Malta is positioning itself as a Blockchain hub and is attracting Blockchain and Technology specialists. Binance (an international multi-language cryptocurrency exchange company) has announced its move to Malta permanently placing the country on the Blockchain map for already existing companies as well as newly emerging businesses seeking a crypto-friendly jurisdiction.

Malta has been deemed one of the best countries to open and relocate companies for cryptocurrencies  – as it has very good IT career opportunities, provides sufficient training, has a lovely environment, it is easy to start a company, and the market is continually asking for more specialised employees such as foreign Blockchain and tech specialists.

Malta provides residency and citizenship programmes which attract investors, gaming, aviation, and financial services executives.
