Step 7-A: Complete KYB for SPV

Conditional

Complete KYB (Know Your Business) verification for the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) if an alternative issuing country is selected.


Definition of SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle)

An SPV is a legally separate entity created specifically to isolate financial and legal risks associated with a particular project or business activity. In tokenization, an SPV is often used to:

  • Issue tokens on behalf of the primary business entity.

  • Ensure regulatory compliance in the selected jurisdiction.

  • Limit liability and protect the main business operations from risks tied to token issuance.


How It Works

  • SPV Formation. The issuer establishes an SPV in the selected issuance country.

  • KYB Verification. The SPV undergoes KYB verification to ensure it complies with regulatory requirements for the jurisdiction.

  • Integration. The SPV information is embedded in the smart contract as part of the token’s metadata, alongside the issuance company.


Why This Step is Important

  • Regulatory Compliance. Establishes a legally recognized entity for token issuance, ensuring alignment with the jurisdiction’s laws.

  • Risk Isolation. Shields the parent company from liabilities associated with token issuance.

  • Transparency. Embedding the SPV information in the token’s metadata provides clear, immutable information about the issuing entity.

  • Investor Confidence. A well-structured SPV reassures investors that the issuance is professionally managed and compliant.

  • Flexibility. Enables token issuance in jurisdictions different from the parent company’s registration country.

This step ensures that alternative issuance structures are managed professionally and transparently, paving the way for a compliant and secure tokenization process.
