Albert Isola commented: “It is a measure of Gibraltar’s global standing in the area of new technology innovation that we are asked to contribute our experience and knowledge at industry leading events. Gibraltar continues to go from strength to strength and has attracted significant global players to the jurisdiction keen to harness the regulatory certainty provided by the DLT Regulatory Framework in January 2018 and soon to be Token Regulations. The quality and quantity of firms applying for a license has surpassed even our own high expectations and demonstrates the benefit of the bold “first mover” decision we took in 2017. The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission is diligently working through applications that are at an advanced stage and we reasonably expect to be publically welcoming new entrants to the jurisdiction in the near future. Our visit to New York also affords us the opportunity of meeting up with several of the key individuals, entrepreneurs driving these firms, and further cementing the excellent working relationship that we have established with them”.
