On September 26, 2025, Matrixport, a global leading one-stop crypto financial services platform, announced that it has obtained a Financial Services License (FSL) issued by the Gross National Happiness City Management Authority (GMCA) of Bhutan. This move not only highlights Matrixport's leading position in the regulated crypto financial sector but also marks the acceleration of Gross National Happiness City (GMC) as a new generation global financial innovation center.
Compliance Expansion: Diversified Financial Services
The approved FSL license authorizes Matrixport to provide a range of regulated comprehensive financial services within GMC and globally through GMC, including: structured products tailored for global investors, real-world asset (RWA) solutions connecting traditional markets with crypto finance, prime brokerage services for institutional clients, and virtual asset custody services with institutional-grade security.
This approval makes Matrixport an important member of the GMC financial and crypto ecosystem, helping the region provide trustworthy, transparent, and compliant financial products and services.
Deepening Local Engagement: Commitment to Talent and Economic Development
As part of its strategic expansion, Matrixport will recruit and train local professionals in Bhutan at GMC, promoting the deep integration of international experience and local talent development, achieving skill transfer, capacity building, and long-term economic benefits.
Matrixport CEO John Ge stated: "Obtaining the FSL in GMC is both an honor and a responsibility. We view Bhutan and Gross National Happiness City as a strategic base for innovation, compliance, and regional growth. Matrixport will actively support GMC in building a globally trusted financial and technology hub and cultivate more local talent from Bhutan to join our team."
GMCA Managing Director of Financial Services HB Lim also emphasized: "GMCA congratulates Matrixport on obtaining the FSL, becoming a regulated financial services company. Matrixport's expansion demonstrates GMC's tremendous potential in providing a new generation of virtual asset financial services, and its commitment to recruiting and training Bhutanese talent aligns closely with GMC's mission to create jobs, transfer skills, and nurture future leaders in the financial industry."
Shared Vision: Building the Future of Crypto Finance
In the future, Matrixport plans to establish a dedicated office in GMC, continuously expanding the scope of compliance services and playing a core role in building a resilient crypto financial ecosystem, bringing long-term economic and social benefits to Bhutan and the entire South Asian region.
This collaboration also symbolizes a new chapter in global crypto finance—where clear regulation, technological innovation, and inclusive win-win scenarios complement each other, jointly driving sustainable economic growth.
