A country known for its crypto-friendly reputation, Malta, is set to revise its cryptocurrency regulations in line with the European Union’s (EU) MiCA framework starting in 2024.
These forthcoming regulations mark a significant step as they will be the first comprehensive cryptocurrency regulations in a major region. Once implemented, cryptocurrency companies in Malta will be able to operate across the entire EU with a single license.
As an EU member, Malta aims to harmonize its existing crypto regulations with MiCA to facilitate the adaptation of cryptocurrency businesses in the country. One notable proposal is the requirement for crypto providers to have a well-defined plan for an organized shutdown of their operations, if necessary.
The public consultation on these proposed changes will remain open until September 29th. Malta, which already boasts advanced cryptocurrency regulations, aims to bring its rules further in line with EU standards through this move.
