Digital Assets Consulting

We explain the regulatory framework for digital assets and help prepare processes, documentation and controls. Advisory only.

Framework, risk and compliance

  • Framework
  • AML/CFT
  • KYC
  • Due diligence

The problem

Some companies touch digital assets without knowing which regime they fall under, and others avoid the subject for fear of a regime that does not actually apply to them. Both cost money: the first in fines and closed bank accounts, the second in opportunities left on the table.

How we approach it

We start with the question that matters: what exactly does the company do, and what is the legal qualification of that activity. From there we map the applicable obligations, the missing controls and the documentation a bank or payment service provider will ask for. We do not advise on investments, do not manage portfolios and do not intermediate transactions.

How it runs

Closed phases,
one at a time.

  1. 01

    Qualification

    What the company does, in legal rather than commercial terms.

  2. 02

    Obligations

    What the law requires in that specific framework — and what it does not.

  3. 03

    Gaps

    The distance between what exists and what is required, ranked by risk.

  4. 04

    File

    Documentation organised to withstand a due diligence request.
