Bank of Singapore blockchain
when many people are doing blockchain, they usually register a foundation to run with ordinary companies. Compared with Singapore foundation, what are the common problems when they register a Singapore foundation to do blockchain, Below, we will sort out and share some of our customers' concerns with you
1. Does the registration fee include the cost of the white paper
A: No, the legal adviser is a personalized business, and the fee depends on the project. The legal adviser can provide services in the whole process. Including the revision of the legal provisions of the white paper, and the issue of professional legal opinions on relevant laws and regulations such as the non securities nature of the token. ICO is the legal consultation in the process of issuing currency
2. About the Singapore foundation. Why should there be a company to operate and what is the relationship with the foundation? Why not register a company directly for ICO and exchange docking
A: the foundation is a public welfare organization and a public sector. It is more concive to attract investment and technology development to use the foundation to issue blockchain. It can also be directly ICO through ordinary companies. It depends on how customers want to operate
3. Isn't ICO a way to raise funds?
A: Yes. Participate in the crowdfunding of the project with the existing real value currency, and exchange for the new cryptocurrency issued by the project. The advantage of fundraisers is that they get the funds to carry out the project, while the participants want the project to be successful. In this way, the newly issued cryptocurrency in their hands is likely to appreciate and arbitrage. The so-called ICO means that investors use bitcoin and other ready-made virtual digital currencies to exchange for new tokens issued by ICO projects. Because there are few new currency owners and the price fluctuates greatly, the selling price on the exchange is likely to be much higher than the issuing price. The sponsors of ICO project use the traditional digital currency to exchange RMB and other legal currencies in the exchange, and then put them into the designated technical projects
4. Why not raise funds through common channels
A: the threshold of common channels is low, and there is no regulatory department. The risk is high
5. How to set up an exchange
A: you can choose an exchange according to your own situation. Generally, you should have strong experience in digital asset security management. There are many platforms
6. Why do you need to make a legal opinion
according to Singapore's financial law and securities law, if a virtual currency with securities nature needs to apply for a special financial license, so it needs to prove that the project does not contain securities nature, it needs a lawyer to issue a legal opinion on the non securitization of token and a legal opinion on compliance of white paper to prove the legality and compliance of the project, both of which are required by most customers
7. How can a registered Singapore foundation open an account in a bank
first of all, there is no need to open an account for a registered public non-profit foundation, and it is useless to open an account because the nature of the foundation itself is non-profit. When it comes to the next year's audit, can't it explain the income and expenditure of the bank account with the monetary authority? Second, the bank has a choice of customers. If the bank is told to do blockchain, the bank will not accept opening an account; Third, whether it's private placement or public offering, all the money raised are virtual currencies like Ethereum bitcoin. Ordinary bank accounts can't accept these currencies, so I don't recommend opening an account in a bank.
Blockchain project compliance generally chooses to register an overseas framework, and then the local lawyer will issue a legal compliance opinion to prove that the project conforms to the laws of the host country. The main body in the market is the Singapore foundation, and this legal opinion is also issued by a local licensed lawyer in Singapore
The legal opinions can be divided into two categories:1. For the project, the legal opinions issued by the well-known exchanges of Shanghuo coin, OK and coin an, and the legal compliance opinions issued by the well-known lawyers of the designated Singapore law firm
2. Ordinary legal opinions are issued by ordinary licensed law firms in Singapore for these mainstream exchanges
{rrrrrrr}
information required for issuing legal compliance opinions:
1. Chinese and English version of project white paper (word document)
2. Information of directors
3. Information of main Singapore foundation
registration certificate
articles of association
registration paper
Singapore is friendly to blockchain projects and has perfect follow-up legal services, This legal compliance opinion can be issued. It can't be issued in other places. The role of legal opinions in Singapore is relatively large. After all, the cost of processing is much cheaper than the cost of licensing, so it is very attractive for domestic project parties
token with the Singapore foundation for blockchain registration? Do you use the offshore company to control the Singapore entity or the Singapore entity to control the offshore company
1. The main role of offshore companies in token issuing structure: privacy protection and tax planning; The comparison of the two different holding structures is as follows:
structure 1: Singapore non-profit CLG holding offshore company
structure 2: offshore company holding Singapore PDE Ltd
in structure 2, using offshore main body to hold Singapore private limited company, there is a high risk of being refused to open an account in Singapore Corporate Bank
topic 3: after the issuance of token, How to deal with the problem of capital liquidity? How to deal with accounting and auditing
although Singapore's banks are still in a highly sensitive state in opening bank accounts for digital currency related businesses e to their inability to handle the fixed source of funds, KYC / AML barriers, and MAS's support and encouragement for financial innovation, Singapore is still the most friendly international financial center for digital currency instry among the coastal countries. The main problems of token change in banks are all caused by the unknown large amount of funds recorded in accounts
in the later operation of token issuance, four problems need to be treated carefully
1) the choice of the country where the operator is located: the company tax of the country, the friendliness to digital currency and the policy trend should be considered
2) to open a public bank account, the operator should obtain professional account opening guidance to avoid rejection
3) compliance operation in the process of token realization: it needs a compliant trading partner without regulatory risks to conct transactions, so as to avoid the bank account being closed
4) daily financial and tax work of operation entities: timely obtain professional service guidance, and strictly carry out daily accounting and tax audit report work

after the Singapore blockchain ICO company established the Singapore foundation, if it wants to issue currency, it will also involve four certificates:

Singapore regards the development of blockchain technology as the top priority of the country. According to the law, "public guarantee company limited" is established for non-profit purposes, and its members are responsible for contributing assets to the company. It can be seen that ICO foundation is supported by policies in Singapore. Singapore is the center of Asian blockchain, the most popular settlement area, and the government has a clear regulatory attitude towards ICO Close to China, open and friendly policy, shape corporate public image, provide financial support for enterprises, reasonable tax avoidance

2. Company name, in all capitals, ending with Foundation Ltd.

the monetary authority of Singapore has also announced an important piece of good news - it is testing the central bank currency based on blockchain technology and can be used for inter-bank settlement. For project investors, there is a shortcut to how to issue blockchain technology tokens in Singapore: register the Singapore public non-profit foundation to prove that the token is non securities, and then issue it.
the process of registering the Singapore foundation is as follows:
1. Provide the English version of the name of the foundation, and use it after passing the name search
2. Provide the ID cards of three registrants, one of whom is required by the registration board to be a director of Singapore nationality
3. Registered address in Singapore
4. Business scope of the foundation (optional)
5. Registered capital: S $1, no capital verification
6. Registration time: 10-25 working days
in addition, the Singapore registered foundation also needs a local business secretary, lawyer and auditor. After the foundation is registered, it needs to make legal compliance for the issued token, that is, to prove that the token does not have the nature of securities and futures, which can better prevent the supervision of the HKMA.
As one of the most convenient countries in the world to do business and the headquarters of more than 600 local and foreign financial institutions, Singapore has provided various conveniences for entrepreneurs to invest and start businesses. According to the report on global competitiveness published by the world economic forum in 2014, Singapore ranked second in the global competitiveness ranking for four consecutive years, with 130 ranking better than the United States 9370, Hong Kong and other places. 6165 has obvious international competitive advantage in innovation and efficiency. Therefore, many large enterprises in China regard the registration of Companies in Singapore as the first step for companies to go global
