Cayman Islands Become the New Favorite of Web3: The Regulatory Code Behind a 70% Surge in Fund Registrations

2025-12-04 20:00:23

[Coin World] The Cayman Islands have been getting a lot of attention lately.

Here are the numbers: By the end of this year, the number of registered funds is expected to surpass 1,300, a 70% surge year-on-year. Web3 companies and DAOs are flocking here—why? The legal framework is clear, and there’s plenty of operational flexibility. For projects managing large amounts of capital, these two factors are crucial.

Industry lawyers put it simply: projects want both regulatory certainty and operational freedom, and the Cayman Islands deliver on both. But change is coming. The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) will take effect in 2026, so active service providers need to be ready for new disclosure requirements.

This small island is quickly becoming a hot spot for digital asset governance, with increasingly well-defined rules.

A 70% increase sounds unbelievable, but Cayman’s combination of strategies is indeed impressive. They’ve really nailed the balance between compliance and flexibility. The question is, once CARF arrives in 2026, how much longer can these comfortable days last?

This move by Cayman is truly brilliant—combining compliance and flexibility, really knows how to play. But wait, when CARF comes in 2026, will it still be this comfortable? This 70% growth might just be bottom-fishing.

The overachievers have all gone to the Cayman Islands. Fortunately, the framework on this little island is clear, otherwise things would have gotten chaotic a long time ago.

Cayman has really become a tax haven 2.0, 70% growth is just too much, but this wave of benefits probably won’t last long before things tighten up. --- Wait, when CARF comes in 2026, won’t we all have to jump through hoops again? Those who registered early really made a profit. --- All the big money is heading there because of that “flexibility.” I totally get the regulatory shell game. --- Don’t be blinded by the growth numbers. Be careful—the next wave of rug pulls might just be in Cayman-registered funds. --- Compliance + freedom sounds great, but as the rules become more established, it just means—the window of opportunity isn’t going to last much longer, right?
