As cryptocurrency expands globally, a lack of clarity from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has made the regulatory framework difficult to comprehend, and at times, ambiguous.

The SEC currently classifies cryptocurrency as a security. The Treasury has classified crypto as a currency. The IRS views cryptocurrency as property for taxation purposes.

As the world continues with the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency, there will be discrepancies and varying approaches to regulation. As such, cryptocurrency will be taxed and treated differently.

Our team of attorneys continuously monitors the United States’ position on crypto and what the regulatory framework will be moving forward. Get in touch to speak with our experts to help you the dynamic and multi-faceted nature of this emerging technology to ensure regulatory compliance, minimizing your risk.

Our legal experts help in the buying and selling of cryptocurrency, or any digital assets. The SEC has definitions and designations for what constitutes a broker and dealer, many of which the sales of tokens or digital assets fall under.

Our team guides clients through the process of ensuring they are properly registered as a broker with the SEC, and any additional requirements (such as joining a self-regulatory organization).

Global Legal’s services include: regulatory compliance of a broker-dealer (risk compliance, reporting), preparation of FINRA application, registration as a broker/dealer, supervisory procedures, and guidance of AML policies and procedures.
