Regulation, licences and registrations for crypto businesses
Regulatory and licensing consulting for crypto businesses launching a project or entering new markets. We review your activities, structure and target countries to identify the requirements, registrations and authorisations that may apply.
I support the assessment and preparation of your project, including MSB registration in Canada with FINTRAC and MSB registration in the United States with FinCEN. Each jurisdiction requires its own assessment: these registrations do not amount to a universal licence to operate.
Who is this for?
For crypto businesses, fintechs and Web3 projects designing a product, preparing a launch or expanding internationally. We review needs in Colombia, Spain and the European framework where applicable, as well as MSB registration projects in Canada and the United States. The scope and need for local professionals are defined according to the jurisdiction.
How I can help
Business model analysis
We review what the project does, for whom, in which countries and with what flows of assets or funds before determining its regulatory position.
Obligations and authorisations
We assess the permits, registrations, requirements and authorities that may apply. In Europe, we consider MiCA or other frameworks according to the asset and service.
Preparation plan
We identify the documentation, organisation and resources to prepare. Support for a specific application is defined in a separate engagement.
Expansion and changes in activity
We analyse how a new service or market affects the project’s obligations, without assuming that one authorisation automatically covers every activity or country.

A European authorisation should not be assumed to permit activities in Colombia. Each market requires its own analysis of the product, services and applicable obligations.
No. The decision rests with the competent authority and depends on the application and fulfilment of the requirements. Legal work can help identify requirements, prepare documentation and address comments within the agreed scope.
No. The initial 60-minute assessment helps us understand the project and define regulatory priorities. Preparing and processing applications and documents, and subsequent support, requires a specific quote.
