LEGAL DEVELOPMENT & LICENSING

Tokenbox has conducted legal review of crypto friendly jurisdictions to set up its subsidiaries. Also, given the increase in pressure from regulators, Tokenbox searches for potential solutions for broker and asset management activities in the crypto currency field and conducts consultations with leading companies in the world. Our task is to comply with existing laws and help regulators with drafting of laws and regulations that balance the development of new technologies.

On March 28, 2018 Tokenbox established a company in Gibraltar, Quadrat Enterprises Limited (Company Number 117159). Quadrat Enterprises Limited plans to apply for DLT license in the 2nd quarter of 2018, and expect to receive this license by the end of 2018.

Great news — we are going to be one of the first to get an official license for a crypto company in Gibraltar.
