Two License Types
Mauritius FSC offers two distinct authorizations for token issuance: the ITO License for companies raising capital through token offerings, and the Stablecoin/Digital Asset Issuer License for companies issuing stablecoins, digital yuan, or other pegged digital assets.
ITO License
Covers public offerings of digital tokens. FSC reviews the whitepaper, investor protection mechanisms, and AML/CFT compliance framework. A GBC1 structure is required for the issuing entity. The ITO framework provides regulatory certainty for compliant token fundraising activities.
Stablecoin Issuer License
Covers issuance of stablecoins (USD-pegged, gold-backed, etc.) and digital yuan proxy instruments. Requires significant capital, reserve management infrastructure, and comprehensive compliance framework. This license enables creation and distribution of pegged digital assets with regulatory backing.
