Jordan Takes Step-by-Step Approach to Regulating Crypto Market
Jordan's proposed crypto framework is not just about licensing companies, but also ensuring that they can withstand failures and protect investors. The country has a history of dealing with unlicensed investment businesses that promise unrealistic returns to local investors.
The Jordan Securities Commission issued a warning in January 2026 about unlicensed foreign-market firms and virtual-asset platforms, highlighting the risks of fraud, loss of funds, and lack of legal protection.
Crypto companies can appear legitimate on the surface but may have underlying issues with client asset management, custody, and cybersecurity. Jordan's framework addresses these concerns by setting standards for governance, AML controls, financial requirements, and more.
