"It's our aim to provide our clients with the flexibility to pay us in their chosen form of currency, and it should come as no surprise that clients in the digital currency space often prefer to transact in digital currency."
He went on to say that the company also wanted to adopt the 'practice what you preach' mentality – it represents bitcoin companies, so it made sense to show some allegiance to the currency.
"We represent clients in the three market segments of the digital currency space, so that's those involved in payments, mining and businesses that see bitcoin as an investment vehicle," Santori added.
He admits part of the reason he has done so much work for businesses in the digital currency space is because there isn't a lot of competition out there.
"There really aren't a lot of other lawyers who've dedicated time, resources and brainpower to figuring out a lot of these complex bitcoin and digital currency problems."
This could change over the coming months, though, with an increase in bitcoin companies seeking legal advice as governments start to take a closer look at which, if any, laws and regulations apply to the space

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
