Gibraltar Cracks Down on Crypto Derivatives With New Clearing Rules—Because ’Trust Us’ Wasn’t Cutting It
Gibraltar Cracks Down on Crypto Derivatives With New Clearing Rules—Because ’Trust Us’ Wasn’t Cutting It
6

Gibraltar’s financial watchdog just dropped a regulatory hammer on crypto derivatives—finally giving traders something clearer to ignore. The new framework mandates standardized clearing and settlement protocols, aiming to curb the Wild West vibes of unregulated contracts.
Why now? With institutional players dipping toes into crypto waters, the Rock wants to position itself as the adult in the room. Expect pushback from degens who preferred the old ’YOLO-first, ask-questions-never’ approach.
One thing’s certain: when a tax haven starts preaching market integrity, even Bitcoin maximalists might crack a smile. Just don’t expect hedge funds to read the fine print before levering up 100x.
