It was an opportunity to share with a Swiss audience Gibraltar’s progress over the last four years following the introduction of our purpose built regulatory framework forDLT and the benefit of maintaining our strategy of a high barrier to entry so thatDLT regulated firms in Gibraltar share the Government’s philosophy of world class regulation and placing customers’ interests first.
“This is the first Blockchain conference that we have participated in person outside of Gibraltar for almost two years but during that period we have continued to develop the DLT sector at pace. At the start of 2021 I announced a working party for a 10th Core DLT Principle on Market Integrity, they have made great progress and I hope to be able to make a further announcement on this initiative shortly.”
