Compliance frameworks applied to every transaction
Lawyers don't custody crypto. Exchanges don't close real estate. Banks won't touch the conversion. Brik covers the entire chain — from intake to title transfer.
Licensed crypto custody for the duration of the deal. Your BTC, ETH, or USDT is held in segregated accounts, insured where applicable, and never commingled with other assets. Funds stay in custody until closing conditions are met.
KYC on both buyer and seller. KYT on every wallet involved in the transfer. Every deal runs through the FATF Travel Rule and 6AMLD. Transactions that do not clear, do not proceed. No exceptions.
Funds are released against confirmed deed transfer. Brik coordinates directly with the buyer's legal counsel and the seller's notary. We hold until the land registry confirms the transaction is complete.
Four steps. Both parties cleared. No surprises at closing.
Engagement signed. Deal terms recorded. Brik issues the escrow instruction document covering asset type, amount, jurisdiction, and release conditions.
Both parties verified under applicable AML standards. Source of funds documented. Every wallet involved in the transfer is screened against global sanctions lists and risk databases before the deal advances.
Buyer transfers BTC, ETH, or USDT to the regulated custody account. Funds are held under the escrow terms until all closing conditions are satisfied. No release until conditions clear.
Deed transfers. Funds are released to the seller in fiat or crypto, per the terms of the agreement. Brik exits. The deal is on the register.

Brik is the licensed party that completes the purchase, legally, across four jurisdictions. You transfer to custody. We handle the rest.
BuyersYour client wants to pay in crypto. Your deal is stuck at closing because no one on the transaction chain can process the settlement. Brik runs the escrow so the deal closes, your commission clears, and you do not need to understand custody infrastructure to get there.
