The Global Rulebook at a Glance

Between the Howey test, commodity oversight, and state money transmission laws, US rules can feel like overlapping waves. Smart teams map token functions to case law, log intent in public docs, and engage early with counsel. Share your US challenges in the comments.

MiCA delivers a comprehensive framework covering issuance, stablecoins, and service providers. It rewards preparation: white papers, governance, incident reporting, and capital. If you plan EU expansion, subscribe for our upcoming MiCA checklist and launch-time stories.

KYC/AML Essentials Without Losing the Soul of UX

Right-sizing KYC for risk and product stage

Design tiered verification that grows with product risk: light checks for low limits, enhanced due diligence for advanced features. Be transparent about why you ask for data. Want sample flows and copy that users appreciate? Subscribe for our playbook drop.

Travel Rule implementation that actually works

Interoperability matters more than theory. Choose providers that cover your corridors, log fallback logic, and explain delays when counterparties lack data. We once reduced user frustration 40% by messaging status clearly. Share your Travel Rule wins and headaches.

Sanctions screening and ongoing monitoring that scale

Automate screening at onboarding and on each material change. Monitor transactions for risky patterns, not just names. Pair models with human review to avoid unfair blocks. Curious which red flags matter most for your product? Ask, and we’ll tailor guidance.

Licensing Paths and When They Apply

MSB, VASP, or something else entirely?

Map activities to regulatory triggers: exchange, custody, transfer, or issuance. Labels differ, but substance rules. Document your activity matrix and keep it updated as features evolve. Need a lightweight worksheet to start? Comment, and we’ll send our template.

Custody considerations and trust charters

Custody invites higher standards: segregation, access controls, insurance, and independent reviews. Some teams pursue trust charters for credibility and scope. We’ve seen due diligence time drop when controls are crystal clear. Want a control catalog? Subscribe today.

Stablecoins, Reserves, and Market Integrity

Clear, frequent disclosures build trust: assets, maturities, custodians, and concentration limits. Independent attestations reduce rumor risk. When a project we advised shortened disclosure cycles, support tickets dropped dramatically. Want our disclosure checklist? Join the newsletter.

Stablecoins, Reserves, and Market Integrity

Spell out redemption windows, fees, and exceptions in plain language. Stress-test liquidity with real scenarios, not idealized math. Users remember redemption speed more than slogans. Share your stablecoin expectations—what would make you switch providers today?

DeFi, DAOs, and the Compliance Grey Zone

Even if contracts are permissionless, interfaces can implement warnings, disclosures, and jurisdictional blocks. We saw a project reduce risky clicks 32% by reordering prompts. Should we publish interface patterns that regulators appreciate? Vote in our next poll.

DeFi, DAOs, and the Compliance Grey Zone

Clarify what proposals change risk, require quorum, or trigger audits. Publish voting rationales. When a DAO we follow added post-vote reviews, participation rose meaningfully. Want a governance checklist aligned with regulatory expectations? Subscribe for the DAO pack.

DeFi, DAOs, and the Compliance Grey Zone

Data sources and execution slippage can create consumer harm. Document oracle choices, failover logic, and MEV-aware protections. Proactive transparency beats reactive defense. Tell us which DeFi risks worry you most, and we’ll prioritize deep dives accordingly.

Token Classification and Disclosures That Build Trust

Map token rights—profit expectation, managerial efforts, consumptive use—against established tests. If you change token functionality, update your analysis. We’ve watched teams avoid trouble by documenting intent early. Need a structured worksheet? Ask and we’ll share.

Operational Roadmap, Culture, and Continuous Improvement

Start with a risk assessment, define controls, ship small, and iterate. Track incidents as learning moments, not embarrassments. Leaders who celebrate fixes create safer teams. Want our quarterly control review cadence? Subscribe and get the calendar invite template.

Operational Roadmap, Culture, and Continuous Improvement

Replace slide dumps with scenarios from your app: suspicious signups, edge-case withdrawals, and disclosure reviews. We once ran a tabletop that surfaced a blind spot before launch. Share your training wins, and we’ll feature the best ideas next week.
