Gibraltar and Malta are willing to improve their economies by attracting cryptocurrency and blockchain companies. Nations are competing to win the favor of this industry. Malta is leading because of its position in EU. For the past few years, Gibraltar and Switzerland were preferred for companies working with DLT, but since Brexit, companies are now aiming to be located in a country that grants direct access to an entire market. Since Malta has its place in the EU, but Gibraltar’s status as an EU country is unclear, investors believe that their products will be more accessible to EU markets if they choose the location in Malta.
