Tokenization & Web3 Structuring — Legal Clarity for Innovation
Helping businesses tokenize assets, launch tokens, and build Web3 projects within compliant regulatory frameworks.
Overview
Tokenization is reshaping how businesses raise capital, manage assets, and engage communities. From stablecoins and utility tokens to tokenized real estate, NFTs, and DeFi platforms, regulators now demand clear structures and compliant documentation.
In Dubai, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) governs token issuance, while the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) supervises federal crypto activities. Globally, the EU (MiCA), Singapore (MAS), and Hong Kong (SFC) provide frameworks that distinguish between utility tokens, stablecoins, investment tokens, and NFTs.
At CRYPTOVERSE Legal, we design token structuring strategies that balance innovation with regulatory certainty, giving you the freedom to innovate while reducing legal risk.
Our Tokenization & Web3 Services
We advise across the full token lifecycle:
Token Classification & Regulatory Mapping
- Utility vs. Security vs. Payment vs. Hybrid Tokens
- NFT classification under MiCA (substance-over-form test)
- Token legal opinions & jurisdictional risk assessments
Whitepaper & Documentation Advisory
- Drafting and reviewing whitepapers for compliance with VARA, SCA, MiCA, and MAS requirements
- Ensuring disclosures are clear, fair, and not misleading
- Including risk factors, tokenomics, governance, and redemption rights
Tokenized Assets & Stablecoins
- Real-world asset tokenization (real estate, commodities, funds etc.)
- Stablecoin issuance — CBUAE Payment Token Services regulation, MiCA EMT framework
- Custody, reserves, and redemption mechanics
Why Token Structuring Matters
- UAE: VARA requires pre-approved whitepapers and prohibits anonymity-enhanced cryptocurrencies. SCA regulates token issuance outside VARA/DFSA/FSRA.
- EU (MiCA): ARTs and EMTs require authorisation, reserves, and redemption rights; NFTs regulated if not truly unique.
- Singapore (MAS): Tokens offering payment functionality regulated under the Payment Services Act.
- Hong Kong (SFC): Tokenised securities fall under existing securities law; trading platforms require dual approval.
Without proper structuring, projects risk being reclassified as unlicensed securities offerings, leading to fines, bans, or investor claims.
