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").

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 Michigan-based Cryptocurrency Fund Manager, your role demands navigating extreme market volatility and complex fiduciary duties under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. A Power of Attorney is a critical risk mitigation tool that ensures continuous management of wallets, cold storage access, and DeFi protocol interactions if you are unavailable. Whether you are managing assets under the $25 million threshold or are a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), our Michigan-specific template incorporates the durability provisions and standard clauses—including Principal Information, Powers Granted, and Revocation—needed to address custody risks and regulatory compliance under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act and Bullard-Plawecki disclosure requirements.
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
Inclusion of comprehensive compliance policies and procedures, periodic audits, and active engagement with legal advisors to address evolving regulations.
Under MCL 566.132, Michigan require specific agreements to be in writing. For a Cryptocurrency Fund Manager, ensuring your Power of Attorney is a written, notarized document is essential for the legal transfer of authority regarding tokenomics management or smart contract execution that may extend beyond a one-year period.
Only if explicitly defined. Within the 'Powers Granted' clause, you must specify the scope of authority over digital assets. This is vital to mitigate 'Custody Risk' and ensure your agent can act within SEC and CFTC regulatory frameworks regarding the trading of commodities and securities.
When appointing an agent who may also be an employee, you must remain mindful of the Michigan Right to Work Law (MCL 423.209) and the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act. While the POA grants authority, it does not supersede an individual's right to inspect personnel records or Michigan's prohibitions on mandatory union dues as a condition of their broader employment contract.
While the POA identifies who can act, the agent remains bound by the fund's fiduciary responsibilities, including compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and FinCEN reporting. The document should enable your agent to coordinate with tax professionals to mitigate liabilities and ensure accurate reporting of fund transactions.
