Blockchain Technology and Digital Currency

In the ever-evolving landscape of financial technology (FinTech), Shipkevich PLLC has positioned itself as a leader in providing legal services tailored to the innovation of blockchain technology and digital currency utilization. Recognizing the transformative power of digital currencies as novel capital-raising vehicles, our attorneys are well-versed in the complexities of blockchain implementation and the regulatory environment shaping its adoption.

As federal agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are getting more involved in overseeing digital currency implementation, it becomes increasingly challenging for companies to sort out the legalities of hosting digital currency offerings in the United States. Our firm’s talented attorneys have extensive legal experience in dealing with this highly scrutinized area, from traditional capital markets, foreign exchange, introducing brokers, and corporate governance, to cases that involve the Dodd-Frank Act, and industry-leading companies developing new technology in the FinTech, digital currency, and blockchain spaces.
