Bitcoin exchange Coinfloor receives Gibraltar DLT license

Bitcoin exchange Coinfloor receives Gibraltar DLT license

Coinfloor, the well established bitcoin exchange originating out of the UK was awarded a full Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) license last week by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC).

Coinfloor is now fully compliant with Gibraltar’s DLT legislation introduced in January of this year, which is a purpose-built legislative framework for businesses that use blockchain or DLT. The principles-led approach allows businesses to engage with regulators in a robust and speedy manner while also providing the flexibility required for guidelines to evolve in tandem with the fast moving nature of blockchain technology.

The awarding of the licence follows completion of a rigorous application process and authorizes Coinfloor to store or transmit value belonging to others using blockchain technology. Coinfloor’s history goes back to 2012 when they experienced first-hand the challenges of buying, selling, and trading bitcoins in the UK, and wanted to build a business that solved this problem.

Following the introduction of Gibraltar’s DLT legislation, businesses were invited to engage with the GFSC to discuss whether proposed activities would require licencing. Once this was established, submissions were then subject to an initial risk assessment by the GFSC. The process also involved applicants making an in-person presentation to the GFSC, outlining a comprehensive business plan and details of how they planned to meet the nine regulatory principles.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”Gibraltar’s Minister for Commerce, The Hon Albert Isola MP” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]“We have championed internationally compliant, robust, and sensible legislation to regulate this revolutionary technology in Gibraltar while simultaneously striving to maintain the conditions that encourage further private sector innovation. This announcement is another positive development which shows that Gibraltar is open for business and ready to work with quality companies to provide a regulated road to market. Our congratulations to the team at Coinfloor on the granting of their DLT licence which is very much part of the next logical step in our journey towards making Gibraltar a world class destination for blockchain companies. The licence approval process has been underpinned by the principles-based regulatory framework for DLT and I believe it will set the standard for customer experience in this space while providing opportunity for innovators to develop further.”[/perfectpullquote]
