About Malta

An island of opportunity for crypto

Malta was one of the first countries in the world to introduce a solid legislative framework for operators in the crypto sector, such as exchanges, custodians, brokers, and payment processors.

The VFA framework offers four license classes allowing CASPs to operate with regulatory and legal certainty. And the world's leading crypto exchanges, such as Crypto.com, OkCoin, and Gate, have obtained their VFA in Malta.

Malta enjoys a stable political climate with accredited economic growth. It’s also part of the commonwealth and EU, making it a perfect platform for trade and free movement.

From direct government support to attractive tax incentives, Malta is one of the leading jurisdictions for business ventures to thrive.

Not only does it guarantee safety and stability, but it also supports the growth and emancipation of your business.
