Best offshore setup for Crypto exchange entity KYC (Binance)

[foreverdoomed]

Hello, Binance is banned in my country and I want to be able to trade nonetheless. You can open institutional account there as entity and I was wondering what's the easiest/fastest/cheapest Jurisdiction for this? BVI, seychelles? I've read BVI has some new constraints that it didnt have years ago

Also, to pass the entity KYC you're required to upload Proof of Wealth and Proof of Funds for the company and I dont fully understand what that means, do I have to open a bank account along with the company? Because most of my funds are in crypto and not in a bank account so if you know a firm that can help with this it's a plus

Thank you

Maybe no setup. Just a wallet address? And for the 10% that pay, a Swiss, Liechtenstein or Caribbean company.

Wdym just a wallet? To be able to trade on Binance you either KYC as retail (cant since banned here) either as a company
I'm trying to achieve the latter, hence I need to open a company in a non banned jurisdiction

Binance will onboard any structure really so far its not from a sanctioned country.
I'd go with somewhere with no accounting requirements if I was you; Seychells, SVG, Belize, etc...

Now, banking this type of companies with crypto trading as their business activity is difficult (not impossible tho), and certainly not cheap but if you dont need a bank acc then its a perfect solution.

Also, to pass the entity KYC you're required to upload Proof of Wealth and Proof of Funds for the company and I dont fully understand what that means

Proof of Wealth = Where does the money come from? (Services provided by the company? Shareholder(s) capital injection? Investor(s) round?, etc)
Proof of Funds = Where the money at? (Wallet / Bank acc / etc)

do I have to open a bank account along with the company? Because most of my funds are in crypto and not in a bank account so

Not necessary.

Let's say if we incorporate in one of the jurisdictions you mentioned, will the exchanges also ask for the Beneficial Owner's KYC? If yes, then will they report to our country of residence about this account, or they don't care? (I'm from India)

Bank account would be nice but is indeed not a priority right now so I'll look into those jurisdictions. So I assume you can give binance your trading history (from personal account) as proof of wealth, and your binance account statement as proof of Funds?

Appreciate the assitance!

Also, how do you deal with the proof-of-adress for the "Operating Address" since you dont actually have an office there?

Of course

If yes, then will they report to our country of residence about this account, or they don't care? (I'm from India)

crypto exchanges have no reporting obligations (for now), although MiCA is coming to the EU soon.
Not sure if India has any regulations RE this, but its very easy to have another residency in place so you get reported elsewhere (if needed)

yeah, if you made the bag* at Binance then its perfect cause they can verify it themselves.

Hi, I have the same issue as you. Were you able to find out a way to fulfill this? Thanks!

If you really want to establish a company with this activity and avoid future issues such as opening bank accounts and other financial services for your company, I would personally suggest setting up the company in a reputable country where the banks are cooperative, and where you can obtain all the documents you need to run a clean and stable business.

In this regard, I can only recommend Switzerland as the best destination. It’s not cheap, God forbid, but it is stable, and you will never have problems presenting yourself as a company in Switzerland. In the realm of crypto, it is completely endorsed.

I don't know but what about Cyprus and Estonia don't they allow for licensed crypto trading?
