The Central Bank of Malaysia announced a 3-year asset tokenization roadmap, focusing on RWA

Techub News, according to Cointelegraph, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has recently unveiled a three-year asset tokenization roadmap. The plan involves conducting Proof-of-Concept (PoC) and live pilot projects through its "Digital Asset Innovation Hub" (DAIH). This roadmap establishes an "Industry Working Group (IWG) on Asset Tokenization" jointly led by BNM and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), focusing on scenarios that deliver clear economic value. These include supply chain financing for SMEs, Shariah-compliant financial products, green finance, 24/7 automated cross-border settlement, MYR-denominated tokenized deposits and stablecoins, and CBDC integration. Furthermore, BNM emphasized that this tokenization initiative focuses on "real-world assets," not traditional cryptocurrencies. Industry feedback is now open; the public can submit comments on the discussion paper until March 1, 2026.
