This achievement underscores both Matrixport’s pioneering role in regulated digital finance and Gelephu Mindfulness City’s (“GMC”) emergence as a new global hub for next-generation financial innovation.
Expanding Regulated Digital Asset Services

– Structured Products tailored for global investors
– Real-World Asset (RWA) offerings linking traditional markets with digital finance

Commitment to Local Talent and Growth
As part of its expansion strategy, Matrixport will recruit and train Bhutanese professionals, integrating them into its GMC operations. By combining international expertise with local talent development, Matrixport aims to foster knowledge transfer, capacity-building, and long-term economic benefits for Bhutan.
John Ge, CEO of Matrixport, said: “Securing an FSL in GMC is both a privilege and a responsibility. We see Bhutan and Gelephu as a strategic base for innovation, compliance, and regional growth. Matrixport is committed to contributing to GMC’s vision of becoming a globally trusted financial and technology hub, while also nurturing Bhutanese talent as part of our team.”
HB Lim, Managing Director (Financial Services) at GMCA, commented: “The GMCA congratulates Matrixport on receiving its FSL to operate as a regulated financial services company. Matrixport’s expansion demonstrates the immense opportunities offered by GMC to serve the region with next-generation virtual asset financial services. Its commitment to hiring and mentoring Bhutanese talent aligns with GMC’s mission to create jobs, transfer skills, and develop future leaders in Bhutan’s financial services sector.”
A Shared Vision for the Future of Finance
Looking ahead, Matrixport plans to establish dedicated GMC offices, expand its regulated offerings, and play a central role in building a resilient digital financial ecosystem that benefits not only Bhutan but also the wider South Asia region.
This partnership between Matrixport and GMC symbolizes a new chapter in global digital finance—where regulatory clarity, technological innovation, and inclusivity converge to create sustainable economic growth.
