Fintech & Crypto

Fintech and crypto are among our core areas of specialization. We support clients at every stage—from launch to exit, from licensing to IPOs and token sales. Our work combines international regulatory experience (the U.S., the EU, and leading offshore jurisdictions) with a deep understanding of the underlying technology.

Our Specialization

Structuring Crypto Projects and Funds

We develop optimal corporate structures for investors and tech teams, advising on jurisdiction selection, ownership architecture, tax optimization, and compliance. We prepare the full suite of documents, including SAFEs, SAFTs, token warrants, shareholders’ agreements, internal policies, and related materials.

Tokenization and Digital Asset Issuance

We support the launch of utility, governance, and RWA tokens—from concept to exchange listing. Our work includes securities law assessments, legal opinions, regulatory analysis, jurisdictional structuring, and preparation of disclaimers and public sale terms.

Mining Regulation

We assist clients in launching and scaling mining businesses in selected jurisdictions. Our services include obtaining permits and registrations, preparing contractual and corporate documentation, designing compliant tax-efficient models, and ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance.

DeFi and DAO

We develop legal frameworks for decentralized protocols, including DAO governance, treasury structures, staking platforms, and token flows. Our priority is minimizing regulatory and tax risk while maintaining decentralization where needed.

Financial Services and Licensing

We obtain licenses for crypto exchanges, wallets, and payment services. We design KYC/AML, risk management, and compliance procedures aligned with regulatory expectations.

Sanctions Compliance and Cross-Border Payments

We design compliant payment structures for CIS-based clients working with international partners. Our work includes sanctions screening, banking compliance, transaction audits, and preparing checklists and playbooks for communication with banks.

Our Experience

Marketplace for Trading SAFEs and SAFTs

We built a legal framework enabling the platform to operate without a broker-dealer license. We designed KYC/AML processes and prepared the full contractual suite for U.S. and EU investors. The platform now serves international users while remaining compliant, scalable, and resilient.

Crypto Trading Terminal with $950 million in Monthly Volume

We designed the corporate structure and documentation for a crypto trading terminal enabling automated trading on centralized exchanges via API keys. We assessed U.S./EU regulatory implications, incorporated required entities, and prepared contracts for founders, investors, and users. The resulting structure isolates regulatory and operational risks and supports global expansion.

Staking Product in a Non-Custodial Wallet

We advised a market leader on launching a staking product inside a non-custodial wallet. We analyzed FinCEN and SEC positions and confirmed that no money-transmitter registration was required.

Prop Trading Platform

We audited the international structure of a prop trading business with challenges of up to $200,000 per participant, identified EU risks, and proposed compliant operational solutions.

Launchpad and Trading Terminal

We supported the launch of a combined token-launchpad and trading terminal, prepared documentation for two funding rounds, and supported a token listing with a market cap of $43 million.
