Hello! My name is Alexey, I am a methodologist and teacher on the Asibiont platform. Today I want to tell you about a course we created with heart and expertise — "Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain: Regulation (SEC, FINMA, ESMA, FCA)". If you work in the crypto industry or are just planning to launch your project, you have probably encountered chaos: in one country a token is a security, in another it's a commodity, and in a third it's completely illegal. How to figure this out? How to avoid SEC fines or not lose your license in Switzerland? This course is your navigator.
Why is this topic important right now?
The world of crypto regulation changes every month. In 2024, the MiCA regulation came into force in the European Union, introducing uniform rules for stablecoin issuers and crypto service providers. Agencies like the SEC (USA), FINMA (Switzerland), FCA (UK), and ESMA (EU) are actively conducting enforcement actions — fines and lawsuits against crypto exchanges and DeFi projects. For example, in 2023, the SEC filed lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase, classifying many tokens as securities based on the Howey Test. Without understanding these processes, your business could be at risk.
What will you learn in the course?
The course is not boring theory, but a practical guide. You will gain skills that can be immediately applied in your work:
- Token Classification. Understand how the SEC applies the Howey Test and FINMA uses its guidelines (utility vs security vs payment tokens). Learn the difference for the compliance department.
- Licensing of Crypto Exchanges and Custodians. Study the requirements for obtaining a license in Switzerland (FINMA), the UK (FCA), and under MiCA. Understand what documents are needed and how to pass the inspection.
- AML/KYC and Taxation. Learn how to implement anti-money laundering procedures (5th EU Directive, FATF recommendations) and how crypto assets are taxed in different countries.
- DeFi and Staking Under Supervision. Understand how decentralized protocols are regulated and what "staking as a service" means from a legal perspective.
- Enforcement Actions and Precedents. Analyze real cases: the Ripple vs SEC case, fines against Kraken for staking, lawsuits against Uniswap. This will help you avoid common mistakes.
Who is this course for?
The course is designed for:
* Lawyers and compliance specialists who want to deepen their knowledge of crypto regulation.
* Founders and CEOs of crypto projects (exchanges, wallets, DeFi protocols) to understand risks and requirements.
* Financial analysts and investors who want to evaluate projects from a regulatory risk perspective.
* Students and beginners planning a career in blockchain law.
How does learning on Asibiont work?
On Asibiont, we use an AI tutor that generates personalized lessons for each student. You don't just read lectures — the neural network adapts the program to your level and goals. For example, if you are a beginner, the AI will start with the basics: what a token is and how it differs from a coin. If you have already worked with the SEC, the system will offer an advanced module on enforcement actions. All lessons are text-based (no videos), and you can study them at any time — 24/7 access. The AI explains complex terms in simple language, provides real-world examples, and asks questions to check understanding.
Why is AI learning modern?
Traditional courses are often static: you go through one program regardless of your background. The Asibiont AI tutor analyzes your answers and progress and adjusts the content in real time. Stuck on the "Howey Test" topic? The AI will offer additional materials and cases. Want to focus on MiCA? The system will restructure the program. This saves time and gives you exactly the knowledge you need.
What do students say?
Maria, a compliance officer from Dubai: "The course helped me systematize my knowledge of FINMA and SEC. I finally understood how to classify tokens for our project. The AI tutor answered all my questions, even when I asked about nuances of taxation in Switzerland."
