Dr. Zvi Gabbay, a senior partner and head of our firm's Regulation Department, was interviewed by Channel 10 on the emerging US regulation of stablecoins. In the interview, he emphasized the importance of regulation to ensure financial stability and consumer transparency, compared the initiative to the already-established European framework, and discussed its expected impact on investors, entrepreneurs, and consumers, while highlighting the need to balance technological innovation with appropriate regulatory safeguards.
Capital Markets / Blockchain and Crypto
Blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies (crypto), and smart contracts have revolutionized the financial and legal landscapes. Companies operating in this space, including startups, stock exchanges, investment funds, and institutional players, have used these technologies to crate groundbreaking and innovative products. Yet such companies face emerging and complex cross-border legal challenges as regulation is still evolving both in Israel and globally. Regulators worldwide are striving to keep up and offer regulatory solutions.
Our blockchain and crypto practice advises leading entities in the sector. Clients include startups building trading platforms and DeFi systems, companies developing blockchain-based products, investment funds, stock exchanges, and crypto platforms, as well as companies seeking licensing or to raise capital through digital token offerings. We provide comprehensive, end-to-end legal support across all aspects of their operations, including formation, fundraising, regulation, tax, IP, privacy, cybersecurity, and AML/KYC compliance.
Token and Digital Currency Issuances
We counsel clients on token and coin offerings, including security token offerings (STO) and initial exchange offerings (IEO), as well as the impact of securities laws on digital asset classification. In the context of evolving European (MiCA) and US regulations, precise legal guidance is essential. As such, our services also include legal advice on taxation and anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) compliance, as well as on classifications, data security, and privacy issues.
Guiding Issuances and Trading Platforms
We provide strategic legal support throughout the entire issuance process, from the strategic planning stages to actual execution. Our services include incorporation, corporate structuring, cross-border regulatory risk management, the drafting of offering documents (whitepapers, SAFTs, and commercial agreements), and ensuring full regulatory compliance. We also advise on tax, commercial law, corporate law, banking, and intellectual property matters.
In addition, we assist in launching trading platforms for digital assets, opening and operating electronic wallets, and setting up crypto investment funds. Our expertise also extends to Web3, NFTs, DAOs, and Metaverse-related ventures.
