MALTA, 31st OCTOBER 2018
Representatives from Trust Payment’s acquiring bank – acquiring.com – will be meeting industry leaders this week at the Malta Blockchain Summit, an internationally-renowned expo on Blockchain, AI, Big Data, Quantum Technology and IoT.
Malta, dubbed the world’s first ‘Blockchain Island’, has recently passed three sets of ground-breaking legislation to make it the very first country to officially regulate cryptocurrencies. The legislation will come into effect on 1st November, coinciding with The Blockchain Summit on the 1st and 2nd. The event is fully-endorsed by the Maltese government and will feature 5000 delegates and world-class speakers, and 300 exhibitors and sponsors.
