Carving out a Niche in the Crypto Fund Space

As investor demand for cryptocurrencies and digital assets continues to rise, Gibraltar is carving out a niche for itself in the space. The robustness and flexibility of Gibraltar’s fund regimes positioned it very well for the emergence of crypto and blockchain projects given that they are not limited by investment or leverage restrictions. This has resulted in Gibraltar funds being very popular for the structuring of such investments. The territory’s appeal was crystallised after it was declared the third most popular jurisdiction for crypto funds in the recent PWC report.

Gibraltar is a leading domicile for funds and managers, offering a robust legislative framework and favourable tax advantages, coupled with the flexibility that a small and innovative jurisdiction can offer.

The Hedgeweek ‘Gibraltar in Focus 2022’ report details the regulatory and investment innovations which help encourage further growth in the industry.

The articles outline the legislative structures which aim to attract managers to domicile their funds in Gibraltar. These include the Experienced Investor Fund and changes which allow for a Dual AIFM Regime and the incorporation of Protected Cell Limited Partnership (PCLP).

GFIA and a number of our committee members have contributed to this special report and we are extremely proud to have so many experts as part of the executive committee.
