"I would say every day I get two or three inquiries on some
crypto or blockchain-related project. There is a lot of interest in
all things crypto here in the BVI," observes Michael
Killourhy, Partner at Ogier (BVI).
Such is the level of interest that earlier this year, Killourhy
(pictured) noted in a briefing that the BVI was keen to investigate
a role in this new capital raising phenomena, which, it is
believed, raised an estimated
USD3.5 billion in ICOs around the world during 2017.
According to Cryptobriefing, over the first
six months of 2018 the BVI saw USD78.5 billion of trading volume in
crypto assets, putting it in second place behind the US, which,
with USD83.8 billion is the world's largest cryptocurrency
market.
