Launch ICO & STO

ICO – INITIAL COIN OFFERING

Start-up businesses have drastically changed the way they acquire capital for their new ventures. Nowadays, it is possible for businesses to take their forward thinking ideas to the masses and raise capital from a much bigger pool of potential investors.

Malta is well-known for being at the forefront of multiple disruptive industries like iGaming and blockchain. In addition to that, it is a great jurisdiction for launching ICOs. We can provide you with information on how to launch your ICO in Malta.

STO - Security Token Offering

A security token is a cryptographic token that represents a real world asset such as stock in a company, a bond or is asset backed by real estate, art or precious metals. Digital securities modernize raising capital by upgrading a traditionally illiquid, tedious, and costly process.

Whilst a Security ICO opens the possibility of raises that are orders of magnitude greater than a traditional ICO, the legal and regulatory requirements to successfully launch an STO mean that it is only justified if two or more of the below conditions are met.

WHY MALTA?

Malta is the world leader in online gaming regulation and has strong presence in the regulation of alternative investment fonds. The country has a lot of experience in legal frameworks for niche opportunities.

Cryptocurrencies is a new niche opportunity which Malta is building a sound legal framework for. The financial infrastructure it can provide, together with human capital and modern office infrastructures, Malta is the first choice for all cryptocurrency businesses.

THE REGULATION
AND LICENSING

Malta had seen the economic value of the crypto sector right when the blockchain technology was still in its infancy. Just before the technology rolled out in various areas of the economy, Malta realised that its only way to grow a vibrant blockchain backed economy was to have a clear regulatory framework in place. Therefore, it set a specialised unit within the purpose of researching these technologies. It was also supposed to find ways in which Malta could become the standard for transparent laws on ICO regulation.

All the regulatory entities, as well as the laws that come with the passage of three crypto-laws, give some form of legal certainty. Therefore, it is expected that many new crypto-projects will set base in Malta thereby, energising the already flourishing crypto sector. Moreover, the clarity of the laws has pulled the biggest players in this sector to launch projects from Malta.

The VFAA has introduced four different licenses to regulate the various service providers and forms of the distributed ledger technology can be applied to.
