Regulatory and Compliance for Web3, Tech and Investment Companies

A crypto business can only operate if its licensing is aligned with its token model, user flows and revenue mechanics. Digital Lawyers advises on licensing across Europe, the UK, the Middle East and Asia. We prepare the full package required for VASP, CASP, VARA, FCA-registered and MAS-supervised platforms. This includes jurisdiction selection, entity setup, AML frameworks, governance design, risk controls and the internal documentation regulators expect at filing.

We map your business model against MiCA, the EU VASP regime, UK crypto-asset rules, Singapore’s Payment Services Act and VARA licensing in Dubai. You receive a regulatory pathway that fits the project’s structure, the countries you plan to serve and the financial institutions you need for account opening.
A licensing strategy is only effective when it matches how exchanges, payment providers and counterparties evaluate risk. Our work packages follow their standards so you can operate, raise money and scale without regulatory friction. View More

Securities compliance decides whether a token can be issued, listed or distributed in any major market. Digital Lawyers runs a full securities analysis under U.S. federal law, SEC enforcement precedent, the Howey line of cases, state money-transmitter rules, MiFID II, MiCA, UK FCA guidance and relevant Singapore classifications.

We classify the token, set out the consequences and identify any triggers for securities treatment or investment-manager rules. If the model carries securities-like features, we adapt the tokenomics, governance and distribution structure to keep the project within a workable legal perimeter.

Where a security classification cannot be avoided, we structure the offering using recognised exemptions such as Regulation D for U.S. investors and Regulation S for offshore distribution. We also determine whether FinCEN or state money-transmission rules apply, since these obligations can be triggered even when a token is not a security. View More

Digital-asset companies in the EU now fall under DORA and MiCA. Digital Lawyers prepares the complete compliance stack required for operational resilience, IT governance, crypto-asset issuance, exchange operations, custodial services and cross-border passporting.

MiCA requires clear token classification, whitepaper preparation, issuer disclosures, AML procedures, governance reporting and the capital thresholds for each CASP category. DORA introduces mandatory operational-resilience standards, incident reporting, outsourcing controls and IT-security frameworks.
We translate these requirements into concrete actions: governance structures that can pass regulator review, policies that match the supervisory expectations of EU regulators, and documentation that allows you to operate across all EU markets under a single licence.

This gives Web3 and fintech companies a compliance framework that works both for regulators and for institutional partners such as exchanges, custodians, banks and payment processors.
