ASIA

Cryptocurrency regulations across Asia remain diverse and inconsistent, with countries
adopting varied approaches to licensing, consumer protection, and compliance with
AML and CFT standards.
While leaders like Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore have clear frameworks to attract
innovation, others are in the process of developing or updating their policies. Data
sovereignty and privacy also play a critical role in the region’s evolving regulatory
landscape especially pertaining to AI.
Most Asian countries, particularly the 10 ASEAN nations, have established common dataprotection principles. Data sovereignty is emerging as a significant issue, particularly for organizations in the AI and digital assets space.
Asia’s regulatory landscape for crypto and data protection is rapidly maturing, with notable leadership from countries like Japan and Singapore. Monitoring these developments closely and engaging proactively will be vital.
