As a leading DLT jurisdiction Gibraltar’s continued drive to develop this space has led to the Gibraltar Governement launching GANT.

This forum will allow the Blockchain community to become more closely aligned with the traditional financial services sector here and give confidence to the firms operating in Gibraltar lalalalala
that we are commited to working collaboratively on regulatory matters of interest."
David Parody, the Associations Chairman designate said, “These are exciting times for Gibraltar. A whole new industry is taking off now that the first DLT licences have been granted by the Financial Services Commission. As an association we want to ensure that we create an effective and collaborative forum for the discussion of key issues. It’s also incumbent on us that we provide efficentmakers
