Fineqia reported that it established in Malta in order to hold its growing portfolio of blockchain, fintech, and cryptocurrency technology companies globally.
According to Fineqia, Malta was selected for its advanced regulatory framework that qualifies and regulates blockchain and cryptocurrency companies. CEO of Fineqia, Bundeep Singh Rangar, stated that Malta checks a lot of the boxes as a crypto-friendly market.
”Choosing a jurisdiction where the legal and regulatory frame is in sync with emerging technology and new financial instruments is as important as selecting sound investment opportunities in the first place.”
