LATAM VASP & DASP
A VASP license (Virtual Asset Service Provider) or DASP (Digital Asset Service Provider) is an authorization that allows a company to offer services with virtual assets, such as exchange, custody, or issuance of crypto and tokens. It is granted only by regulatory authorities in certain countries and requires compliance with AML/KYC policies, periodic reporting, and in some cases, proof of minimum capital.
Getting licensed with a asset service provider company or holding this license provides legal backing, makes it easier to work with banks and financial service providers, and lowers the risk of penalties or restrictions.
