GMC has positioned itself as a serious digital asset jurisdiction: a regulator with ADGM-derived rules, a Bitcoin Development Pledge backed by sovereign commitment, licensed operators already on the ground, and a coordinated pathway that links incorporation, regulatory approval, and corporate banking through DK Bank in one continuous process. For qualifying firms already regulated in recognised jurisdictions, an accelerated review reduces duplicated compliance work.

We have advised on virtual asset service provider establishment, stablecoin regulation, the redomiciliation of a global cryptocurrency exchange, and Bitcoin-denominated commercial transactions in Bhutan. That work now extends into the SAR.
