Legal assistance for a security token offering (STO)
Cryptocurrencies and tokens that legally qualify as securities are legal to issue and manage, under certain circumstances and within certain specific jurisdictions. Issuing unregulated securities is a severely punishable financial crime all over the world.

Registering a legal entity for your security token offering is a legal and moral obligation, to protect your team and yourself from liability and sanctions.

Though the name “security” can be scary for most, Rengang’s clients have been underwriting securities backed by diverse assets, including crypto, for years. The legal consideration of these securities isn’t necessarily complex or as costly as one may think. In the case of a security token, there are even fewer frictions, as the token is offered directly by the issue and/or through partner exchanges.

Contact Rengang for additional information and guidance for the safe conduct of your STO.

Legal assistance in issuing tokens backed by real world assets
The tokenization of real world assets (RWA) is a critical, major upcoming trend in the blockchain industry. More and more promising projects are being announced, as RWA tokenization braces itself to take over the world.

As a whole new type of crypto activity, the law is far from being settled in stone yet. Some jurisdictions talk about considering the tokenization of assets as securities, while others argue that it is not possible, provided the value is relative to the underlying asset and the token isn’t necessarily traded on exchanges or over-the-counter (OTC).

The legal aspects of the tokenization of physical goods are a difficult zone to navigate. Hopefully, Rengang’s legal team has worked hard in designing solutions, adaptable to the moving regulatory landscape. Enquire now to our specialists for more information.

Banking solutions for crypto licensed companies
Since 2017 and the first crypto licenses, banking has been at the core of many crypto exchange licensed companies and other business actors of the blockchain industry. Opening a bank account is notoriously hard for crypto companies, provided the classification of the sector as being very volatile and risky by banks. Some may even argue that banks see cryptocurrency as competition, further complicating the situation.

We assist in opening dedicated accounts for business accounts tailored to companies operating in the digital asset economy, such as cryptocurrency exchanges and funds. Services cover a wide range of currencies, and our banking partners pride themselves on offering a personalized and attentive approach.

Clients have direct access to a team of professionals specializing in operations, trading, technology, and account management.

Legal documents for cryptocurrency companies
Crypto companies need legal documents to comply with regulations and to limit liability. Whatever your business model, especially in the case of an innovative project that doesn’t fit into the categories listed above, the worldwide legal concerns around cryptocurrency mean that you better be prepared.

Crypto legal documents can range from the mandatory policies, procedures, and manuals for compliance purposes, to the more technical legal analysis of your business model or token. In the case of an ICO or other sort of token launch, legal documents ensure that you are legally operating the sale of a token that is authorized to be held and sold by citizens of the relevant jurisdictions.

No matter if we speak about SAFT/E, Legal Opinions, or AML/KYC files, we are able to prepare your crypto legal documents in due form.

Setting up a crypto company in an offshore jurisdiction
An offshore legal entity for your crypto company can be very beneficial for its operation. The cost and the corporate conditions (requirements and taxation) may better fit certain projects. As for any financial services, offshore jurisdictions are a noteworthy option for crypto businesses to form their operation. Especially in a digitized world.

Offshore jurisdictions have quickly become popular among big crypto projects, as they provide them with facilitating regulations, banking services, and, of course, very advantageous taxation conditions.

Our team of crypto specialists also has long-standing experience with offshore company registration. Our experts can guide you to the most suitable jurisdiction for you. Start a conversation and receive guidance within 24 hours.

Timeline to get a crypto license
The duration to form a crypto company and/or get a crypto license also depends on a few factors:

The time needed to provide all the necessary documents and information,
The time needed by the regulator to process the application,
Possible back-and-forths, interviews, requests for clarification, or edits.
This question is critical and should be discussed with an expert as early as possible, given that,

The frameworks are changing every year,
The timespan from zero to a licensed company with a corporate account can be significant, depending on the jurisdiction.
There lies all the importance of having a roadmap, long ahead of the actual beginning of the incorporation and licensing process. Of course, last-minute requests can be addressed with specific solutions and with ready-made crypto companies available for purchase. But time is critical and Rengang advises all its readers to plan ahead. Our consulting team will be honored to assist you in this endeavor.

Legal authorization to target certain countries with a crypto license
In spite of globalization and the apparent universality of the internet, especially at the dawn of Web3, there are still frontiers. Physical, but also legal. This means that certain countries have specific regulations that need to be met by foreign crypto businesses willing to provide services to their citizens.

If you are located in Continent A and willing to serve people living in Continent B, would a crypto license in Continent C make sense?

This question is particularly hot in the European Union, with the new MiCA regulation (Markets in Crypto Assets) that implemented officially the passporting of crypto licenses. Practically speaking, a crypto license in a European jurisdiction most likely allows a crypto company to serve clients from the entire Union, and beyond.

This aspect is better addressed with a dedicated specialist. Our team is staying on the sharp edge of national and supranational regulations in order to provide you with up-to-date, accurate services that allow you to get to business in your target market.

Permitted activities by a crypto license
Insiders of the cryptocurrency industry know that activities and services vary significantly. Different actors are playing different roles in the ecosystem. Therefore, an exchange platform has nothing to do in terms of organization and operations with an NFT marketplace or an Oracle protocol.

The services you provide and the crypto activity you undergo are defining elements. Not all crypto licenses are properly covering all sorts of activities. Most crypto licenses are specifically targeted at centralized crypto exchanges (CEX), with some of them having provisions that fit other related activities.

Knowing which jurisdiction has the proper legal framework to allow you to operate hands-free, without unnecessary requirements or expectations from the law, is critical to avoid potential slowdowns of your project.

Opening a bank account for a crypto company with a license
One of the principal benefits of securing a crypto license is that it demonstrates trustworthiness to third parties. Including banking institutions. As crypto activities are regularly classified as high-risk by financial institutions, a lot of projects are facing rebuttals by the banks.

This is a solid barrier to entering the market and commencing operations for many projects. Not being able to open a company bank account for corporate expenses and for processing clients' funds is very limiting.

Rengang is very familiar with the issue. We hear such stories every week. Hopefully, we can assist with confidence. Our team can assist you in getting a cost-effective crypto license and subsequently opening a bank account, which is so critical for your business operations.

Future crypto licenses and evolving regulations
The legal framework of crypto of 2025 is wildly different than what it was 5 years ago and has nothing to do with what it was 10 years ago. Though things are maturing and bigger crypto regulatory frameworks are being sorted out, such as VARA or MiCA, the licensing of crypto activities remains a dynamic topic.

When our consultants analyze your project, this is one of the main things they have in mind. Not staying short-sighted, the Rengang team is conducting constant strategic analyses of the global legal environment in order to advise our clients on a long-term vision.

Is a cheap crypto license a good choice if it will be overhauled within a few months? What good is a reputable jurisdiction if the country is facing geopolitical trouble? The assistance of our experts will help you avoid many potential traps lying down the road, as getting a crypto license is only the beginning of your business journey.
