How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Malta

Buying cryptocurrency in Malta

Buying cryptocurrency in Malta Wanting to position itself as a world leader in cryptocurrency regulation, Malta has adopted a rather progressive approach to cryptocurrencies. Even though cryptocurrencies aren�t considered legal tender in the country, the government of Malta does acknowledge them as an exchange medium, a unit of account and even a store of values. The country doesn�t have any specific legislation regarding the taxing of cryptocurrencies, and VAT isn�t currently applicable to transactions where fiat currency is exchanged for crypto. When it comes to cryptocurrency exchanges in Malta, they are deemed legal. Furthermore, the government of Malta implemented major legislation, which would define a new regulatory system for cryptocurrencies and address the subjects of anti-money laundering and combat terrorism financing. This legislation consists of three separate bills that set a world precedent by creating a regulatory system which is applicable to cryptocurrency exchanges, brokers, ICOs, advisers, asset managers, as well as wallet providers.
