The document provides a justification for the fact that this initiative is designed to create a more vibrant and secure trading environment for investors in the region.

Under the proposed framework, approved exchanges will be permitted to list specific cryptocurrencies without the need for prior regulatory approval. This change is expected to encourage innovation and attract more participants to the Malaysian crypto market.
Criteria for Cryptocurrency Listing
To qualify for listing, cryptocurrencies must meet certain criteria, including:
- undergoing thorough security audits
- being actively traded for a minimum of one year on compliant platforms
Enhancing Market Integrity
This requirement is intended to ensure that only reliable and secure assets are made available to investors, thereby enhancing overall market integrity.
