Many areas of crypto currency today justify the intervention of a law firm expert in crypto currencies. We propose through this article to explain the main reasons.

Why choose a support by a lawyer expert in crypto currencies?

Unlike traditional currencies, virtual currencies or crypto currencies still do not have a real regularization and therefore their supervision by the public authorities still lacks visibility.

This is the very principle of crypto currencies, which are intended to be a decentralized monetary value, issued from peer to peer without any intervention from the Central Bank or dedicated control bodies. Being usable only through a decentralized computer network.

Because they escape for the moment from the state management, but affect considerably the economy, the crypto currencies do not enter yet in the state monetary policies, however the majority of the States are working on the creation of a legal framework of this type of currency in order to protect themselves in particular against the money laundering or the financing of terrorism.

To be advised and accompanied by a lawyer having developed an expertise in the field of crypto-currencies can prove to be highly necessary and prudent, considering the fact that this new field is only very little framed legally.

ICO / Fundraising in crypto currencies

Indeed, the capital gain generated will be subject to the capital gains regime for investments.

In this context, mastering all the tax aspects inherent to ICOs is imperative.

Understanding the taxation of crypto-currencies

The taxation of crypto currencies must be assimilated beforehand in order to be able to evaluate the taxation of certain operations, whether it is in terms of taxation of bitcoin mining, or even concerning the classic capital gains linked to virtual currency trading.

Obtaining national or international approvals

Creating a crypto-currency wallet

A crypto currency wallet is a software that will allow you to send, receive, control and sell your crypto currencies.

It will always consist of a public ID as well as a private key.

The activity of mining crypto currencies

The activity of mining crypto currencies is becoming more and more democratized, since it requires today only the installation of a software on computer.

It can be useful to frame this activity under a legal form, in particular via the creation of a one-man company or with partners.
