    Obtaining a crypto license

    We provide legal support in the process of obtaining crypto licenses. These licenses entail the right to exchange fiat money for cryptocurrencies and vice versa, exchange one cryptocurrency for another, as well as storing client assets. Our assistance is based on years of experience in supporting cryptocurrency projects at all stages, from business launch to ongoing operations.

    The timeline for obtaining a license depends on the jurisdiction and can range from 3 to 12 months. It is worth mentioning that there are certain jurisdictions where operating a cryptocurrency exchange is permitted without the need for a specific license. In such jurisdictions, it is possible to set up a crypto company within a few weeks.

    We can assist you in selecting the most suitable jurisdiction for your business model, taking into account your budget expectations, desired customer geography, tax and reporting preferences, as well as the desired level of license prestige.

    As part of the process of obtaining a crypto license, we can provide turnkey services that include jurisdiction selection, company registration, opening bank and merchant accounts, assistance in hiring local personnel, contractual legal support for your business, policy drafting, and finding partners to ensure liquidity and IT solutions.
