The policy was developed by a specialized government agency under the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) institution. The proposed framework requires approval from the legislative body and input from digital asset companies operating in the country, and is expected to be rolled out in phases starting in 2026.
