Celebrus Advisory, a Malaysia-based blockchain advisory firm, has added Polymath to its suite of technology providers for customers in South East Asia seeking to take advantage of security tokens. This comes as The Securities Commission of Malaysia moves closer to rolling out its ground-breaking Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) regulations.

According to Celebrus, Malaysia is considered to be the first jurisdiction to specifically license IEOs – the digital asset equivalent of Initial Public Offerings (IPO) – and will soon begin accepting applications from IEO operators. Following on from Malaysia’s legalization of secondary market trading of digital currencies in 2019, the IEO rules intend to regulate the primary market lifecycle of security tokens and make the country one of the world’s most advanced in crypto-based capital formation.

“Polymath is the global leader in asset tokenization technology and pioneered the industry’s security token standard with ERC 1400,” said Edmund Yong, Cofounder of Celebrus. “Malaysia’s IEO regulations will be a key tipping point for the digital asset industry, hastening its institutionalization and shaping the crypto equivalent of investment banking. Polymath will play a major role in this shift, and its tech will be among the core aspects of our advisory offering.”

Polymath and Celebrus are both supporters of the Security Tokens Standard, which promotes a unified approach to identifying, classifying and analyzing tokens.

“We’re excited to work alongside Celebrus to build the security token ecosystem and support crypto and blockchain development in Malaysia and across South East Asia,” said Lechi Zhang, Director, Business Development (APAC) at Polymath. “We’re already having productive conversations with major organizations looking to use our technology, white label our solution platform, or participate in the Polymesh blockchain initiative.”
