Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies have become common words in today’s business landscape. Their huge success over the last ten years and growing mainstream adoption have encouraged many to launch their own coins or crypto business.
At the beginning of 2018, the market value of Bitcoin was a staggering $230 billion. Ethereum witnessed similar success, albeit not as much as its counterpart. Other coins such as Litecoin are becoming more popular and more members of the public are looking to use virtual currencies in their day-to-day life.

Legal considerations of cryptocurrency businesses
Cryptocurrencies are decentralised by nature which means there is no authority that supervises the activities of those that use them. This can be an issue when dealing with some jurisdictions. Thankfully, since the popularity of crypto has increased, more governments have been seeking solutions in terms of regulation. There are now a number of jurisdictions where you can operate cryptocurrency businesses legally and without any issues.
