Comprehensive Crypto Fund Formation
Fund Structure & Formation
We form crypto-focused funds, from straightforward onshore Delaware structures to master-feeder structures using BVI entities for smaller or cost-sensitive funds and Cayman entities for larger or institutional funds. We draft all core fund documents (PPM, LPA, subscription agreements), handle regulatory filings (Form D, blue-sky), and engage and coordinate with offshore counsel on forming offshore entities and reviewing related documents.
Regulatory & Compliance Expertise
We advise on token classification under the Howey test, SEC and CFTC exemptions, and AML/KYC frameworks. We have structured fiat- and crypto-denominated funds, including BTC- and ETH-denominated vehicles, and developed custody and valuation policies tailored to digital assets. We also assist clients with SAFE and SAFT instruments for token-based fundraising.
