How we deliver
See how the CryptoSlate x Gofaizen & Sherle partnership delivers compliant EU market entry.
Full-cycle CASP under MiCA
From gap analysis to submission and regulator communication in Lithuania, Poland, and Spain, we manage every step so you launch with confidence and clear timelines.
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.
