Malaysia flags Atomic Wallet as unauthorized operation
Malaysia's securities regulator has added Atomic Wallet, a Web3 wallet service, to a list of financial firms prohibited from operating in the country, according to the Malaysian Securities Commission's website. Atomic Wallet was flagged for "operating a digital asset exchange (DAX) without registration," according to the website. The regulator did not specify further, but Atomic Wallet fell victim to a hack of more than $100 million in 2023 and since has been the subject of lawsuits.
