Daniel Arroche

Daniel Arroche advises numerous financial institutions, fintechs and technology companies on their strategic regulatory matters.

Daniel practices in financial and banking regulatory law, at the intersection between traditional financial services and crypto-assets.

He advises clients operating in banking, payment services, electronic money, investment services, asset management, crypto-assets and digital finance. He helps them structure, secure and develop their regulated activities.

Daniel has advised dozens of clients on their registration as Digital Asset Service Providers (DASPs) in France. He now devotes part of his practice to authorisation applications as Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) under the MiCA Regulation.

He also advises crypto players seeking to access regulatory frameworks derived from traditional finance, particularly in payment services, electronic money, investment services and financial intermediation.

More generally, Daniel advises clients on the analysis, integration and anticipation of their regulatory obligations. He works in particular on the MiCA Regulation, stablecoin issuance, tokenization, payment services, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing, governance, internal control, outsourcing and the drafting of regulatory procedures.

Daniel also advises financial institutions, fintechs and regulated players on authorisation, registration and licensing applications before the ACPR, the AMF, the ANJ and ORIAS. He notably advises payment institutions, electronic money institutions, investment firms, financial investment advisers and crowdfunding service providers.

His positioning is based on a strong conviction: for innovative businesses, regulation can become a strategic tool. It can help structure market entry, build trust with users, partners and investors, secure institutional partnerships, raise capital and create a lasting competitive edge.

Daniel regularly speaks at major corporations and French universities, including Sciences Po Paris, Paris-Panthéon-Assas University and ESSEC.

A former member of Paris Europlace, where he contributed to working groups on the regulation of ICOs and DASPs, Daniel is now fully involved in the Association for the Development of Digital Assets (ADAN).

Daniel is ranked among the most influential French lawyers in blockchain by Décideurs Magazine.
