All this attitude is taken into account because the market is not mature to regulate bitcoin and the ICO, this is a rather strange position, the important thing is to protect investors so as not to let people take advantage of the benefits of the market and can deceive the users.

Recently, a senior adviser to the Saudi financial regulator informed the specialized media on Sunday that the cryptocurrency market in Saudi Arabia is not mature enough to assess the influence these cryptocurrencies can have on the economy and regulation.

Another senior adviser, Abdulmalik Al-Sheikh of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA), noted that cryptocurrencies are not what SAMA as an agency focuses on regulating at present.

This comment was the result of the FinTech event in Abu Dhabi.

In addition, he highlighted how the Central Bank of the country is monitoring and measuring the impact of cryptocurrencies. For him, it could be another five years before he sees a real impact and the future operating model of cryptocurrencies. According to him, the key regulators are using the "wait and see approach" for the initial offers of currencies (ICO). It is a means for startups to acquire funds through a virtual currency issue. However, investors typically do not acquire equity in a company compared to those with an initial public offering (IPO). According to CoinSchedule, the industry website, this year alone, more than $ 3 billion have been raised through the ICOs.

In this regard, Malik reported the following. "For us it is not something that is negotiated and accepted globally, it is something that is done and negotiated in different markets. As I mentioned before, we are observing that and monitoring what is happening and trying to measure the associated risks. "
