Critical Advice on Cryptocurrency, Digital Assets, and Blockchain

The cryptocurrency, digital assets and blockchain environment is emerging swiftly. Most regulatory efforts to date have focused on the application of securities, financial, and anti-money laundering regulations to virtual assets and crypto-related activities. This de facto prioritization is both a factor of the importance of the policy objectives underpinning these regulations (consumer protection, financial stability, the fight against illicit activities), as well as the fact that many digital assets and crypto-related activities fall within the purview of existing regulations in these areas.

Investors, project sponsors, and developers increasingly rely on Curtis to advise on the application of existing regulations and laws, management of risk and adherence to best practices, and on the rapidly evolving regulatory environment.

We draw from our diverse backgrounds to help clients in the various stages of the crypto lifecycle including coin and token structuring and offering, fundraising and fund formation, financial regulation and registration, asset-backed digital assets, technology licensing and development, regulatory compliance and enforcement, crypto-related litigation, and digital assets exchanges and trading.
