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").

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.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-19, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law.

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.

As a cryptocurrency fund manager in Massachusetts, your operational continuity is paramount amidst market volatility and regulatory scrutiny from the SEC and FinCEN. A specialized Power of Attorney ensures that a qualified agent can manage wallet access, execute smart contracts, and handle staking rewards should you become unavailable. This document is tailored to the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code and local data privacy laws (M.G.L. ch. 93H), providing your agent the authority to navigate unique industry liabilities like custody risk and tax compliance without triggering Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act (Chapter 93A) violations during critical fund liquidations.
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
The document includes a specific 'Powers Granted' clause that extends to digital assets, allowing your agent to interface with cold storage providers and multisig wallets. Given the custody risks highlighted by the SEC's Investment Advisers Act of 1940, this ensures your agent has the legal standing to maintain secure methods of asset storage and insurance coverage during your absence.
Yes. If your agent is a business partner or employee, the document recognizes the limitations set by Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 149, § 24L. It ensures that any delegation of authority does not inadvertently violate state-specific non-compete reforms or wage theft prevention statutes (M.G.L. ch. 149, § 148) when managing fund staff.
Yes, our template allows you to grant specific authority for the agent to manage compliance under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). This is crucial for Massachusetts fund managers who must maintain registration as RIAs or MSBs while navigating evolving token classification standards.
To be valid under Massachusetts law, the principal must have legal capacity at the time of execution. The document must be signed by the principal, typically notarized, and witnessed to prevent disputes and satisfy MGL requirements regarding the authentication of legal instruments.
