Licensed. Banked. Reportable. Production-grade.
VASP licensing, custody architecture, treasury structuring and DAC8 / CARF readiness. For operators who need to be live, not aspirational.
The era of structurally-grey crypto is over. The window for properly-structured crypto is wide open.
Between MiCA, DAC8, CARF, the US state MTL patchwork and the maturing of VARA, FINMA, MAS and CIMA, every crypto operator now sits inside someone's regulatory perimeter. The question is which perimeter, and how to structure for it. We work with crypto-native operators, hybrid fintechs and traditional finance entrants on the licensing, banking, custody and reporting architecture that lets a digital-asset business operate at institutional standard.
The four questions every operator faces.
Which licence regime fits the business?
VARA in Dubai. MFSA crypto in Malta under MiCA. FINMA in Switzerland. CIMA VASP in Cayman. SFC VATP in Hong Kong. MAS in Singapore. We model the regulator-fit before any application is filed.
Where does the structure bank?
The licence is only useful if the entity can move money. We pre-qualify the structure against our five-bank crypto-friendly panel and twelve crypto-handling PSPs before the application is submitted.
What does the custody architecture look like?
Hot, warm and cold custody. Single-sig vs MPC vs multi-party. Self-custody vs qualified-custodian model. We design the architecture and the operating runbook, not just the legal wrapper.
Are we ready for DAC8, CARF and MiCA reporting?
Mapped against the actual data points each regime requires, not the slide-deck summary. We build the reporting layer alongside the structure.
