PANews, November 17 news, the Securities Commission of Malaysia (SC) proposed that starting in 2026, licensed crypto asset exchanges will be able to independently approve token listings without needing to obtain approval from the regulatory authority for each individual case. This move aims to modernize Malaysia's digital asset market, expand investor access, and provide exchanges with greater operational flexibility. According to the new framework, the exchange is required to assess the compliance of tokens and adhere to higher governance, security, and transparency requirements to ensure investor protection. This reform is expected to shorten the listing time for tokens, increase the variety of assets available to investors, and promote Malaysia as a digital asset hub in Southeast Asia.
