Nauru Regulates Crypto with a New Dedicated Regulator

Nauru, a micro island nation in the Pacific Ocean, has become the latest to pass legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies by forming a dedicated virtual asset regulatory authority.

A Dedicated Regulator for Crypto

The bill, passed by Nauru’s parliament earlier this week, establishes the Command Ridge Virtual Asset Authority (CRVAA), named after the island’s highest point. The regulator will oversee virtual assets, digital banking, and Web3 innovation.

Furthermore, cryptocurrency companies can obtain licences as virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and offer services globally with Nauru as their base. The licence will allow companies to run exchanges, provide custodial services, issue tokens, and even circulate stablecoins.

The island is positioning itself as one of the offshore jurisdictions for crypto companies.

“The licensing framework… ensures Nauru becomes a competitor, attracting businesses that bring investment, job creation, and financial innovation,” said Nauru President David Adeang.

“By regulating VASPs, token issuance, and secure digital transactions, we can position Nauru as a hub for these types of innovation and development within this part of the world.”

Meanwhile, other offshore nations are also paving the way for crypto companies with regulatory frameworks. Earlier this year, Vanuatu’s parliament passed legislation defining digital assets. The Cayman Islands also mandated that entities offering crypto custody or trading services must have licences.

Nauru also clarified that cryptocurrencies are commodities and not securities.

Nauru to “Fortify Economic Resilience”

Once one of the wealthiest countries in terms of per capita GDP, Nauru is now struggling economically. With an area of 21 square kilometres and a population of roughly 12,500 people, the island does not have any prospering industries. It also relies on imports for basic needs, as the heavily mined interiors of the country are not suitable for agriculture.

“This bold step aims to harness the potential of virtual assets to diversify revenue streams and fortify economic resilience,” the President added.

“By implementing robust oversight of VASPs, Nauru aims to foster sustainable growth, channel new financial inflows into strategic instruments such as its Intergenerational Trust Fund, and reduce its reliance on climate financing, which is often challenging to secure.”

Interestingly, economically struggling Nauru had earlier attracted the attention of crypto moguls. The brother of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried once floated a plan to buy the island and build a doomsday bunker. However, his plans did not materialise.
