The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is a statutory body who has made an announcement of registering three recognized market operators (RMOs) to open up digital asset exchanges (DAXs) in Malaysia. The SC hasn’t only registered the RMOs for the opening up of the DAXs, but it has also registered the RMOs for the operation of the DAXs in Malaysia. The RMOs can comply with every regulatory requirement completely within 9 months.
If the SC has not approved a DAX operator, then the operator would have to stop their activities in no time. They even would have to return all monies and assets of investors. If the operator operates a DAX with no authorization from the SC, then the act will be considered as an illegal act under securities laws. The operator may be fined or imprisoned or both.
