New laws of Malta on ICO

[moseich]

The Government of Malta has just published 3 draft laws on local regulation of ISO.
In comments in the press met the description of these laws. And it says about the requirements for white paper. I can not find - will someone help?

Here is an article about new blockchain regulations, does this help?

This is another support for the growth of cryptocurrency market. Malta has began a legal framework for regulating crypto and ico and this will further protect investors via 3 bills, the Innovation bill, technology arrangements and services bill, and Virtual assets bill.

The regulation also supports the two major exchanges, Binance and OKEx. I won't be surprise if the fees for this exchanges begin to increase more but overall, this is nice news for the new week.

Yes thank you.

In the term, "white paper" the law unites and other documents. The first meaning of the term is being erased.
The term came from marketing, but it turns into a volume technical document.
But in general this is very good news.

When will Binance move to Malta? I heard they're going to create 200+ jobs there,

So the predictions of smaller and more agile economies taking a lead in crypto are playing out.

The question is at what point do larger countries start to apply pressure if things are really exploding and do they yield to them?

I have already created a thread about it back on May 1st, 2018. See the link below,

Malta Approves Three New Bills to provide regulation to crypto market

The three proposals are,
1. Virtual Financial Assets Bill
2. Technology Arrangements and Services Bill
3. Malta Digital Innovation Authority Bill

However, I doubt anything has been specifically mentioned about whitepaper here. These bills are covering the matter at a very high level. If you want to get more closer look at it, I suggest you to get in touch with a lawyer who are expert in crypto related matters. Because looking at these bills, it's hard to pinpoint anything about the whitepaper specifically.

Really it is a great news coming from Malta. If more countries begin to put investors plight into consideration as to regulating and supporting exchanges, more investors would push more money into cryptos and the market off will moon more. Nice news.

Malta has always been more friendly to the Internet.
Ten years ago, she pulled all the playgrounds to her. And the Isle of Man was left with nothing. Then Malta was able to withstand the pressure of the United States on online poker. Let's see how it will be now.

There is a constant discussion about the content of the document - "white paper".
In my opinion everyone has already forgotten that this is a marketing document. It should not be long and tedious.
ICO's teams compete to write it more and more, as the novel harry potter
My opinion is not right.
If malta formulated the requirements for the document - it will be objective.
You do not need a lawyer to study. Thank you.

I was searching for this information. I really thank you for sharing. Malta has taken the first step in this matter and I am really curious what changes will be made as a result

[marielbeckham]

Wow, I really did not suppose that Malta is so friendly regarding this.

[labhsikh123]

New laws of Malta on ICO. It is a positive response.

[Bharat24]

Malta has taken the very first step in the matter of crypto currencies. The new law of Malta on ICO is responsive. Malta approves three new bills to provide regulations to crypto market.

Well, who else should have started.  They know what to put and what will bring them a lot of profit in the future.

There is something that intrigues me the most on ther article provided by Jet Cash and that is how Binance and OKex took advantage of the situation and made their services available for the country. Foreign exchanges taking over their trading is not a bad idea but if they do want to have a bigger economy and the best benefit coming to their country in terms of income I think allowing a local company to create their own exchange is another option, they will also have control in their regulation as it is operating locally.

Yeah, although I thought it would be Gibraltar to be the one to lead, especially when it made the announcements of its regulated blockchain exchange - and then the coming into effect of its blockchain Act in 2018 that would really attract these big guys. Binance seems to have escaped the attentions of its home country (and was it Japan that it tried at first?). I always believed this was going to be the "new Swiss bank" era of private finance, now that banking everywhere is forced to comply with regulations to get out of blacklists.

Can't run away forever, though, and centralised exchanges will have to pursue some form of decentralised business when the dust settles.

The only reason these smaller places exist is to bypass unfair things in huge states. Perhaps someone finds that their local tax requirements are insanely high and it's ruining their wealth, these small jurisdictions will always find profit in filling that need.

Same goes for prohibitive requirements to be "qualified investors" in order to invest (for example ICOs)

Im not sure to what extent big nations can push small jurisdictions to follow their orders, but it's possible big governments don't and will never do nothing about the so called tax havens because the government itself is profiting from them. Just look at Trump, he is known for avoiding taxes and he is now the president. Im sure all of them have off-shore accounts while they punish their citizens with high taxes, when (in an ideal world) these with insane amounts of money should be helping paying the most. Of course as long as an ideal world doesn't exist, these places will exist, just like governments with insane taxes will also exist.

This makes Malta one of the friendliest crypto jurisdictions to date. Maybe with this framework, we can begin to see other jurisdictions similar in size look to capitalize on the slow movement of the EU and US regulators.

Lets not forget that this is about a contest between cryptocurrency and fiat. So most likely, to clasify a country as big means that the country is doing well economically and that their fiat is strong, okay and their pride. In that sense, they may not be in a rush to pioneer the race for a crypto economy. Hence, they can only want to take up the mantle when is obvious that they can't go back to continue following the globe as it is changing.
