Crypto Legal Opinion · Ljubljana
The crypto legal opinion that gets your token listed.
// analyse · classify · accepted.
Has a regulated exchange asked for a legal opinion confirming your token was fully analysed before listing? Or do you need an opinion required under MiCA? We deliver it — reasoned, classified and accepted.
Binance · KuCoin · Bittrex · HitBTC · MEXC · OKX
An exchange or regulator asked for an opinion. We write the one they accept.
From your project, token sale and tokenomics, we give a reasoned view on whether the token qualifies as a security, a utility token, e-money or an (un)regulated financial instrument — the classification that determines what you can do next.
Required to list
Centralized exchanges require a legal opinion before they list a utility token or meme coin.
Required to license
Competent authorities may request an opinion within the process of obtaining crypto licences.
Required under MiCA
Issuers targeting EU investors are required to provide a legal opinion under MiCA.
Three steps from tokenomics to a signed opinion.
