Who are we? FalconX is a pioneering team of operators, investors, and builders committed to revolutionizing institutional access to the crypto markets. Operating at the intersection of traditional finance and cutting-edge technology, FalconX addresses the industry's foremost challenges: Navigating the digital asset market can be complex and fragmented, with limited products and services that support trading strategies, structures, and liquidity found in conventional financial markets. As a comprehensive solution for all digital asset strategies from start to scale, FalconX operates as the connective tissue empowering clients with seamless navigation through the ever- evolving cryptocurrency landscape. As Senior Counsel, Regulatory, you will play a lead role in FalconX’s global regulatory footprint. Reporting to the Deputy General Counsel, you will own the execution of our 2026 licensing roadmap. You will also keep FalconX in good standing with digital asset regulators in every market where we operate. You are a crypto regulatory specialist who is comfortable working where the law is new and still changing, and you can bring clarity to areas where the rules are unsettled. What You Will Do Execute the Licensing Roadmap: Lead and manage new digital asset license applications, registrations and authorizations in all 2026 target jurisdictions. These include VASP registrations, state money transmitter licenses, the NYDFS BitLicense, MiCA CASP authorization and their international equivalents. Regulatory Liaison: Serve as a primary point of contact for crypto regulators. Manage inquiries, examinations, license renewals and ongoing reporting requirements so FalconX stays in good standing with oversight bodies worldwide. Regulatory Analysis & Advice: Advise on how digital assets are classified (security, commodity or other) and what that means for regulation. Also advise on custody, trading, lending and staking rules, Travel Rule compliance and AML/sanctions requirements
