On 9 March 2026, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim launched the Securities Commission Malaysia's fourth Capital Market Masterplan, CMP4, covering 2026 to 2030.
Alternative assets
The SC says it will develop appropriate regulatory frameworks for alternative assets to give market participants greater clarity. Its priority new asset classes include digital assets, securitised real-world assets, carbon credits and renewable energy certificates.
Tokenisation
The SC will also focus on securities tokenisation, working with intermediaries, innovation leaders and agencies including Bank Negara Malaysia to scale up tokenisation pilots and shorten time to market. It will continue to coordinate with BNM on anti-money laundering and know-your-customer safeguards for digital assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Our view
At TEIZA, we are glad to see this regulatory clarity taking shape. We expect it to support new institutional participation and innovation across the local ecosystem.
