Gibraltar is set to establish the world’s first regulatory framework for clearing and settling crypto derivatives, aiming to enhance market integrity and mitigate systemic risks. The government collaborated with the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and Bullish, a crypto exchange, to adapt traditional financial clearing rules for VIRTUAL assets over a six-month development period.

The new framework will enable recognized clearing houses to process virtual asset derivative contracts—a function previously handled by exchanges themselves. This shift promises greater transparency and reduced counterparty risk in a market where unregulated intermediaries have dominated post-trade processes.
