Malta Tightens the Screws: Crypto Firms Now Required to Host EU-Exclusive Websites
Malta Tightens the Screws: Crypto Firms Now Required to Host EU-Exclusive Websites
7

Regulators in Malta—once hailed as the ’Blockchain Island’—just dropped a new compliance bomb. Starting immediately, all Malta-licensed crypto businesses must operate standalone websites exclusively for EU clients. No more one-size-fits-all global portals.
The move signals Malta’s scramble to align with tightening EU financial regulations—while somehow still pretending to be a crypto haven. Because nothing says ’innovation-friendly’ like extra bureaucratic hoops, right?
Firms caught bypassing the rule face penalties, because apparently web hosting costs are now the benchmark for regulatory seriousness. Meanwhile, traditional banks still can’t decide if crypto is a scam or their next profit center.
