The licence as a provider of distributed ledger technology (DLT) is granted under Gibraltar’s Financial Services Regulations 2018 DLT framework, which makes the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (GSX) the first stock exchange to own a regulated blockchain exchange.

Also, the licence is “Category 3”, which represents the highest category that can be awarded within the DLT regulatory framework.
