Episode 8: No U.S. Persons Allowed!

Tokens of Wisdom

One of the top questions I get from aspiring digital asset fund managers is: How do I access non-US exchanges or token projects that bar US person participation? Unfortunately, the unsatisfying answer is: it depends!

There are myriad potential solutions to this problem, but the extent to which any of them might work for you depends on many factors.

Key Points From This Episode:

• Why certain non-US market participants do not want US Person investors.
• How they use different definitions of “US Person”.
• Why reading the fine print is critical.
• Potential structuring solutions.
• Why making false representations is always a bad idea.
• An introduction to counterparty risk.
