Overview

A crypto business that accepts and transmits value can trigger federal MSB obligations and state money-transmitter licensing, depending on the precise model and jurisdictions served.

Coutts Consultants coordinates us crypto money transmitter & msb licensing coordination as a defined US professional-services engagement.

The first stage is to identify the relevant federal and state position and review wallet/custody model, exchange/transmission activity, flow of funds, customer states, FinCEN status, AML and state licensing. We then establish the correct filing, tax, licensing or professional route, prepare a tailored evidence list and coordinate the work with the appropriate authority or US specialist.

Because US entity, tax, securities, immigration, banking and licensing rules can vary materially by state and by client profile, the service is scoped around the actual business rather than presented as a one-size-fits-all package. Reserved legal, tax, immigration, securities or other regulated work is undertaken by appropriately qualified US professionals, and all approvals remain with the relevant authority or provider.
