ISOLAS has represented Gibraltar on the global playing field, as the jurisdiction continues to shape innovation and regulation in the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and crypto space.
The Firms’ fintech team was instrumental in the implementation of Gibraltar's regulatory framework, co-chairing the Government's working group on blockchain for three years, specifically established to develop the infrastructure to accommodate a specific DLT regulatory framework in Gibraltar and for its use as a transfer or storage of value mechanism.
ISOLAS acted for the first licensee under the new DLT regulatory framework, implemented in January 2017 and continues to act for a large section of licensees/applicants. The firm is heavily involved in industry groups dedicated to enhancing and developing the regulatory and commercial framework to support DLT companies.
