The crypto industry faces heightened scrutiny. Experienced legal guidance is crucial.
With the SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, and other regulators pressuring the crypto sphere, entrepreneurs can’t afford to overlook legal compliance.
Do things right from the outset and lay a foundation for enduring success.
Securities Law
Anyone developing on the blockchain should be mindful of securities laws; the SEC has been targeting the industry for years now, especially concerning initial coin offerings (ICOs) and DeFi lending products. If you’re launching a token, exchange, wallet, or dApp, be sure to consult with an experienced cryptocurrency lawyer first!
AML and KYC Compliance
The SEC isn’t the only government agency that can target crypto businesses. FinCEN also has stringent requirements related to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. Failing to comply could lead to severe penalties, but our experienced cryptocurrency attorneys can guide you through.
MSB and MTL Licences
Many operators in the crypto industry, from exchanges to traders to Bitcoin ATMs, are considered Money Service Businesses. This type of business may require a federal MSB license, along with a state-issued Money Transmitter License (MTL). A cryptocurrency lawyer can help you determine whether you qualify as an MSB and, if so, assist you in obtaining the necessary licenses. Contact us online or call (847) 580-1279 to get started.
Advertising Compliance
Both the FTC and SEC have the authority to impose hefty fines or even sue your business for unlawful advertising practices. Your company can also be held legally accountable for claims made by affiliate marketers. Our team can review all of your marketing and advertising materials to ensure they comply with the law, helping you avoid legal troubles that could cause your business to falter.
