Navigating the intersection of Texas labor laws and federal digital asset regulation requires precision. This contract addresses the unique fiduciary responsibilities of a Cryptocurrency Fund Manager under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the SEC’s ‘Howey’ test implications for tokenomics. By integrating Texas-specific provisions like the statutory requirements for non-compete enforceability under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50 and the state’s at-will employment doctrine, you mitigate risks related to market volatility, wallet custody, and regulatory shifts while protecting your fund’s proprietary smart contract strategies.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Cryptocurrency Fund Manager:

Common mistakes to avoid:
Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, non-compete agreements for fund managers must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement and include reasonable limits on time, geographical area, and scope of activity. Our template ensures that the restriction is tailored to protect your fund's specific DeFi or staking strategies without being overly broad.
The contract explicitly outlines duties under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, focusing on conflict of interest disclosures and the management of novel assets. It clarifies expectations regarding wallet access, private key management, and compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act to prevent money laundering (AML) and ensure proper asset segregation.
Yes. While Texas is an at-will state, this contract provides the necessary structure to define 'for-cause' termination related to regulatory failures or breaches of cold storage protocols. It is also drafted with an awareness of Texas Business and Commerce Code standards to ensure professional services are clearly defined, minimizing disputes over compensation and performance.
The agreement includes specific clauses regarding the employee’s responsibility for maintaining secure custody methods, such as hardware wallets and multi-signature cold storage, mitigating the fund's 'Custody Risk' as defined by current SEC and FinCEN guidance.
