KUALA LUMPUR (March 13): Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd has invited public feedback on proposed rule amendments to facilitate the listing and trading of digital currency exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Proposed amendments focus on enhanced disclosures, namely specific material information in an immediate announcement and annual report, as well as key risks in a risk disclosure statement, according to a statement on Friday.

“This review follows the Securities Commission Malaysia’s (SC) recent revision of the Guidelines of Exchange-Traded Funds, issued on March 2, 2026, which now permits the offering of digital currency ETFs under an enhanced regulatory framework," Bursa Securities said.

“Bursa Malaysia welcomes the listing of such ETFs on the exchange as part of our ongoing efforts to expand and diversify the range of ETF offerings available to investors," it added. 

It noted this initiative aligns with the SC’s Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030, which aims to broaden access to investment opportunities beyond traditional asset classes and support the continued development of Malaysia’s capital market.

The public is open to share their views and feedback on the proposed amendments by April 10, via https://www.bursamalaysia.com/regulation/public_consultation , Bursa Securities noted.

“These proposed enhancements demonstrate the exchange’s commitment to facilitating new products and services in the evolving Malaysian capital market whilst ensuring that our regulatory framework is underpinned by adequate investor protection,” it added.
