GI — Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, commanding the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. The Rock of Gibraltar is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Gibraltar has become a significant hub for online gambling, fintech, and blockchain companies due to its favorable regulatory framework. The Gibraltar Pound (GIP) is pegged at par with the British Pound, and both currencies circulate. For developers, the GI country code and .gi domain are increasingly important in fintech and iGaming. The +350 dialing code serves Gibraltar. The en-GI locale handles Gibraltarian English. Gibraltar's post-Brexit status has created complex regulatory considerations — it's no longer part of the EU but maintains close ties. Gibraltar's progressive cryptocurrency and blockchain regulation (DLT framework) has attracted many Web3 companies, making the GI jurisdiction code common in blockchain and fintech applications. The territory's small size but outsized financial and gaming sectors make it disproportionately important.
