Pin down the legal side of your global token launch

Figuring out the legal requirements for advertising and executing token launches across multiple jurisdictions can feel daunting. Plus there's all the different stakeholders' legal needs to consider, documents to sign, and entities to set up. Legal Nodes helps structure all of this to get your token launch off to a flying start!

We have received excellent support with registering a token issuance company for VC fundraising and understanding our tax and compliance risks. Our team is now intimately familiar with these matters.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best countries for registering a company for token launch?

There are several jurisdictions with special VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) regimes where you can issue tokens with more regulatory clarity. These jurisdictions include Switzerland, Lichtenstein, the United Arab Emirates, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore and the British Virgin Islands.

Do you work with the specific country where I want to incorporate?

We work with more than 20 crypto-friendly countries including Switzerland, Singapore, Liechtenstein, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Panama. If you donโ€™t see the country youโ€™re interested in, contact us via the form or drop us a message in the website chat, weโ€™re friendly :)

How do you help projects to issue tokens?

We help projects find compliant methods for token release in blockchain ecosystems like Polygon, Cardano, Cosmos, Ripple, and others. Through our platform, we help projects to structure their token issuance including registering a Token SPV company, resolving compliance matters, obtaining licenses, and developing the policies for the private and public token sales.

How much will it cost me to do all the legal works for my token issuance?

Costs depend a lot on things like where you choose to register your Token SPV and what other legal works might be required. For example, some projects might require a Token Legal Opinion, regulatory approvals, and preparing policies for public or private token launches. We understand that not having price estimates can be frustrating, so we usually are able to provide estimates for your projectโ€™s legal needs quite early on, we just need to assess a few of your options first! Learn more about this on our pricing page.

Can you help me understand the best legal structure for my project and my token issuance?

Yes! This is one of the things we do best! For businesses that want to use Legal Nodes to choose the best legal entities and for the legal set-up of their token issuance, we offer subscriptions like our best-selling Growth Plan.
