Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced plans to integrate cryptocurrency and blockchain into the national agenda after a recent trip to Abu Dhabi.

Malaysia's Strive for Global Competitiveness

During his three-day visit to Abu Dhabi, where Ibrahim met with Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao and UAE government officials, the Prime Minister highlighted Malaysia’s need to adapt to changes in the crypto industry. Modern policies on digital assets and blockchain technology are essential for global competitiveness. Ibrahim has tasked key governmental agencies, including the Treasury, Securities Commission, and Bank Negara Malaysia, to explore adaptation to global changes. He is also preparing a policy paper on crypto and blockchain, which he will present to the Malaysian cabinet.

Creation of a Crypto Advisory Council

Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy and Bitcoin advocate, has expressed his readiness to engage with the new U.S. political era. Saylor mentioned that he is ready to participate should Donald Trump establish a crypto advisory council. Such a council is expected to help shape future crypto policies. Recall that Trump has appointed pro-crypto executives for significant positions in his administration, potentially positively impacting crypto regulation in the U.S.

Countries Becoming Crypto Hubs

In 2024, Dubai emerged as the top destination for crypto businesses, scoring 79 points. The city's success is attributed to regulatory clarity and no capital gains tax. Switzerland ranked second with 75 points, while South Korea rounded out the top three with 73.5 points. Singapore came in fourth with 72 points, supporting crypto businesses through a $8.9 million blockchain grant. The United States and Portugal also stand out for their contributions to crypto adoption.

Malaysia sees cryptocurrencies and blockchain as key elements for future economic growth, joining the list of countries aiming to lead in the digital economy.
