What Slows You Down

⚠️

AML & KYC Scrutiny

Crypto and forex firms face intense anti-money-laundering checks; a single gap in your policies can stall licencing.

Volatility in Regulatory Landscape

Crypto regulations evolve rapidly—today's compliant framework might shift by your launch date.

Cross-Border Liquidity Challenges

Ensuring seamless fiat-crypto conversions and forex liquidity pools requires strong banking ties that are hard to secure.

Custody & Security Requirements

Regulators demand robust cold-storage solutions and security audits—missing certifications slows approval.

Limited Crypto-Friendly Jurisdictions

Not all free zones permit digital asset activities; choosing the wrong one could mean extra re-filings or outright rejection.

Foreign Ownership Restrictions

Some free zones cap foreign ownership or require local partners—negotiating these stakes adds complexity.
