Regulatory & Legal Risk - Frequently Asked Questions
The regulatory landscape for crypto assets is complex and constantly evolving. We view regulatory clarity not as a threat, but as a crucial step for the maturity of the industry. This FAQ details our proactive and transparent strategy for navigating this environment and building a fully compliant ecosystem.
Q1: How does the AISHE project approach regulatory compliance?
Our approach is one of **proactive and transparent engagement.** We are not operating in a grey area by choice. From day one, we have engaged a top-tier international law firm specializing in digital assets to guide our strategy. Our goal is to build a project that is not just innovative, but also legally robust and sustainable for the long term.
Q2: How is the $AISHE token classified? Is it a security?
Based on our legal counsel's analysis, the $AISHE token is architected to be a **Utility Token**. Its primary and immediate function is to provide access to a good or service within our ecosystem—namely, significant discounts on the AISHE software subscription. It does not represent equity, a debt instrument, or a claim on the profits of the Seneca 24 S.L. enterprise. This classification is designed to be compliant with major regulatory frameworks like the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
Q3: What specific steps are you taking to ensure legal compliance?
Our compliance strategy is multi-faceted:
- Formal Legal Opinion: We will publish a summary of the formal Legal Opinion Memorandum from our counsel, which details the token's classification.
- Strategic Jurisdiction: We are establishing our token-issuing entity in a jurisdiction with a clear and respected legal framework for digital assets, such as Switzerland or Liechtenstein, to ensure regulatory certainty.
- Proactive Regulator Engagement: Where appropriate, our legal team will proactively engage with financial supervisory authorities (like FINMA in Switzerland) to seek clarity and present our model.
- KYC/AML Standards: The IEO will be conducted on a top-tier launchpad that enforces strict Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures, in line with global standards.
Q4: How does the EU's MiCA regulation affect the AISHE IEO?
MiCA creates a unified regulatory framework for crypto assets across the European Union. We welcome this development as it provides clarity for projects and protection for investors. Our legal strategy is fully aligned with MiCA. As a Utility Token, the $AISHE IEO will adhere to all MiCA requirements, including the publication of a compliant, detailed Whitepaper and transparent marketing communications.
Q5: What about regulations in other parts of the world, like the USA?
We are taking a globally cautious and compliant approach. Due to the current regulatory uncertainty in the United States, **residents and citizens of the USA and other specifically listed restricted countries will not be able to participate in the IEO.** We will strictly enforce this through the KYC process. Our global expansion via the "Licensee & Reseller" program will only proceed in jurisdictions where we have a clear understanding of the local regulatory landscape.
Q6: The "Buy-and-Burn" sounds like a return on investment. Doesn't that make it a security?
This is a critical legal distinction. While the "Buy-and-Burn" mechanism is designed to create value for token holders, it is legally structured differently from a dividend or a share in profits. The value accrual comes from a protocol-driven reduction in supply, not from a distribution of the company's profits to token holders. This model, analogous to a corporate stock buyback, is generally not considered a determining factor for a security classification in most modern crypto legal frameworks, as there is no expectation of profit solely from the "efforts of others" in a common enterprise. However, the legal analysis is complex and detailed in our Legal Opinion.
