Eagle AI Labs: Navigating Regulatory Compliance for Token Launch

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Eagle AI Labs is a cutting-edge platform that utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze and predict prices for various digital assets. As they prepared to launch a token for research and fundraising, Eagle AI Labs sought expert guidance to help them make informed decisions about how best to meet regulatory compliance obligations.

Eagle AI Labs’s search for the ideal jurisdiction led them to consider multiple options, with a particular focus on Switzerland and Lithuania due to their crypto-friendly regulations. However, they remained open to exploring other potential locations that could offer favorable conditions for their digital asset operations. After looking online for potential service providers, they found Legal Nodes. Here’s how we helped the Eagle AI Labs team with their project.

Challenges and concerns

A key factor that connected all of Eagle AI Labs’s challenges was the need for a global perspective on all their options and risks. Finding global legal intelligence that helped Eagle AI find a holistic way forward was the first step that they wanted to take before tackling anything in particular. After that, Eagle AI Labs wanted to focus on choosing a country for registration and had questions around:

  • Regulatory clarity for token launches and digital asset operations
  • Favorable tax implications for crypto-related businesses
  • Ease of obtaining necessary licenses, such as VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) authorizations
  • Access to a robust financial ecosystem and potential investors

Along with the queries over company registration, Eagle AI Labs also needed specialized legal assistance to navigate the intricacies of international crypto regulations and find the most suitable jurisdiction for their innovative platform. Specifically, they required help with:

  • Developing a legal framework for token launch
  • Structuring fundraising efforts legally
  • Obtaining necessary authorizations and legal opinions

Finding solutions with Legal Nodes

Legal Nodes provided comprehensive support to address all of Eagle AI Labs’ legal and compliance needs. Our team began by listening to the team’s goals, concerns, and vision for their project. We then conducted a thorough analysis, considering:

  • Best-case scenarios: Optimal jurisdictions for token launches and favorable regulatory environments
  • Necessary considerations: Potential legal pitfalls and compliance risks in various jurisdictions
