Frequently asked questions

What is regulatory advisory in crypto?

It is expert guidance that helps digital-asset businesses identify which regulations apply, obtain the right licenses, and build compliance frameworks to operate legally.

Why do crypto businesses need licensing?

Many crypto activities — like operating an exchange or custody service — require licenses; operating without them can lead to enforcement, fines, or shutdown.

How does token classification affect compliance?

Whether a token is treated as a security, commodity, payment, or utility determines which rules apply, so classification is a key first step in a compliance strategy.

Does crypto regulation differ by country?

Yes. Requirements vary significantly across jurisdictions, so businesses operating internationally need a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction licensing and compliance strategy.
