain tokens without prior regulatory approval, provided the assets meet predefined eligibility criteria—such as being traded for at least a year on a FATF-compliant platform, passing security audits, and demonstrating technical strength, project viability, and team credibility. The move is intended to speed up time-to-market, promote innovation, and strengthen Malaysia’s position as a regional crypto hub. At the same time, the regulator plans to introduce stricter governance standards, including client asset segregation, enhanced cybersecurity, minimum financial thresholds, offline custody, and robust internal risk controls to ensure investor protection. Public consultation on the proposals is open until August 11, 2025.
