In the fast-evolving world of blockchain and digital finance, token sales have become a crucial tool for fundraising and asset distribution. As more businesses turn to blockchain for financing and investor engagement, one of the most common questions we receive is:
📍 Where should I conduct my token sale—Gibraltar or Dubai?
Both jurisdictions have emerged as key players in the blockchain space, offering regulatory clarity, favorable business environments, and strategic advantages. However, choosing the right location involves more than just compliance—it requires a deeper understanding of legal structures, tax benefits, banking solutions, and long-term business viability.
Let’s break down the key considerations:
1. Establishing Multiple Entities 🏢
Token sale projects often require separate legal entities to handle different aspects of the business.
- One entity may focus on fundraising, token issuance, and investor relations.
- Another may oversee software development, operations, and business activities.
This structure ensures clear management, optimized legal protection, and streamlined compliance.
2. The Role of Non-Profit Foundations 🏛️
Many token-based projects establish a non-profit entity or foundation to manage:
✅ Fund distribution
✅ Network governance
✅ Transparency and accountability
Foundations help ensure compliance with regulatory standards while reinforcing trust among stakeholders.
3. Tax Optimization Strategies 💰
A well-planned tax strategy can significantly impact the long-term sustainability of a token project.
Factors to consider:
✔️ Favorable tax regimes
✔️ Government incentives
✔️ Efficient business structures to minimize tax burdens
Both Gibraltar and Dubai offer attractive tax benefits, but understanding which framework aligns best with your project is crucial.
4. Residency & Visa Requirements ✈️
If your team needs to relocate, securing the right visas and residency permits is essential.
- Gibraltar and Dubai have different immigration policies that impact work permits and long-term stays.
- Understanding these requirements ensures a seamless setup for your business operations.
5. Banking & Financial Infrastructure 🏦
Opening a corporate bank account that aligns with regulatory standards is often a challenge for crypto-related businesses.
- Strong banking relationships are key to managing funds securely.
- Jurisdictions differ in their approach to crypto banking, so selecting the right location can impact financial operations and growth.
