This includes assessing whether a business model falls within the scope of regulated crypto-asset services, whether a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) licence or notification is required, and how a business should be structured from a regulatory perspective. Watsonlaw also advises on MiCA license processes, governance and compliance frameworks, white paper-related issues, and the implementation of ongoing regulatory obligations. <a href=\"https:\/\/watsonlaw.nl\/en\/expertises\/fintech\/crypto\/services\/\">Read more about crypto-asset services<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Issuing crypto-assets:<\/strong> Watsonlaw advises issuers on the regulatory framework applicable to the offering of crypto-assets and the admission of crypto-assets to trading. This includes the legal qualification of crypto-assets, the preparation and review of crypto-asset white papers, and the assessment of whether exemptions or other regulatory considerations apply.

But the EC\u2019s proposal also aims to address certain issues that it sees as hindering the EU crypto-asset sector.
