Growth Comes With Strings
As your cryptocurrency business gains momentum, new complexities emerge. Expansion in the U.S. introduces legal challenges that require careful attention, from contractual arrangements to tax obligations. At Bayne Law, we offer the experience and capacity to assist as you address these issues. This In Veritas post explores those hurdles and how we’re prepared to support your efforts.
The Operational Tightrope
Partnerships, for instance, can falter if contracts fail to account for risks like smart contract errors or market volatility. Intellectual property—such as a proprietary trading algorithm—requires protection to maintain its value. Taxation adds another layer: the IRS treats cryptocurrency transactions as taxable events, with audits for crypto firms rising 80% in 2024, per industry reports. For international companies pursuing inbound M&A, these domestic challenges are compounded by cross-border considerations.
