XReg Consulting

What XReg Consulting does

XReg Consulting is a Gibraltar-incorporated (company number 118846) public policy and regulatory affairs consultancy specializing in cryptoassets, founded in 2019 and led by a team of former policymakers and financial regulators. The firm advises private-sector clients — crypto businesses, token issuers, and financial institutions engaged with crypto — on regulatory compliance, licensing, and authorization, alongside public-sector clients — governments, regulators, and public authorities — on policy formulation, supervisory capacity building, and AML/CFT frameworks.

The service portfolio comprises five advisory practice areas (MiCA Services, Americas Services, DeFi Services, Private Sector Services, Public Sector Services) plus the MiCA Standards and Guidelines Tracker, a tool that monitors ESMA and EBA technical standards under MiCA. Engagements are delivered through three revenue streams: project-based consulting (with MiCA authorization applications typically running 6+ months), structured training programs (MiCA training for EU regulators typically delivered over 3 days), and ongoing monthly retainer arrangements for compliance support. Marketing is thought-leadership driven via articles, reports, webinars, newsletters, and industry events.

The firm scaled internationally in September 2022 by establishing wholly-owned entities in The Bahamas, Cayman Islands, and the United Kingdom, and has extended operational reach into the UAE and El Salvador. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; no revenue, funding rounds, or external institutional investment are reported in the source materials.
