How activity mapping, evidence and controls shape a credible application. The observations below provide a strategic framework for discussion and are not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific professional advice.

01

Map activities precisely

Define products, clients, token types, flows of funds and assets, custody, settlement, outsourcing and every jurisdiction involved.

02

Build the evidence register

Coordinate the business plan, governance, financial resources, compliance framework, AML and sanctions controls, technology, cybersecurity, outsourcing and policies.

03

Treat licensing as an operating-model project

A credible application should describe a business capable of operating under the proposed controls. Final requirements and decisions remain with the regulator.
