That is the typical situation. We do not reconstruct documents that never existed; we gather the lawful evidence available: old bank statements, archived correspondence, platform records, blockchain history, tax and employment documents.

No. BRIDGES is not an exchange or a bureau de change, does not take digital assets into its own wallets and does not deal with a client’s assets. We run the legal, documentary, tax and banking side of the project.

No. At the first stage they are neither needed nor asked for, and within an ordinary advisory service we neither ask for nor keep them at all.

No. We prepare a compliance analysis of the history available and show which factors a bank will study more deeply. No conscientious adviser issues automatic opinions on the “cleanliness” of a wallet.

P2P is not an automatic obstacle. The question is whether a verifiable picture can be reconstructed from the operations: the counterparty, the economic basis, the movement of fiat and the link between the payment and the digital asset transaction.

The deal goes through a bank transfer, so what has to be prepared is not the sale of the asset but the whole chain: evidence of the origin, a regulated route of realisation, the arrival at the bank and the documents for the notary, the lawyer and the seller.

It depends on the rules of the particular programme, the bank and the authorised agent. That is checked before the project starts: there is no universal answer of “accepted or not”.

The time depends on the volume of the history, the number of venues and wallets and on how well the documents have survived. We give a guide after the first assessment.

That is a task of its own: we go through the request itself, settle exactly which type of evidence the bank needs and prepare the answer together with the file required.

Yes. Both are gone through separately: for mining, the period, the equipment, the expenditure, the pool records and the tax side; for staking, the original source of the asset, the protocol, the history of the rewards and their realisation.

The sanctions element is checked separately. If factors are found that make the operation impermissible, we say so directly and do not take the project on.
