Whether launching an exchange or relocating a payment platform to Malta, BDO Malta provides legal, financial, and corporate support to ensure a smooth transition. Our team advises on blockchain-related initiatives, including Initial Token Offerings (ITOs), structuring for DLT asset trading, and performance audits to enhance transparency and accountability.
Regulatory frameworks for fintech businesses continue to evolve, introducing new requirements for compliance and operational resilience. The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) has set new standards for crypto-asset service providers, while Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) must meet stringent licensing and risk management obligations. BDO Malta offers expert guidance to help fintech businesses structure their operations effectively and meet regulatory expectations.
Success in fintech and blockchain requires a balance between innovation, compliance, and long-term stability. Our multidisciplinary team brings expertise across regulatory, financial, and operational domains, assisting businesses in structuring their activities, identifying tax incentives, and strengthening their market position.
