Crypto consulting · Blockchain advisory
Crypto consulting for businesses, not investors.
What matters, minus the hype.
Crypto and blockchain are turning into business infrastructure: payments, settlement, record-keeping. We help leadership teams work out what actually matters for their business, from taking payments and stablecoins to the rules that apply and where blockchain is, and isn’t, worth it.

What we help with
Operational advice, in plain English.
Taking crypto payments
Whether accepting bitcoin or stablecoins is worth it for your customers, which provider to use, and what it means for your books. Only want to take bitcoin payments? See our sister service Myntli.
Stablecoins for payments
Where dollar-backed stablecoins could make paying suppliers or getting paid across borders faster or cheaper, and where they won’t.
The rules that apply
Which regulations touch your business, what they mean in practice, and when to bring in a lawyer.
Blockchain use cases
Whether a shared ledger solves a real problem for you, or whether an ordinary database would do the job.
Controls and policy
Who can approve a transaction, how keys and accounts are held, and how it all gets recorded.
Leadership briefings
A straight briefing for the board or leadership team, so decisions get made on facts, not headlines.
Where things stand
Four things worth knowing in 2026.
Checked in October 2026. Rules change, and this isn’t legal or tax advice.
United States: stablecoins
Signed on 18 July 2025, the GENIUS Act creates the first federal rules for payment stablecoins: only permitted issuers may issue them, reserves must fully back them, and issuers publish their reserves monthly. It takes effect by January 2027 at the latest.
European Union: MiCA
The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation has applied in full since 30 December 2024, and its stablecoin rules since 30 June 2024. The last transition periods for existing crypto firms ended by 1 July 2026.
US tax reporting
Custodial brokers, including some crypto payment processors, report crypto sales to the IRS on Form 1099-DA: gross proceeds from 1 January 2025, and cost basis for certain sales from 1 January 2026.
Mainstream processors
Stripe lets US businesses accept stablecoins such as USDC for 1.5%, settled in dollars, with no chargebacks. PayPal’s Pay with Crypto costs 1.5% since its 0.99% launch rate ended on 31 July 2026. Coinbase Commerce closed on 31 March 2026; Coinbase Business is open in the US and Singapore.
What we don’t do
Clear lines.
- We don’t give investment advice, or tell you what to buy, hold or sell.
- We don’t hold, manage or move anyone’s crypto.
- We don’t replace your lawyer or accountant. We work alongside them.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do you give investment advice?
No. We advise on how crypto and blockchain affect your operations: payments, rules, controls and use cases. We don’t recommend buying, holding or selling any asset.
Should my business accept crypto?
It depends on your customers and your margins. If customers ask for it, or you sell across borders, it can be worth it. If not, it’s often a distraction, and we’ll say so.
Are stablecoins legal for US businesses?
Yes, US businesses can accept them: Stripe, for example, offers stablecoin payments to US businesses. The GENIUS Act, signed in July 2025, sets federal rules for the companies that issue them and takes effect by January 2027 at the latest. Involve your accountant on the tax and accounting side.
What changed in the EU?
The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) has applied in full since 30 December 2024. Crypto firms serving customers in the EU need authorization, and the last transition periods ended by 1 July 2026.
Do we need a blockchain?
Often not. If one organization controls the data and everyone trusts it, an ordinary database is cheaper and simpler. Blockchain earns its keep when several parties who don’t fully trust each other need the same record.
How do you charge?
On a retainer or by the hour for advice, or tied to a result when there’s a clear number to move. See paid-on-results consulting.
