We support cryptocurrency market players with aligning their operations with the requirements of the EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) Regulation, anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and tax obligations related to the issuance, trading and storage of tokens. We advise Web3 startups, token issuers, platform operators and financial institutions with implementing innovative crypto-based services. We provide comprehensive support for CASP licensing, token issuance and classification, the implementation of AML procedures, the tokenisation of assets, as well as the design of token-based remuneration programmes and tax settlements under PIT, CIT, and VAT.
We guide clients through the entire process of obtaining a crypto-asset service provider licence, from conducting an analysis of the client’s business model to the preparation of documentation and policies, and communication with the supervisory authority. The client receives a ready-to-go, complete licence application and practical guidance on how to safely commence operating on the regulated market.
We advise on the correct classification of tokens and on the assessment of the applicability of the MiCA regulations thereto. We support clients with selecting an appropriate operating model, mitigating regulatory risks and preparing the necessary documentation to enable the legal and safe implementation of a token project.
We prepare the white paper required by the MiCA regulations, taking into account the specifics of the project and the needs of investors. We ensure the preparation of a white paper that complies with the formal requirements and provide support in connection with its submission or publication process – depending on the type of token and the scope of the client’s activities
We advise on asset tokenisation projects so as to ensure that our clients are in compliance with the MiCA and other EU regulations. We assist in designing a legal and operational model for token issuance, ensuring that the project is legally secure and can be implemented in the market.
We assist with the preparation and implementation of internal AML and terrorist financing procedures that comply with AML regulations and the requirements under the MiCA and the TFR. We develop documentation and support the integration of AML processes into the operations of our clients.
We support clients with the fulfilment of their obligations under the EU regulation on information accompanying funds transfers and certain crypto-assets (TFR) – in particular with regard to the identification of senders and recipients of transactions involving crypto-assets. We help you choose the right technological solutions and prepare the necessary compliance documents.
We provide comprehensive legal services to entities operating at the intersection of the crypto-asset market and the requirements under the EU DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) regulations. We support our clients with adapting their operations to the new digital resilience obligations, taking into account the specificities of the cryptocurrency services market, including in respect of exchanges, digital wallets and blockchain technology providers. Our advice includes, among other things, assessing operational and ICT risks, designing incident management policies, supporting compliance audits, and meeting the reporting requirements under DORA.
We also assist with interpreting the converging regulatory requirements of MiCA and DORA, especially in the areas of ICT service security, outsourcing, cloud computing and incident response. Our aim is to ensure that our clients are not only compliant, but also that their operations are transparent and secure; key elements that build trust in the rapidly evolving crypto market. We provide support in the form of ongoing advisory services and assist with the implementation of new operating models, agreements and communications with regulators.
