New Partnership
CryptoSlate x Gofaizen & Sherle
Fast-track MiCA and global crypto licensing
For exchanges, wallets, and fintech founders who need compliant entry into the EU and key offshore hubs, with end-to-end legal, company formation, and ongoing regulatory support.
How we deliver
See how the CryptoSlate x Gofaizen & Sherle partnership delivers compliant EU market entry.
Jurisdiction strategy, not guesswork
Compare EU and offshore options side by side. We map activities to licenses, costs, and banking paths so you pick the right route the first time.
Compliance built-in, day one
Draft AML/CFT policies, risk assessments, internal controls, and KYC flows aligned to regulator expectations; prepare your team for interviews and audits.
Company setup and banking
Form entities, prepare corporate docs, and coordinate bank and PSP onboarding for high-risk profiles, keeping operations and compliance aligned.
Ongoing regulator liaison
We coordinate responses, clarifications, and meetings with supervisors post-submission, keeping momentum and preventing avoidable delays from ambiguous requests or missed documentation.
Product risk reviews
Assess token listings, staking, and derivatives against policy and license scope; document controls so features ship without triggering reclassification or unexpected approvals.
Why it matters
Translate compliance work into business outcomes: faster launches, lower risk, and scalable governance.
-
Reduce regulatory uncertainty
Know exactly what each regulator expects, what documents to prepare, and typical timelines; avoid costly redo cycles.
-
Enter markets faster
Parallelize formation, policy drafting, and submissions so product milestones aren’t blocked by paperwork or feedback loops.
-
Lower total compliance cost
Choose a license that fits your activities and risk appetite; prevent reapplications and duplicate structures across regions.

Stay audit-ready at scale
Templates, training, and review cadences keep procedures current when rules change or you add products.
