Digital Assets
Overview
Digital assets are a domain in which the enforcement of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act has imposed strict legal obligations — including segregated custody of user assets, monitoring of unfair trading, and liability for hacking and incident damages — making sophisticated legal responses aligned with regulatory authority guidelines indispensable. The Digital Asset Team at LIN Law Firm analyzes the enhanced compliance environment to review the legality of business models and manages function-specific risks for virtual assets across issuance, distribution, and custody. The team refines internal control systems and disclosure/sales processes for exchanges and issuers (Foundations) and supports business structure design optimized for the regulatory framework. Furthermore, by formulating prompt response strategies for virtual asset-related disputes and regulatory investigations, the team provides integrated legal solutions that enable companies to resolve legal uncertainties and expand their businesses with stability.
