CASP/VASP сompliance is non-negotiable

Global regulatory landscape for crypto-assets is no longer the Wild West – it's a complex web of evolving frameworks.

MiCA in the EU, DORA’s stringent financial entity rules, VARA in Dubai, BMA in Bermuda, SFC in Hong Kong, and others are imposing critical security controls, mandatory audits, and firm deadlines.

Staying ahead isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about securing your operations, protecting your users, and unlocking market access. Non-compliance isn't an option – it risks licences, reputation, and market viability.
