Tokens of Wisdom

Episode 8: No U.S. Persons Allowed!


Listen Later

One of the top questions I get from aspiring digital asset fund managers is: How do I access non-US exchanges or token projects that bar US person participation? Unfortunately, the unsatisfying answer is: it depends! 

There are myriad potential solutions to this problem, but the extent to which any of them might work for you depends on many factors.


Key Points From This Episode: 

  • Why certain non-US market participants do not want US Person investors.
  • How they use different definitions of “US Person”.
  • Why reading the fine print is critical.
  • Potential structuring solutions.
  • Why making false representations is always a bad idea.
  • An introduction to counterparty risk.
