Why Bitso is regulated in Gibraltar
Bitso is authorized and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) for its digital asset services. This authorization falls under a regulatory framework built specifically for companies that work with blockchain-based technology.
Gibraltar's approach is based on principles that prioritize customer protection and the security of systems and funds, instead of a fixed checklist of rules. This gives you more transparency and more confidence that Bitso's digital asset operations meet a consistent security standard.
Being regulated by the GFSC does not change your ownership of your funds. The assets you hold with Bitso remain yours. This regulation adds independent oversight over how Bitso manages security and its operations.
Does Bitso issue invoices for trading operations?
Bitso does not issue invoices for buying, selling, or converting digital assets processed through its Gibraltar-regulated entity.
If you need documentation for tax purposes, use your transaction history and account statements as your record. How your Bitso activity is treated for tax purposes depends on your personal situation. Talk to an accountant or tax advisor to understand what applies to your case.
