Far Peak Acquisition Corporation
The following is a transcript of a video release by Bullish posted to Twitter on November 13, 2021. In the video,
Anthony Smith, Bullishs Head of Risk and Compliance, discusses the decision of Bullish Exchange to apply to the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) for the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) license.
So ultimately we assessed several jurisdictions before choosing Gibraltar and I think its important to note that we specifically mapped our own
business considerations to the various regulatory frameworks that we were looking at and then we looked at which regulator would be able to offer us a crypto native if I can call it that licensing regime. Specific to cryptocurrency rather than
trying to fit it into an existing regulatory framework.
We also looked at things like time to market, and ultimately we came up with the fact that
the GFSC or the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission has an established track record in approving and supervising crypto exchanges which is a huge plus for us in the decision.
Also they are heavily focused on protecting customers, and they have strong regulation in areas such as privacy and financial crime legislation which is
really important to us as an exchange.
Its a principles based regime which gives us the outcomes of what the regulation wants to achieve,
rather than telling us how to do it, and so it does allow some flexibility in the way in which regulated firms are able to apply the legislation to their particular business framework.
