A Unique Expertise in Digital Assets

Comprehensive Support for Your Blockchain Projects

Our lawyers assist in implementing projects related to cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and tokenization. Our expertise includes:

  • PSAN (Digital Asset Service Provider) Registration: Mandatory for companies offering digital asset services in France, registered with the AMF.
  • Preparation for MiCA Regulation: Applicable across Europe starting in 2025.
  • Obtaining Authorizations: For exchange platforms, e-money issuers, portfolio management companies, or payment service providers.

With an approach blending innovation and compliance, we guide our clients through a complex legal framework while seizing strategic opportunities.

 

Tokenization: Transforming Financial Instruments

Tokenizing Financial Instruments

Tokenization is revolutionizing traditional finance by integrating blockchain technology for greater transparency, efficiency, and security.

Our lawyers have contributed to innovative initiatives, including the first tokenization of bonds to finance a solar power plant. This growing market offers enhanced reliability, simplified liquidity, and reduced costs and issuance times.

Thanks to the Pilot Regime, adopted by the European Commission in March 2023, it is now possible to develop Security Token projects within an experimental regulatory framework. We assist banks, financial institutions, and new players in obtaining the necessary authorizations from regulators (AMF, Banque de France, ACPR).

Tokenizing Payment Methods

Tokenization of payment instruments, such as bank cards, enables innovative solutions for payment service providers, digital solution providers, and crypto platforms. This transition modernizes customer journeys while adhering to IT security standards and regulatory requirements.
