Why are blockchain and Web3 companies setting up in the Cayman Islands?

In this interview, Charlie Kirkconnell, CEO at Cayman Enterprise City, explains Cayman’s appeal for tech, crypto, and digital asset businesses. He discusses regulatory certainty, a stable government, a tax-neutral environment, and why Cayman has become a serious jurisdiction for companies building in Web3.

The conversation also explores how the ICO boom of 2017 brought more blockchain projects to Cayman, how existing financial services laws helped support the sector, and why physical presence and economic substance matter for international companies.

This episode is ideal for founders, investors, and operators interested in blockchain regulation, crypto-friendly jurisdictions, fintech expansion, offshore business strategy, and the future of Web3 infrastructure.
