We review the actual business and its obligations; the corporate form does not replace that assessment.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Is every cryptocurrency project an MSB?<\/summary><p>That should not be assumed. The activities, the role of the business in transactions and the applicable rules must be assessed. The initial assessment helps identify the regulatory position and matters requiring further review.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Do you guarantee registration, licences or a bank account?<\/summary><p>No. Decisions by authorities and financial institutions are outside the consultant's control.
