UK and EU

Built for how the UK and Europe are regulating crypto.

Lucidblock is a UK company. Our reports are written for the people who now have to evidence something about a wallet under UK and EU rules: solicitors and accountants, banks and regulated platforms, auditors and insolvency practitioners, and the individuals they act for.

The rules

Six regimes. One recurring question.

None of them says "commission a wallet analysis". Each creates moments where someone regulated must be satisfied about something that is recorded on a blockchain and nowhere else.
