Strengthening Compliance and Market Reach with Multi-Jurisdictional Licensing Efforts
Malta, March 31, 2025 — CZR Exchange, the next-generation digital asset trading platform, announced today the relocation of its global headquarters from Abu Dhabi to Malta as part of its accelerated regulatory and operational strategy. Establishing a strategic European base with global reach, CZR is actively pursuing multiple exchange licenses in key jurisdictions to support its ambitious 2025 roadmap.
The move to Malta, an EU member state with a well-defined digital asset framework, represents a pivotal step in CZR’s commitment to regulatory compliance and rapid market entry. The decision was driven by the need to meet aggressive launch timelines while adhering to the evolving MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) framework.
“Shifting our HQ to Malta allows us to move faster while staying true to our compliance-first ethos,” said Charlie Rothkopf, Founder and CEO of CZR Exchange. “Malta gives us an EU anchor that supports both speed and credibility — and that’s critical as we prepare to scale CZR globally.”
From its new headquarters in Malta, CZR is actively building its compliance infrastructure and working with local regulatory advisors to align with MiCA and other pan-European guidelines. The EU base will serve as the legal and operational hub for CZR’s global expansion strategy.
CZR Exchange continues to expand its international operations with key initiatives across multiple regions:
- Singapore remains the core of CZR’s product and technology development, where the platform’s trading engine and smart contract infrastructure are being built.
- Hong Kong is the focus of early-stage licensing efforts, with CZR working to establish a regulatory foothold in the APAC market.
- Switzerland has played a key role in institutional partnerships, with recent strategic meetings in Davos helping align investment channels in Europe.
- United Arab Emirates, where CZR was previously headquartered, remains a target for licensing under VARA, with plans to revisit a regional office once operational timelines are optimized.
CZR is actively pursuing exchange licenses in multiple jurisdictions to strengthen its global regulatory framework. The company is aligning with MiCA regulations in Malta and the broader EU, securing a foothold in Hong Kong through early-stage licensing efforts, and continuing development in Singapore, where its core technology infrastructure is built. Additionally, CZR is exploring licensing opportunities under VARA in the United Arab Emirates, ensuring compliance across key markets as it scales its international presence.
These regulatory efforts support CZR’s mission to offer a compliant, utility-driven trading environment powered by the upcoming $CZR token, which will unlock benefits such as trading fee discounts, staking rewards, platform governance, and more.
