Counsel, Stablecoin Regulatory

About the Role

Counsel, Stablecoin Regulatory at GoTymeX. Tyme is seeking a senior lawyer to lead regulatory strategy for stablecoin and digital asset initiatives across multiple jurisdictions. This role requires deep experience evaluating crypto and stablecoin regulatory frameworks, engaging with regulators, and assessing how stablecoin structures can operate across markets with differing licensing, reserve, issuance, custody, payments, AML/CFT, and consumer protection requirements. The ideal candidate will combine legal and regulatory expertise with strong commercial judgment, particularly in emerging markets. They should understand the practical regulatory arbitrage opportunities and constraints for stablecoins across jurisdictions, including Europe’s MiCA regime, and be capable of leading the build of a real-time regulatory intelligence capability supported by large AI models.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Tyme’s legal and regulatory analysis for stablecoin initiatives across global markets, with particular focus on emerging markets, Middle East and Europe.
• Evaluate jurisdictions for stablecoin issuance, distribution, custody, payments integration, reserve management, redemption rights, licensing obligations, capital requirements, AML/CFT expectations, sanctions compliance, data protection, and consumer protection.
• Assess regulatory arbitrage opportunities and risks across jurisdictions, including where stablecoin activity may be most efficiently structured, licensed, or partnered.
• Advise on crypto-related licensing strategy in Europe and UAE/Middle East, including requirements applicable to e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, crypto-asset service providers, issuers, custodians, exchanges, and payment-related activities.
• Engage directly with regulators, policymakers, supervisors, central banks, and financial intelligence units to explain Tyme’s stablecoin strategy, seek regulatory clarity, and support licensing or approval processes.
• Develop jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction regulatory playbooks for stablecoin deployment, including market entry requirements, permissible structures, prohibited activities, partner models, and ongoing compliance obligations.
• Work closely with product, compliance, risk, treasury, engineering, data science, and executive teams to translate regulatory requirements into operating models and product design.
• Lead the design and development of an AI-enabled regulatory intelligence platform capable of tracking, interpreting, and updating stablecoin regulatory developments in real time across multiple jurisdictions.
• Partner with technical teams to define legal taxonomies, regulatory ontologies, source hierarchies, model evaluation criteria, risk-scoring frameworks, and human-in-the-loop review processes for the AI regulatory model.
• Monitor evolving laws, enforcement actions, consultations, regulatory guidance, licensing decisions, and supervisory expectations affecting stablecoins, crypto-assets, payments, and digital money.
• Advise on partnerships with banks, licensed crypto-asset service providers, payment institutions, e-money institutions, custodians, exchanges, and infrastructure providers.
• As capacity permits, support Tyme on broader regulatory matters beyond stablecoins, including fintech, payments, digital assets, licensing, compliance, and jurisdictional market-entry issues.
