Industry stakeholders met for the first time in the jurisdiction where licensees rarely step foot on.
Vanuatu's Class D license that covers virtual assets creates a sense of anticipation among industry participants.
Vanuatu
In the watchdog series, we provide our readers with direct insights from the regulators that shape the retail trading industry. After an in-depth interview with the Chair of CySEC (who spoke about investors' responsibility and AI integration), and an exclusive comment from the FCA about the consumer duty deadline, today we bring you Nicolas Ritoux, the Communications Officer at the Financial Markets Association of Vanuatu. His article sheds light on why and how the quintessential offshore jurisdiction wants to draw in brokers to the Island.
In a recent symposium hosted by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC), the nation's budding fintech industry took center stage as a strategic sector with immense potential for the country's economic growth. The "Virtual Assets: Navigating the Legal Framework" event shed light on Vanuatu's efforts to embrace the world of virtual assets and cryptocurrencies.
As the regulatory landscape undergoes significant changes, industry experts, licensees, regulators, and politicians come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Among the key players in this rapidly evolving space are licensees, such as Deriv, TMGM, Axi, and Titan FX that shared valuable insight on their experiences with the new regulatory regime.
WATCH live stream today on the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission's FB page of their Virtual Symposium "Navigating the Legal Framework". Including guest speaker 9.10am (Van time) Loretta Joseph (Chair IDAEA) on Vanuatu’s Virtual Assets Legal Framework Update #DigitalEconomypic.twitter.com/uSHaXAcy26
Vanuatu was regarded as an offshore jurisdiction for many years, with hundreds of brokers registered on the island. However, the regulator on the island made its regulations around the financial services industry strict with a mandated physical presence, bringing down the number of registered brokers to only around 60.
Nicolas Ritoux, Communications Officer at Vanuatu Financial Services Commission
The island nation's journey into the world of virtual assets began 18 months ago when the amended Financial Dealers Licensing Act paved the way for trading digital assets. This groundbreaking move opened up opportunities for forex and commodities brokers under Class A, B, and C licenses. However, the Class D license, which covers virtual assets, remained uncharted territory, creating a sense of anticipation among industry participants.
The symposium saw the participation of renowned Australian expert, Loretta Joseph, who has been advising the VFSC about virtual assets since the new law was passed in 2021. Joseph, also an advisor to the Commonwealth Secretariat on Virtual Assets, emphasized the importance of strong licensing requirements and robust compliance models to prevent financial crime. She envisioned Vanuatu as part of a harmonious, globalized framework that would lead the way in the world of virtual assets, setting the stage for a bright future.
Insights from the Licensees
The goal of regulations is to protect the interest of retail investors. However, consultation with the industry players is crucial to clarify the roadblocks, if any. Among the licensees operating under the new regulatory regime in Vanuatu, Deriv, TMGM, Axi, and Titan FX shared their experiences and challenges in navigating the path to compliance.
The Chief Risk Officer of Axi, Simon Hodgkiss, expressed the company's commitment to investing heavily in Vanuatu. However, the shortage of local staffing proved to be a hurdle, leading them to bring in support staff from Australia. Obtaining visas, permits, and licenses further compounded the challenge. Indeed, finding local talent can be challenging as Vanuatu only has a total population of about 320,000.
Dephney Sumsum, the local manager for Axi, highlighted the lack of harmony among various stakeholders, which delayed their progress. Similarly, Dominique Dabu, a local director for Deriv, who had prior experience at the company's Dubai office, mentioned facing struggles during the setup process in Vanuatu. The licensees collectively emphasized the need for smoother collaboration among regulatory bodies to facilitate a seamless process for foreign fintech investors.
James Hudson from Titan FX suggested that licensees should clarify that the beneficial owners of their entities are the same individuals, easing local banks' concerns about associating with 'high-risk' businesses. He even proposed the idea of creating a virtual asset exchange under a Class D license, utilizing a Vatu-backed stablecoin to facilitate funds in and out of the country, thereby reducing dependency on overseas banks and EU watchlists.
To attract crypto companies, Vanuatu will compete with jurisdictions like Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong, which are far more developed in infrastructure and provide an excellent talent pool both locally and internationally.
Regulatory Perspective and Political Support
Regulators and politicians at the symposium were vocal about their commitment to fostering a supportive environment for the fintech industry. VFSC's Commissioner, Branan Karae stressed the importance of collaboration among all stakeholders to maximize the benefits of the new regulatory framework. He encouraged a joint effort to attract more fintech businesses to Vanuatu and position the country as a frontrunner in the digital asset space.
The Honourable John Salong Damasing, the Minister of Finance and Economic Management, shared his vision of a future where fintech becomes a strategic pillar of the economy, empowering the local workforce and uplifting the entire community. He emphasized the potential of fintech in generating better career opportunities, stimulating development, and attracting foreign investments.
Robust regulatory framework
The symposium on virtual assets held by the VFSC showcased Vanuatu's determination to embrace the fintech revolution. With a robust regulatory framework and ongoing collaboration among stakeholders, the country is poised to become a key player in the world of virtual assets. Licensees such as Deriv, TMGM, Axi, and Titan FX, along with industry experts, regulators, and politicians, have paved the way for a brighter future in the fintech landscape. As Vanuatu continues to attract virtual asset businesses, it remains steadfast in its commitment to economic growth and development, creating a promising outlook for the nation's financial future.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
