What is the legal status of a p2p fee taking App for matching bitcoin sellers/buyers?

3

I want to make an App in the US which would help bitcoin sellers to find buyers for cash in a local area. The app would not hold any bitcoin fund, it would only serve as a tool for buyers/sellers to meet each other, and do some transaction broadcasting/verifying.

Also, I want to monetize the application, by enforcing the users to pay a fee in order for the transaction to go through. All of this without holding any funds, thanks to P2SH transactions. I would like to know if this model of application has to comply with AML/KYC rules, or if the users can stay anonymous.

2asking for legal advice from someone not your lawyer is always a dicey proposition. I would suggest you seek counsel.Jimmy Song 2016-12-17T00:51:23.807

Every country in the world has its own laws (as do states within countries, etc). You are effectively asking several hundred different questions here. Can you narrow it down?Nate Eldredge 2016-12-17T01:41:26.263

@renlord Bitsquare works as decentralized organisation, and is not a company, so they can't be taken down I suppose.JeremK 2016-12-17T10:11:21.463

@JimmySong Thanks, I will try to find someone with some knowledge about the subject.JeremK 2016-12-17T10:13:36.827
