Communication Ministry proposes crypto adoption as a legal tender

Zahidi Zainul Abidin, the deputy minister, told Parliament on Monday that the ministry supports digital assets and crypto tokens like Bitcoin adoption as a legal tender in the nation. He states:
"We hope the government can allow this." 
He said that the main reason behind being ambitious is to target Malaysian youth participation. He stated, "we are trying to see how we can legalize this so that we can develop youth participation in crypto and assist them."

He also added that the digital assets fall under the purview of the nation's Central bank and Securities Commission and the decision on crypto regulation is up to them.

Crypto developments in Malaysia 

Though the details about the proposal and drafting are still unknown, it seems that the thoughts around digital assets have already been developing among the officials in Malaysia.

Notably, the Finance Minister of the country, Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, said a few days back that the payments in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum were illegal in the nation as crypto does not meet the universal characteristics of money.

"Digital assets are not a good store of value or a medium of exchange in general." This is due to volatile price changes due to riskier trading, the risk of theft due to cyber attacks, and the limitations of scalability of digital assets, he explained.

In response to the expanding trend in the digital asset business, Bank Negara Malaysia is working on launching a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and blockchain-related innovations, according to the minister.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
