About Gibraltar and Blockchain

Gibraltar is one of the few jurisdictions to have a regulatory framework designed specifically for the regulation of blockchain businesses.

Already a regulatory leader in online gambling, the government decided in 2014 that it wanted to regulate the blockchain industry and started to work with the private sector to create a principles-based regulatory framework that would be appropriate, not only for cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet service providers, but also businesses that use distributed ledger (blockchain) technology to store or transmit value belonging to others.
