Could you elaborate on who specifically requires a
cryptocurrency license in the British Virgin Islands (BVI)? Is it only cryptocurrency exchanges or do wallet providers, miners, and other related businesses also need to obtain a license? Are there any specific criteria or thresholds that determine whether a business falls under the regulatory umbrella of requiring a crypto license in BVI? Additionally, are there any exemptions for small-scale or start-up operations in the crypto space? Clarifying these points would help businesses operating in or considering expansion to the BVI understand their compliance obligations in the crypto industry.
