Organised by FinanceMalta in collaboration with the Malta Asset Servicing Association (MASA), this Warsaw event is tailored for Polish market participants interested in Malta's established digital asset landscape.
The programme covers both sides of the ecosystem: the structuring and management of digital asset funds, and the regulatory framework introduced under MiCA for digital asset service providers.
Why Attend?
Why this matters
Malta was among the first jurisdictions to introduce a dedicated regulatory framework for digital asset funds and virtual financial assets. This event examines how that early-mover position has evolved into a mature ecosystem offering clarity, stability and practical expertise.

- Fund managers exploring digital asset structures
