Regulation of crypto-environment in Mauritius

Law-abiding firms may ask for a VASP-license; it allows them to transact in digital currencies. Permits for such business-activities may give firms a high level of safeguard and steadiness when trading digital assets, spreading intermediary services or investing, as opposed to using offshore organizations to operate with crypto-currency.

VASP-firms acting locally are regulated by the FSC. To deal with cryptographic assets both within and outside jurisdiction, a firm needs to submit a licensing application to the FSC.

Companies from other jurisdictions intending to offer digital monetary means services need to establish their organization on the island. If a foreign person requires a permit, but his/her key focus of activity is directed mainly outside the country, he/she needs another permit, with which our company’s specialists will help.

Virtual assets are a digital representation of value being able to be exchanged or transferred digitally, and used for payment or investment-schemes. Nevertheless, it isn’t a digital equivalent of fiat currency, securities and other financial assets covered by Securities Act of 2005.

VASP may be defined as individual capital-holder or organization providing next-mentioned service range.

  1. Class M. Broker-dealer of digital assets. Firms possess rights to work with the exchange of digital currencies and fiat, and between digital assets.
  2. Class O. Organization of centralized wallets for digital assets. Companies with such a permit may spread digital currency transfer services.
  3. Class R. Digital currency holders. They are responsible for the secure storage of digital assets.
  4. Class I: Providing digital asset recommendation services. This category includes professional consultancy on trading, investment instruments and other similar service ranges.
  5. Class S. For marketplaces with virtual assets. Organizations with such permission organize a space for trading and exchanging digital assets.

Our experts are ready to give fully-covering support in getting and purchasing any of the designated types of permits. We offer Forex-licenses in Belize, Germany, Estonia, Latvia and others.
