IBL PARTNERS BlockChain Group
IBL Partners' BLOCKCHAIN GROUP leverAges EXTENSIVE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE to support TECHNOLOGISTS, INNOVATORS, AND HIGH-LEVEL INDUSTRY PARTICIPANTS IN THE BLOCKCHAIN and WEB3 SPACE.
IBL Partners has been supporting builders, companies, and investors in the distributed ledger technology, blockchain, and web3 spaces since 2018. We understood early-on that advances in technology, including blockchain and DLT (distributed ledger technology), fintech, DeFi, and Web3 more generally, were poised to change the world, and that government agencies and corporate stakeholders may lag behind the innovation.
In order to help innovators navigate regulatory uncertainty, we built an expansive team of industry experts, leveraging their collective regulatory experience and expertise in the technology sector to offer clients indispensable legal support.
Our firm practices across a diverse array of practice areas, with a particular emphasis on: blockchain, DeFi and web-3 regulation, finance, venture capital and fundraising regulation; intellectual property; corporate and general counsel; and litigation.
Regulatory areas we frequently advise on with respect to relevant to blockchain include securities, commodities and derivatives (CFTC), money transfer law (MTL) and money services business (MSB) regulations, FinCEN and OFAC regulation, the New York “BitLicense” (and other state crypto-specific laws), lending and banking law, energy regulatory law, gambling, gaming and sweepstakes law, and multinational corporate structuring. In addition to counseling companies embracing emerging technologies, we also help traditional companies apply innovations in emerging technologies to their existing businesses, while ensuring that all regulatory concerns are properly addressed.
Technology industry areas include: token issuances (both security and utility, private placement and crowdfunded); DeFi; NFTs and general blockchain IP representation and ownership; payment and money services coins; mining; web3 multiverse, GameFi; and crypto market-making (incl. derivatives/CFTC). We frequently perform token securities characterization reviews, regulatory coverage/diagnostic reviews, web3 protocol/platform legal advisory generally, and advise on KYC/AML compliance across all web3 verticals.
