Jordan’s Cabinet approved the Virtual Asset Service Providers Licensing Regulation 2025 and endorsed amendments to the Jordan Securities Commission’s fees and service charges framework. The licensing regulation, issued in light of the Virtual Currency Law 2025, sets rules and requirements for licensing digital trading platforms, including minimum capital requirements and procedures intended to protect traders’ rights. The fee amendments do not introduce new charges, but restructure existing fees and improve calculation mechanisms to increase fairness and efficiency, with implementation to be staged across 2026 and 2027. Measures include reducing the Securities Commission’s share of trading fees in favour of the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) and lowering the fee for renewing the ASE’s licence. The amended fee regulation has been referred to the Bureau of Legislation and Opinion to complete approval procedures.
