The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) is responsible for regulating the use of Bitcoin in Malta. The MFSA has developed a framework for the "Innovative Technology Arrangements and Services" which describes how businesses can become compliant and registered in order to operate within the Maltese financial ecosystem.
Under the new regulations, the MFSA provides a transparent system for businesses offering trading, exchange, and custody services for digital assets such as Bitcoin. The MFSA has exactly defined which type of business activities are allowed and which arenāt.
