ITO License
Covers public offerings of digital tokens. FSC reviews the whitepaper, investor protection mechanisms, and AML/CFT compliance framework. A GBC1 structure is required for the issuing entity. The ITO framework provides regulatory certainty for compliant token fundraising activities.
Stablecoin Issuer License
