Stock Brokers in Malta, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Malta is a smaller EU passporting jurisdiction than Cyprus or Ireland but has been a base for several CFD and crypto-asset firms. MFSA-authorised investment firms passport into other EEA member states under MiFID II; firms also use Malta's VFA Act regime for crypto-asset activities ahead of MiCA harmonisation.
