[Malaysia Plans to Allow Exchanges to Independently List Tokens Starting in 2026] The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has proposed that, starting in 2026, licensed cryptocurrency exchanges will be permitted to independently approve token listings without requiring individual approval from the regulatory authority. Under the new framework, exchanges will be responsible for assessing the compliance of tokens and adhering to higher standards of governance, security, and transparency to protect investor interests. This reform aims to streamline the operation of Malaysia's digital asset market, shorten the time required for token listings, and increase the variety of assets available to investors.
