Jordan Daily – The Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan, Dr. Adel Sharkas, highlighted the necessity of regulating cryptocurrency platforms under a new licensing framework, to be overseen by the Securities Commission.
This initiative is part of Jordan’s efforts to strengthen its digital economy and mitigate risks such as money laundering, following global standards. Licensed platforms will connect users to approved international exchanges, with Jordanian banks permitted to engage, Sharkas added.
Sharkas emphasized that the regulations aim to protect investors and position Jordan as a secure, innovative destination for digital assets.
