In March 2025, Fintelogy announced its Crypto-Asset Law and Compliance Management Certificate Program, to run from April 19 to June 1, 2025. Our Managing Partner Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu was part of the program’s 30+ expert faculty.
The central thesis of the program was clear: after Turkey’s crypto-asset regulation entered into force, the compliance-manager profile the industry needs requires a curriculum that brings academics, lawyers, and technical experts together.
Mümtaz’s contribution
Mümtaz contributed to the program on the crypto-specific corporate structuring strategies and investment agreements tracks — covering jurisdiction selection, holding structures, the separation between token-issuing and operating entities, fund structures, and the legal setup specific to VASP applications.
