Bank Negara Malaysia puts an end-2026 policy clock on ringgit stablecoins and tokenised deposits

How Bank Negara Malaysia’s February 2026 DAIH update adds an end-2026 policy timetable for ringgit stablecoins and tokenised deposits inside a wholesale settlement perimeter.

Bank Negara Malaysia’s 11 February 2026 DAIH statement converts broad experimentation into a dated central-bank signal.

BNM did not announce a retail rollout or a final regime.

It also put ringgit stablecoins and tokenised deposits inside controlled 2026 testing and paired that testing with an end-2026 promise of greater policy clarity.

BNM’s February 2026 Digital Asset Innovation Hub update matters because it turns exploratory tokenisation work into a dated supervisory signal: Malaysia’s central bank now has a stated timetable for clarifying how ringgit stablecoins and tokenised deposits may be used inside a controlled wholesale perimeter.
