On September 26, 2025, Matrixport, the leading one-stop crypto financial services platform, announced that it has been granted a Financial Services License (FSL) by the Gyalyum Chenmo Memorial College for Mindfulness Authority (GMCA) of Bhutan. This move not only demonstrates Matrixport's leading position in the regulated crypto financial field but also signifies GMC's accelerated emergence as the next-generation global financial innovation hub.
Compliance Expansion: Diversified Financial Services
The approved FSL license empowers Matrixport to offer a range of regulated comprehensive financial services within GMC and globally through GMC. These services include: tailored structured products for global investors, Real World Asset (RWA) solutions bridging traditional and crypto financial markets, institutional prime brokerage services, and institutional-grade secure crypto asset custody.
This approval makes Matrixport a key player in the GMC's financial and crypto ecosystem, helping the region deliver trusted, transparent, and compliant financial products and services.
Local Commitment: Fostering Talent and Economic Development
As part of its strategic expansion, Matrixport will recruit and train local professionals in Bhutan through GMC, driving deep integration of international expertise with local talent development to facilitate skill transfer, capacity building, and long-term economic benefits.
John Ge, CEO of Matrixport, stated: Obtaining the FSL at GMC is both an honor and a responsibility. We view Bhutan and GMC as a strategic base for innovation, compliance, and regional growth. Matrixport will actively support GMC in becoming a globally trusted financial and tech hub and in nurturing more local talents from Bhutan to join our team.
HB Lim, GMCA's Managing Director of Financial Services, also emphasized: GMCA congratulates Matrixport on obtaining the FSL and becoming a regulated financial services company. Matrixport's expansion demonstrates GMC's significant potential in providing next-generation crypto financial services, and its commitment to recruiting and nurturing Bhutanese talents aligns closely with GMC's mission to create employment, facilitate skill transfer, and nurture future leaders in the finance industry.
Shared Vision: Building the Future of Crypto Finance
In the future, Matrixport plans to establish a dedicated office in GMC, continue expanding its compliance service offerings, and play a central role in building a resilient crypto financial ecosystem to bring long-term economic and social benefits to Bhutan and the broader South Asian region.
This partnership also symbolizes a new chapter in global crypto finance — where clear regulation, technological innovation, and inclusive cooperation drive sustainable economic growth together.
