Digital Assets Advisory
We advise corporations and governments on the digital asset revolution, from navigating global regulations to leveraging digital assets on balance sheets, asset tokenization, and the geopolitical impact of state-backed digital currencies.
Digital Money Is Re-Shaping The World
Regulatory Navigation & Compliance

- Advising on interoperability, smart contract frameworks, and integration with traditional finance systems.
Geopolitical Risk & CBDC Impact Assessment

Special Projects
AIMING AT WORLD DOMINATION
In the world of great powers competition, Klecha & Co. and R&R discuss the role of technology in shaping future geopolitical developments, and the opportunity that Europe has to affirm its potential role, between the incumbent hegemon (the US) and the rising power (China).
COLD WAR II
The world is experiencing a geopolitical recession, characterised by a phenomenon of gradual de-globalisation and balkanisation of global supply chains.
Technology Fast-Tracking a Multifaceted European Integration
The European integration process has been characterized by a series of setbacks, which have then been followed by important advances.
Towards a tech-driven Cold War
There might, hypothetically, be a clear winner of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”. AI systems and 5G technology are surely the revolution’s two key enablers,and the first mover – the first to successfully implement these systems on a large and sophisticated scale – will certainly gain a competitive advantage over others.
