Digital Assets
Registration & Licensing
Business Advisory
Phoenix helps digital asset firms solve the five issues that most often delay registration, constrain growth, or create supervisory friction after approval. We work alongside management, compliance, operations, and counsel to define the right path and make the business model operationally defensible.
-
Regulatory perimeter and licensing strategy
Assess products, token types, customer base, jurisdictions, transaction flows, and legal entities to define the most appropriate registration and licensing roadmap. -
AML / KYC / KYB, sanctions, and financial-crime program design
Design onboarding, monitoring, wallet screening, escalation, suspicious activity workflows, and where required Travel Rule operating procedures sized to the firm’s actual risk profile. -
Governance, policies, and compliance framework
Establish board and management governance, responsible-person structure, outsourcing oversight, policy hierarchy, risk assessments, and compliance testing needed for initial approval and ongoing supervision. -
Custody, client asset protection, and resilience
Review custody model, segregation, key-management controls, third-party dependencies, cybersecurity, incident response, and operational resilience so the control environment matches regulatory expectations. -
Books, records, reporting, and examination readiness
Design the data lineage, surveillance, reconciliations, documentation, reporting, and management information needed to respond clearly to regulators before, during, and after licensure.
AltsCentralAI Solutions
AltsCentralAI turns registration and licensing into a governed, data-first workflow rather than a manual, document-heavy exercise. For digital asset managers, tokenization platforms, exchanges, brokers, and infrastructure providers, the platform helps define applicable obligations, assemble evidence, automate controls, and maintain ongoing licensing readiness across jurisdictions. AI reduces manual effort across document intake, policy mapping, gap analysis, and regulator-response workflows, while quantum-ready optimization can be introduced selectively for high-constraint planning problems where traditional processes are slow or expensive.
-
Licensing obligations engine: Map business activities, products, jurisdictions, entities, and transaction flows to applicable registrations, licenses, and ongoing obligations.
-
AI application and evidence workbench: Extract data from policies, ownership structures, vendor contracts, custody arrangements, cybersecurity materials, and financial documents to accelerate application packs, gap logs, and remediation trackers.
-
Entity, wallet, and ownership intelligence: Connect legal entities, beneficial owners, accounts, wallets, and counterparties in a single view to support licensing, onboarding, screening, and supervisory responses.
-
Policy, control, and attestation automation: Maintain versioned policies, control inventories, approvals, exceptions, attestations, and evidence trails so firms can show how requirements are being met in practice.
-
Surveillance, records, and exam readiness: Unify on-chain, off-chain, exchange, custody, and operational data into auditable books and records, exception workflows, management dashboards, and regulator-ready evidence packs.
Technology Execution & Delivery
Phoenix technology leaders and consultants can lead, build, or augment the programs required to get licensed and stay licensed. We can own delivery end-to-end with our own team, run a co-sourced execution model with client leadership, or provide targeted staff augmentation across architecture, data, compliance technology, operations, and process redesign. That approach is consistent with Phoenix’s stated delivery model of practitioner-led advisory, repeatable implementations, multi-cloud integration, and regulated-firm execution discipline.
-
End-to-end program leadership: Stand up the workplan, governance, PMO, regulator-response tracker, dependencies, and execution cadence from pre-application through approval and post-license readiness.
-
Architecture and data foundation: Build the canonical data model for entities, beneficial owners, wallets, transactions, policies, controls, exceptions, and evidence; integrate exchanges, custodians, KYC vendors, blockchains, surveillance tools, and document repositories.
-
Compliance technology implementation: Implement or upgrade onboarding, screening, case management, rules engines, surveillance, reporting, workflow, and control-attestation platforms with appropriate approval chains and audit logging.
-
Security, custody, and control engineering: Deliver identity and access controls, secrets and key-management integration, segregation controls, logging, retention, lineage, and resilience patterns required for defensible regulated operations.
-
Flexible delivery and staff augmentation: Provide solution architects, data engineers, platform engineers, program managers, compliance technology specialists, QA/UAT support, and managed support resources wherever the program needs added depth or speed.
