Malta is Leading Blockchain with Delta Summit
When the Prime Minister of Malta speaks about legislation that promotes cryptocurrencies and the evolution of decentralization that is relevant for the entire world.
There are pioneers in blockchain and crypto that are showing us new possibilities. Malta has become an exciting hub for the cryptocurrency world and for blockchain startups.
Today I am heading to Delta Summit.
Malta’s new legislation is a quantum leap forward for the real-world integration of cryptocurrencies.
Entrepreneurs, investors, communities of developers, and crypto enthusiasts are seeing the incredible potential take shape on this unlikely island.
Malta has become a “blockchain island”, where few places in the world can compare.
On the 26th June the Maltese Parliament has unanimously approved the much awaited three bills which set Malta as the first EU country to holistically regulate the blockchain technology industry.
The proposed enactment of the law is now forecasted to go live as soon as the 1st of November 2018. This means 2019 might be one of the brightest years on record for crypto innovation, as regulations, legislation and a new convergence of factors accelerates how blockchain startups can grow.
Satoshi Nakamoto would be proud of Malta, since being open to the future means being open to the future of money, governance, investing, trading and more trustworthy systems themselves. The blockchain is really all about trust.
Who could have predicted that the European Union’s tiniest member would become a refuge for decentralization and crypto-friendly legislation and attract some of the best blockchain startups, people and conferences in the world?
The Delta Summit wants to be Malta’s official and leading blockchain and digital innovation conference and it takes place over the next three days.
Delta Summit is going to be incredible since it’s attracting major projects as evidenced by Binance’s investment in Malta, with official media partnerships with the likes of Bloomberg.
Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat, revealed the island’s plan to become the “global trailblazers in the regulation of blockchain-based businesses.” Where else in the world is government this blockchain friendly? This is as meaningful for entrepreneurs, startups and software developers as it is for cryptocurrency exchanges, investors and traders.
Malta’s ground-breaking legislation is considered bleeding edge, and while there are incredible blockchain hubs all over the world in places like Zug, Berlin, Singapore, London and so forth, it may be that radically forward-thinking smaller countries have a distinct advantage in the area of legislation and regulation.
The Delta Summit is also going to be a place where crypto enthusiasts, doubters and experts can congregate and exchange ideas. It’s this tremendous energy of exchange, experimentation and discussion about the future that to me is also so inspiring. Blockchain startups and crypto appear to be fueling a decentralization movement that could scale as public blockchains become themselves more scalable and ready for mass adoption.
