V Systems has completed the issuance of Malaysia’s first tokenised sukuk, marking a settlement milestone for the country’s digital capital markets ecosystem.
The issuance follows the earlier launch of the tokenised sukuk priced by Khazanah Nasional Berhad.
V Systems served as the technology platform provider for the transaction.
The pilot has moved from concept to real transaction execution in a controlled environment.
V Systems noted that the transaction shows how tokenised capital market instruments can be supported within a regulated financial environment when governance, controls, institutional coordination and operational readiness are in place.
The pilot required financial institutions and market participants to align existing capital market processes with tokenised workflows.
These covered issuance, settlement and record management.
The tokenised structure allows selected transaction and instrument records to be made available on-chain.
This improves visibility, traceability and auditability across the sukuk lifecycle.
Goh Yuen Khai, Chief Executive Officer of V Systems, said,
“Tokenisation must ultimately prove that it can support real financial market processes with reliability, governance, and institutional trust. The value of tokenisation is not simply putting an instrument on-chain.
The real value comes from improving how market participants coordinate, how records are maintained, how transparency is enhanced, and how future digital assets can interact within a trusted capital market environment.”
V Systems described the issuance as a reference point for future tokenised financial instruments in Malaysia, particularly as the country develops its Islamic finance and digital capital markets ecosystem.
The company added that the pilot has laid the groundwork for future enhancements as tokenised financial instruments become more connected with digital settlement, custody and regulated digital asset infrastructure.
