Token sales — whether through ICOs, STOs, or other fundraising mechanisms — offer significant opportunities for innovation and capital raising. However, they also attract regulatory scrutiny and potential exposure to financial crime risks. At TAG, we provide specialized AML services for token sales, ensuring your fundraising efforts are secure, transparent, and fully compliant with both UAE and international regulatory frameworks.
Whether you're accepting crypto, fiat, or credit card payments, we help you implement the controls needed to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities.
Why AML Matters in Token Sales
The rapid growth of the Web3 and blockchain space has placed token issuers under increasing regulatory oversight. Regulators in the UAE — including VARA, SCA, and the Central Bank — require strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, especially when digital assets are being exchanged for value.
Non-compliance can lead to regulatory sanctions, investor distrust, and reputational damage. Implementing a robust AML strategy from the outset is no longer optional — it’s essential.
Tailored for UAE Crypto Projects
Dubai is fast becoming a global crypto hub, and with that comes increased regulatory clarity and enforcement. If your token sale targets investors from or within the UAE, you must comply with:
- VARA’s virtual asset framework
- AML/CFT UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2018
- Cabinet Resolution No. 10 of 2019
- FATF Recommendations
At TAG, we understand the nuances of local and global crypto regulations — and we help you navigate them with confidence.
