CRYPTO MARKET GROWTH AMID RISING SCRUTINY

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization reached nearly $4 trillion in 2025. New instruments and innovations emerge daily, and the industry shows steady growth on par with traditional financial institutions.

But with scale comes scrutiny: regulators, tax authorities, and institutional counterparties are tightening oversight — and high corporate standards are becoming non-negotiable.

We align crypto businesses with new regulations and provide support beyond licensing — ensuring resilience, sustainable growth, and continuous expansion.

LEGAL & COMPLIANCE ECOSYSTEM FOR CRYPTO

From concept to expansion

50% of crypto projects start addressing legal, compliance, and security issues only after launch — and end up resolving problems at a much higher cost. We structure everything before launch — efficiently and systematically.

What clients usually ask us:

  • How can I reduce the tax burden and optimize operating costs in my crypto business?

  • I’ve decided to launch a crypto business in the Czech Republic. What type of license do I need?

  • We are concerned that our current business model may not comply with the upcoming MiCA requirements. How can we anticipate which licenses and procedures we will need, so we don’t have to rebuild everything from scratch?

  • We are launching a crypto service and realize that we need a partner who can build an end-to-end compliance system — from policies and procedures to full audit readiness.

  • We don’t have our own compliance department. Can we outsource MLRO/DPO/AML functions in order to pass regulatory and investor checks?

  • We want to launch a tokenized asset in Europe. How can we do this legally, and which marketing practices are acceptable?
