A crypto business without a proper legal structure survives until its first serious bank compliance review or regulator inquiry. We design and build structures for exchanges, OTC desks, token projects and mining operations — from jurisdiction selection to working bank accounts and AML frameworks.
What structuring includes
- Business model analysis: which activities you actually perform — exchange, custody, brokerage, token issuance — and how each is regulated;
- Jurisdiction strategy: UAE (VARA/ADGM), EU under MiCA, Kazakhstan AIFC, Hong Kong, El Salvador — compared against your clients, banking needs and capital requirements;
- Corporate architecture: operating companies, holding, IP entity, founder protection;
- Licensing: VASP/CASP applications, regulator communication, fit-and-proper files;
- AML/KYC framework: policies, compliance officer, transaction monitoring, Travel Rule;
- Banking: account opening strategy and source-of-funds files that pass compliance;
- Tax model: corporate taxation per jurisdiction plus CFC exposure of the founders.
Process and timeline
Diagnostics (2–3 days) → structure blueprint with costs and timeline (up to 7 days) → implementation (from 3 weeks depending on jurisdictions). You get a structure that banks, exchanges and investors accept. Describe your project — we will propose 2–3 viable setups with budgets.
