BNM Stablecoin Sandbox: Ringgit Tokenization

Malaysia's Central Bank Launches Stablecoin Sandbox Pilots

Malaysia's Central Bank Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is piloting three regulatory sandbox programs through the Digital Asset Innovation Hub (DAIH). A regulatory sandbox is a framework that allows innovative financial solutions to be tested in a supervised environment. These programs aim to accelerate cross-border payments using ringgit stablecoins, develop tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and test tokenized bank deposits. RWAs refer to assets like real estate or bonds being tokenized on the blockchain to provide liquidity and fractional ownership. The research will form the basis for wholesale CBDC development.
