frequently asked questions

Why does a crypto business need a license?

The license ensures legal operation, access to banking services and protection from regulatory risks. It increases the trust of users and partners, opening up opportunities for international cooperation.

How long does it take to get a license?

The timeframe depends on the jurisdiction and type of license: on average from 2 to 12 months. The fastest licenses are issued in offshore zones (Seychelles, BVI), longer - in large regulated centers (UAE, Singapore).

What documents do I need to apply?

The list of required documents varies greatly depending on the jurisdiction and the specifics of the project to be launched. As a rule, information on the owners and ultimate beneficiaries, a description of the business model and/or business plan, documents demonstrating sources of financing, AML policy, but not only.

Do AML/KYC procedures need to be followed?

Yes, most jurisdictions require crypto businesses to implement AML/KYC procedures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Requirements vary by country and license type.

Do DeFi / NFT projects need licenses?

It all depends on the approach of a particular jurisdiction. In some jurisdictions, you may not even need a specialized business license and it will be enough to pick some related activity from the list of permitted activities, while in some jurisdictions you will have to look for an activity directly designed for this type of activity and even obtain a full-fledged crypto license for a virtual asset provider (VASP).

What to do if the regulator has denied a license?

It is necessary to clarify the reasons for the rejection, correct the documents and reapply. In some cases it is better to choose another jurisdiction or adapt the business model to the requirements of the regulator.
