马来西亚命令Bybit停止当地业务
从马来西亚最大的交易平台之一到失去信誉，Bybit 正处于边缘，面临法律麻烦。该加密货币交易所及其首席执行官 Ben Zhou 因未经合法注册而运营，已成为马来西亚证券委员会（SC）执法案件的对象。
SC 解释说： “这一决定是出于对该平台遵守当地监管要求和保护投资者利益的担忧而做出的。”
该监管机构补充道， “根据《2007 年资本市场和服务法》第 7(1) 条，在未获得 SC 注册为认可市场运营商 (RMO) 的情况下运营 DAX 属于犯罪行为。”
Bybit 被勒令暂停其在马来西亚的网站、移动应用程序和任何其他数字平台。从 12 月 11 日开始，该组织被授予 14 个工作日的时间来执行此行动。
此外，Bybit 还被指示停止所有针对马来西亚投资者的广告活动，并终止其针对马来西亚人的 Telegram 支持小组。
Bybit是怎么来到这里的？
据报道， Bybit和周某因同样的监管违规行为自2021年7月起被列入监管机构投资者警示名单。不过，据马来西亚证券监管机构称，Bybit 已按照指示遵守执法行动。
Bybit 在其马来西亚电报频道上对投资者表示： “我们理解这可能会造成一些不便……一旦我们获得了适当的许可证，我们期待将来再次与您联系。”

Still, the SC reminded investors that Malaysian securities laws do not protect those who trade crypto on unregistered platforms and that they are at a higher risk of being victims of financial crimes.
The SC asserted, “This enforcement action underscores our commitment to safeguarding investors and maintaining a fair marketplace.”
Notably, in August, the Bybit exchange also departed France as a result of the country’s efforts to impede the acquisition of operating licenses for crypto companies. This was in anticipation of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA).
Legalities in Malaysia on the crypto industry
Malaysia does not recognize crypto as legal tender. The Central Bank of Malaysia Act effectively excludes crypto from this status. The bank designates the ringgit as the country’s exclusive legal tender.
Although the Act does not explicitly prohibit crypto, it restricts the definition of legal tender to the ringgit. But, the Capital Markets and Services Order classifies crypto as securities. This classification provides them with a specific legal status within Malaysia’s financial regulatory framework.
The regulatory framework is further fortified by the Capital Markets and Services Order. This classifies specific digital currencies and tokens as securities. It places them under the jurisdiction of the Securities Commission [SC) Malaysia.
The SC imposes supplementary compliance obligations on crypto businesses, such as the acquisition of the requisite licenses to operate legally. Organizers of unregistered coin offerings may be subject to a sanction of up to 10 million Malaysian ringgit (approximately $2.5 million) or a maximum of 10 years in prison.
What about other crypto asset trading platforms in Malaysia?
Putting a hold on Bybit is not the last straw for crypto investors. BYDFi is one of the remaining crypto trading platforms that is widely recognized in Malaysia and provides a trading experience for Malaysian traders. It has the capacity to meet the requirements of traders who desire to trade crypto using the Malaysian Ringgit. However, it demands KYC requirements.
Phemex is also renowned in Malaysia for its no KYC policy, which is particularly appealing to merchants. This policy enables them to engage in cryptocurrency transactions without disclosing personal information. However, it does not provide Interest-earning products.
In addition, BingX is an alternative crypto exchange in Malaysia. It offers an innovative platform for Malaysian traders looking to enter the crypto industry. However, it is complex in derivatives trading.
Binance also makes it to the list as an option for Malaysian investors. It is especially for individuals seeking to diversify their crypto portfolio beyond conventional options due to its extensive selection of altcoins. But it also has regulatory Challenges
