Gibraltar foundations, DLT, and ICOs

Abstract

Gibraltar foundations have attracted a lot of interest in the charitable and financial services areas, most notably in the distributed ledger (or blockchain) technology (DLT) and initial coin offering space. Gibraltar is one of the first jurisdictions to embrace DLT technology and the financial services activity it has generated, whilst recognizing the risks inherent in those activities and moving to legislate against them. Given the combination of the interest recently generated in these areas, and the suitability of the Gibraltar foundation as a vehicle through which to engage in these activities, it is of little surprise that Gibraltar foundations are attracting an increasing amount of attention and interest.
