Bhutan’s Gyalop Mindful City Launches Express Licensing Channel for Crypto Enterprises

According to The Block, the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Mindful City (GMC) in Bhutan’s Special Administrative Region has officially launched its Accelerated Licensing Program for globally regulated digital asset enterprises. Companies holding licenses from major financial centers—such as Singapore, Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), and Hong Kong—can benefit from an integrated regulatory approval and bank account opening process, significantly shortening time-to-market and gaining direct access to corporate bank accounts via DK Bank. On taxation, GMC offers zero corporate tax (for priority sectors), zero capital gains tax, zero dividend tax, and zero inheritance tax. Foreign-investment tax exemptions remain in effect until 2030.
