Maldives Plans $9 Billion Crypto Hub to Boost Investment

The Maldives government has announced plans to establish a $9 billion crypto hub after it signed a deal with MBS Global Investments, a Dubai-based firm, to boost investment.

The proposed development includes three architecturally distinct towers for international and regional business operations, luxurious homes by the sea, top hotel brands, and distinct retail space. It also planned to build an Oceanographic Museum, a mosque, and a comprehensive educational infrastructure, including an international school.

Remarkably, the latest initiative aims to employ 16,000 individuals at the Maldives International Financial Centre (MIFC), which will have a total capacity of 3,500 people and a size of 780,000 sqm.

A Strategic Plan

By accommodating high-profile conferences, cultural programming, and technology-driven hackathons, the multi-purpose venue will position Malé as a strategic assembly center. This will foster continuous engagement and contribute to the sustained growth of the nation’s hospitality infrastructure.

MIFC is designed to draw in global entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and high-net-worth individuals seeking financial freedom and privacy. It has no corporate tax, tax-free inheritance, full ownership rights, or residency requirements.

Following the announcement, residents will enjoy international banking options and private offshore services. Modern rules that support digital currencies and eco-friendly investments will make MIFC a place to grow wealth for future generations.

Furthermore, it will be designed with wellness and longevity at its core. This development aims to become a premier address for residents and businesses. It will offer top-tier sports facilities, innovative health and wellness centers, and a network of shaded running and cycling paths integrated into lush, green landscapes.

Maldives Positions For Growth and Expansion

MIFC will have top-notch shops, popular restaurants, and exciting cultural spots. Essentially, it will bring everything you need to live, work, and unwind together in one place.

Commenting on the proposed move, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu said:

“With the MIFC, we are shaping the Maldives of tomorrow, a beacon of innovation and national pride that will thrive in harmony with nature. The financial centre will be a symbol of economic resilience and set a new global benchmark that will massively benefit the Maldives people for generations to come.”

The Minister of Finance for the Maldives added that the project will provide a valuable opportunity for the country to reshape its economy. It will also help the South Asian country to diversify beyond tourism, becoming a magnet for visionary entrepreneurs and world-class companies.

MIFC will be built to handle future climate challenges and use only renewable energy. Cars and trucks will move underground so people can enjoy a clean, open, and safe space above ground.
