Cross-Border Legal Support for Crypto & Web3 Expansion
Helping virtual asset businesses expand across jurisdictions with regulatory clarity and strategic compliance.
Overview
The virtual assets industry is inherently global; exchanges, custodians, token issuers, and fintechs rarely operate within just one jurisdiction. But every country has its own rules, regulators, and licensing thresholds. Expanding across borders without legal alignment risks regulatory arbitrage, double taxation, or even enforcement actions.
At CRYPTOVERSE Legal, we help crypto businesses expand globally while staying compliant locally. From the UAE’s five regulators (VARA, SCA, DFSA, FSRA, CBUAE) to the EU (MiCA), Singapore (MAS), Hong Kong (SFC), US (SEC/CFTC/FinCEN), Canada (FINTRAC), Switzerland (FINMA), and offshore hubs, we ensure your legal strategy works seamlessly across borders.
Our Cross-Border Services
Multi-Jurisdiction Licensing Strategy
- Coordinating VASP licence applications in parallel (e.g., VARA + MiCA + MAS).
- Advising on sequencing for global expansion (HQ setup, subsidiaries, passporting).
Cross-Border Legal Opinions
- Token classification across multiple jurisdictions (utility vs. security vs. payment).
- Legal memoranda for investors, exchanges, and regulators.
AML/CTF Harmonisation
- Building AML/CTF frameworks that meet FATF standards while aligning with local laws.
- Travel Rule implementation across multi-regulator jurisdictions.
Group & Holding Structures
- Designing international corporate structures to separate operations, IP, and token issuance.
- Offshore holdings (BVI, Cayman, Seychelles) combined with UAE or EU operations.
Ongoing Regulatory Monitoring
- Tracking evolving laws (e.g., EU AMLA 2027, US stablecoin bill, VARA updates).
- Compliance alerts tailored to your operating footprint.
Why Cross-Border Support Matters
- UAE: Five regulators with overlapping but distinct scopes.
- EU (MiCA): One CASP licence = passporting across 27 Member States.
- Singapore (MAS): Stringent AML/KYC requirements and local director mandates.
- Hong Kong (SFC): Dual licensing regime for trading platforms and custodians.
- US: Fragmented oversight — FinCEN, SEC, and CFTC may all claim jurisdiction.
Cross-border structuring isn’t just about incorporation — it’s about building a legal strategy that scales globally without regulatory blind spots.
