Catenaa, Sunday, November 23, 2025-Fintech law firm Gofaizen & Sherle has introduced the Crypto License Navigator, an interactive tool helping crypto businesses evaluate and compare licensing options across jurisdictions ahead of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) implementation in 2026.
The tool allows startups and exchanges to make informed decisions by analyzing factors such as capital requirements, corporate taxes, licensing timelines, banking access, and jurisdiction reputation.
It supports compliance and operational efficiency while guiding sustainable growth in a stricter regulatory environment.
Key considerations include global recognition, regulatory stability, permissible services under a license, operating costs, initial budget, and local presence requirements.
The Navigator provides a real-time dashboard for businesses to model licensing strategies tailored to their goals.
Gofaizen & Sherle highlighted jurisdictions expected to remain attractive for crypto licensing in 2026. El Salvador offers zero corporate taxes for digital assets and broad coverage under the DASP license. Canada maintains transparent MSB regulation and institutional credibility.
Montana, USA, allows blockchain operations without complex state-level rules. Switzerland continues as a fintech hub under flexible FINMA regulations, while Bosnia and Herzegovina provides fast, low-cost licensing outside MiCAR.
The firm, headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with offices across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, has supported over 800 crypto licenses in 50+ jurisdictions.
Its expertise spans licensing, accounting, HR, and compliance, guiding clients from project planning to operational launch.
