Digital Assets

In today’s rapidly evolving digital currency ecosystem, winning takes more than an innovative business model and disruptive technology. In early 2013, we became the first risk and compliance solutions provider for Bitcoin companies. Today, having brought many industry-leading ventures to market, we continue to meet the growing demand for risk and compliance solutions in the digital currency marketplace. Stratis Advisory has helped clients to achieve the NY DFS Bitlicense, and we provide the risk infrastructure and guidance that clients need to secure and maintain banking relationships.

Founded by former compliance officers and AML experts, Stratis Advisory is headquartered in Silicon Valley. We have a hands-on understanding of the operational compliance issues that can negatively impact product development, next-stage funding, and your company’s ability to establish banking relationships. We maintain an active portfolio of prominent venture capital-backed and incubator-graduate companies at different stages of their growth cycle and institutional funding. Our on-demand TempCCO® services and support are tailored to your company’s unique strategic, risk, and operational requirements.

How will you overcome the challenge of navigating the current regulatory landscape?

Digital currency entrepreneurs must manage market entry within a maze of compliance requirements that impact cash burn, launch schedules, and revenue targets. Stratis Advisory draws on an in-depth knowledge of the entire regulatory framework governing digital financial services to help you understand and comply cost-effectively with the specific regulatory requirements that apply to your business model and operating markets.

Get practical guidance on how to navigate the licensing and banking landscape.

One key element of a startup’s viability is its banking relationship—not just the operational account but also the transactional account that enables the startup’s users to do business with customer funds. Equally important is the ability to navigate the licensing landscape to cost-effectively ensure compliance and alignment with your market development strategy. Stratis Advisory can provide the strategic guidance and risk infrastructure needed to achieve and maintain licensing and banking relationships.
