KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent").

The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times.

The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.

Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney.

As a Cryptocurrency Fund Manager in Colorado, your operational continuity is paramount amidst market volatility and strict regulatory oversight from the SEC and CFTC. Managing digital assets involves unique custody risks and cold storage protocols that require immediate action if you are unavailable. This specific Power of Attorney (POA) ensures that an authorized agent can manage smart contract interactions, oversee staking, and maintain Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance without disruption. By incorporating Colorado-specific compliance like the Colorado Consumer Protection Act and non-compete restrictions under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-2-113, this document protects your fund’s fiduciary integrity and ensures that investor redemptions and tax obligations are handled according to your precise tokenomics and fund strategies.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Cryptocurrency Fund Manager:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Market Volatility Risk
Use of detailed risk disclosures in fund documents explaining the nature of cryptocurrency volatility to investors.
Regulatory Compliance Risk
Yes, provided you clearly define these in the 'Powers Granted' clause. For cryptocurrency funds, it is critical to specify authority over private keys, wallet access, and interaction with DeFi smart contracts to mitigate custody risks and ensure the agent can respond to market volatility effectively.
Colorado law strictly limits non-compete agreements. If your agent is an executive or management personnel, the document must be drafted to respect these statutory restrictions while still protecting your fund's trade secrets and proprietary trading algorithms as permitted by Colorado law.
While the POA grants authority, your agent remains bound by the same fiduciary responsibilities and conflict of interest disclosures required by the SEC. We recommend including specific instructions regarding the agent's duty to maintain your fund's RIA status and provide the necessary pay transparency under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-5-201.
Your 'Durational Provision' and 'Powers Granted' clauses should specifically address emergency liquidation terms. This empowers your agent to manage investor redemptions and execute fund liquidation strategies in compliance with the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) during periods of extreme volatility.
