At FundSetup, we specialize in end-to-end crypto fund formation services that help fund managers, family offices, and institutional investors launch and operate compliant, tax-optimized digital asset funds in top jurisdictions. From ADGM in Abu Dhabi to Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, BVI, and Dubai, our global reach and customized strategies make us a top-tier crypto fund formation provider.
Why Choose a Professional Crypto Fund Formation Provider?
The digital asset investment landscape is evolving rapidly. Governments are introducing new regulations, investor demand is rising, and institutional interest in crypto is exploding. However, forming a crypto fund isn’t just about setting up an entity—it requires jurisdictional compliance, AML/KYC frameworks, regulatory filings, banking access, and custodial solutions.
As a leading crypto fund formation provider, FundSetup ensures that your fund is structured for global compliance, investor trust, and long-term success.
Comprehensive Crypto Fund Setup Services
At FundSetup, we offer an all-in-one, tailor-made solution that includes:
1. Legal Structuring and Jurisdiction Selection
Choosing the right jurisdiction is critical for tax efficiency, investor appeal, and regulatory compliance. We help clients form crypto funds in:
ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market) – ideal for institutional-grade crypto funds with regulatory clarity
Cayman Islands – offers flexibility and is widely accepted by global investors
BVI (British Virgin Islands) – popular for cost-efficient and fast setups
Luxembourg (RAIF/RAIF+Crypto) – regulated EU-compliant options with strong investor protection
Dubai DIFC – emerging hub for digital assets with streamlined licensing
We guide you through the entire regulatory process including fund manager licensing, fund registration, and legal documentation.
2. Crypto-Friendly Bank and Custodian Integration
Crypto funds face challenges opening banking and custodial accounts. We maintain a strong network of crypto-friendly banks, exchanges, and custodians:
Integration with regulated crypto custodians (BitGo, Fireblocks, Copper)
Setup of multi-sig wallets and secure storage
Establishment of banking solutions in ADGM, DIFC, Cayman, or offshore hubs
Our partners are vetted to ensure fast onboarding and compliance.
3. Tokenization and Smart Contract Support
For crypto hedge funds or venture capital funds looking to tokenize fund units, we offer:
Token issuance frameworks
Smart contract development for fund logic
White-label platforms for digital fund subscription
This enables your fund to raise capital digitally, with full transparency and investor traceability.
4. Regulatory Licensing and Compliance
Every jurisdiction has its own licensing requirements. We assist with:
Fund Manager Licenses (e.g., ADGM FSRA, Cayman CIMA, BVI FSC)
AML/KYC Policy Design and Compliance Officer Support
Ongoing regulatory reporting, auditing, and NAV filings
Our compliance team ensures your fund stays on the right side of regulations—globally.
Best Jurisdictions for Crypto Fund Formation in 2025
ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market)
A rapidly growing jurisdiction for institutional crypto funds, ADGM offers a comprehensive regulatory regime under the FSRA. Crypto asset managers can register under the Fund Manager License, enjoy tax exemptions, and gain access to Middle Eastern investors.
Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands remain a top choice due to their flexible fund structures, tax neutrality, and global investor recognition. The CIMA-regulated funds are suitable for both open- and closed-ended crypto hedge funds.
Luxembourg
The RAIF (Reserved Alternative Investment Fund) structure offers regulatory light-touch formation but must appoint an authorized AIFM, making it suitable for European investors. Luxembourg is ideal for crypto venture funds or tokenized asset vehicles.
Dubai DIFC
DIFC has embraced virtual assets with new laws under VARA (Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority). It offers a strong financial infrastructure and is gaining traction among fund managers targeting MENA and Asia.
