Select Applicable License
It is essential to specify the type of license you hold if applicable. This ensures regulatory compliance, defines the scope of permissible activities, and streamlines the due diligence process. Licensing demonstrates that the issuer meets the necessary legal and operational requirements, providing assurance to investors, partners, and regulators. The selected license type also determines the regulatory obligations, reporting standards, and operational limitations applicable to the issuer.
Importantly, it's vital to evaluate the applicability of licensing requirements to the issuer's business model and token type. Failure to properly register is a heavy criminal offense, so this assessment should be undertaken diligently.
