Crypto and blockchain ecosystem in Belgium

The crypto world in Belgium is just one aspect of a much broader and dynamic ecosystem. Our country plays an active role in the development of blockchain infrastructure, ranging from hardware wallets and specialized software to innovative applications within decentralized networks. Besides investment funds and startups, there are also companies and freelancers active in software development or other supporting roles, whether directly or indirectly linked to crypto assets.

We support both individuals and companies active in the crypto or blockchain ecosystem. This ranges from companies building hardware wallets or developing blockchain software, to funds investing in digital assets, or startups launching new web3 or DeFi projects. We also guide independent consultants or developers working on foreign blockchain projects in establishing a suitable legal structure.

Legal and tax support for blockchain companies and service providers

Every business or self-employed person operating within the blockchain or crypto ecosystem faces complex legal and tax challenges. We help them structure their activities correctly and efficiently, including:

• Advice on the tax and legal implications of crypto transactions, tokenomics and ICOs/IEOs

• Assistance in setting up the correct corporate structure (e.g. working through a management company for foreign blockchain projects)

• Support for RCU (Restricted Coin Units) optimization within employee or founder incentive plans

• Compliance with Belgian and European regulations (such as AML/KYC obligations)

• Assistance with applying for a ruling to obtain legal certainty in advance

Thanks to our expertise and network of specialized partners, we can help companies, investors, and service providers operate legally sound and tax-efficiently in this rapidly evolving landscape.
