We are able to advise on:
· determining whether an instrument / asset is a security, e-money token; exchange token; utility token; non-fungible token (NFT); and / or stablecoin;
· the regulatory treatment of the security / token and any related exemptions – as well as potential modifications to a crypto project that may take it outside of the regulatory perimeter;
· the regulatory regime applying to the marketing of crypto-assets;
· the regulation applying to Security Token Offerings and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs);
· decentralized finance (DeFi) networks, protocols and strategies;
· smart contracts and token governance structures such as Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs);
· tokenization of physical assets;
· drafting of the terms of business for a crypto-exchange;
· whether relevant crypto-activities are being carried on in the UK;
