LFSA is based in Malaysia and covers the Malaysia jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it requires AML/KYC registration and provides meaningful oversight, though investors should also verify whether the exchange holds additional licences.
Visit the official LFSA website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the exchange's registered name to confirm its current status. This is the most reliable way to verify regulatory standing.

Always choose exchanges with published cold storage ratios and Proof of Reserves attestations.
