BANK Negara Malaysia (BNM) is planning to issue guidelines on cryptocurrency by year end, said Governor Muhammad Ibrahim today.
He said cryptocurrency, or digital currency, had attracted a lot of attention from central banks around the globe.
“We hope that by year-end, BNM will be able to come out with some guidelines on cryptocurrency, particularly those related to anti-money laundering and terrorist financing.
“We want to ensure that there is a clear guideline for those who want to participate in this particular sector,” he said on the sidelines of the Global Symposium on Development Financial Institutions in Kuala Lumpur today. – Bernama, September 19, 2017.
