Building a structure for a Blockchain&Web3 startup
A Blockchain&Web3 startup (DeFi platforms and an NFT marketplace) with beneficiaries from Ukraine and Estonia and projected turnover of $5–30M faced regulatory uncertainty around cryptocurrencies, difficulties with banking solutions and a need to protect intellectual property.
We designed a multi-level structure:
-
Switzerland (Crypto Valley, Zug): headquarters for legalising crypto projects and raising funds.
-
Estonia: licences for crypto exchange and custodial services.
-
UAE (ADGM, Abu Dhabi): a jurisdiction for tax optimisation and a favourable regulatory environment.
The sole trader continued supplying car parts without interruption, kept all the benefits of the partnership and now receives payments directly in Ukraine. The solution avoided extra costs, reduced risk and kept the business stable.
