Why Gibraltar?

Crypto and DLT founders wanting a regulated home

Gibraltar's Distributed Ledger Technology Regulations were the first principles based DLT licensing framework in Europe. The GFSC issues the DLT Provider Licence on nine regulatory principles. Used by major exchanges including Bitso and historically Bullish.

E gaming operators serving UK and international markets

The Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner has licensed online operators since 1998. Bet365, Entain brands, William Hill, 888 all hold licences. Gibraltar licensed operators retain access to the UK market under the post Brexit MoU.

Insurance and protected cell company founders

The GFSC supervises a mature insurance sector with PCC and ICC structures. Territorial tax means only Gibraltar source income is taxed at 15%; foreign source passive income is potentially exempt. English common law, no VAT.

Considerations

If EU passporting or a treaty network matter more

Gibraltar left the EU with the UK and has zero double tax treaties. Financial services no longer passport into EU markets. The Spain Gibraltar treaty addresses tax residency only. EU facing fintechs need an in bloc licence.

→ Ireland EU passporting, 70+ DTAs→ Malta EU + MFSA crypto passporting→ Lithuania EU EMI hub, fast licensing

If you are raising US institutional venture capital

US VCs do not invest into Gibraltar entities and will require a Delaware C-Corp flip. Limited share class flexibility for preferred stock waterfalls. Banking onboarding is slower (30 days) than US, UK or Singapore equivalents.
