Gate Europe Strategic Analysis: Why Choose Malta as the Crypto Business Hub

【Crypto World】Gate’s layout in the European market begins in Malta. This is not a random choice.

As early as 2018, the Gate team conducted systematic benchmarking across multiple jurisdictions in Europe. They compared not only the openness of regulatory attitudes but also the maturity of legal frameworks, government support levels, and even the development potential of the entire ecosystem. Malta stood out for three key reasons: first, it was one of the first European jurisdictions to introduce cryptocurrency regulations; second, the strategic positioning as the “Blockchain Island” attracted a large number of industry participants; third, the government’s support for the crypto industry is relatively clear.

By the end of 2018, Gate completed formal registration in Malta. This seemingly simple step actually laid a complete foundation of systems and processes for subsequent compliant operations.

More importantly, Gate established a deep cooperative relationship with the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). Years of localized operations not only strengthened the platform’s compliance capabilities but also, in turn, promoted the development of the entire Malta crypto ecosystem. Today, Gate regards Malta as the core hub in Europe and continues to expand its business footprint into other European markets. This “first point, then expansion” strategy ensures compliance and stability while reserving space for long-term growth.
