MaltaToday speaks with Christina
Scicluna, Senior Associate at MAMO TCV Advocates on the
concerns surrounding cryptocurrencies and whether the price
fluctuations of cryptocurrencies pose a threat to the stability of
the market. The way investors are protected and what may be done to
increase such protection is also discussed. The interview discusses
certain misconceptions surrounding cryptocurrencies, with
particular focus on anonymity of users and whether the use of
cryptocurrencies facilitates money laundering or whether this too
is a misconception.
The hands-on approach and positive attitude which the Government
has taken towards this new industry, as evidenced by the consultation document issued on
the 17th February 2018 is
indicative of Malta's intention to become a leader in
blockchain and distributed ledger technology arrangements.
