Forex & brokerage

Example: NFT & Web3 marketplace for a crypto business in Larnaca

Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on deposit-to-trade conversion, withdrawal processing time and share of assets in cold custody.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a NFT & Web3 marketplace
Before launch in Cyprus, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Cyprus customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Cyprus.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with CySEC applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for a NFT & Web3 marketplace in Cyprus
For clients in Cyprus we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising your NFT & Web3 marketplace for Cyprus
Business in Cyprus is mainly conducted in Greek and English. We build interfaces, notifications and documents ready for those languages, format dates, numbers and EUR amounts the local way, and plan releases around the EET working day.
