In accordance with Coinotag, Cayman Islands foundation company registrations have surged 70% year-on-year, reaching over 1,300 by the end of 2024, driven by decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) seeking legal wrappers for compliance and liability protection. New registrations exceeded 400 in 2025, with at least 17 foundations managing treasuries over $100 million, according to Cayman Finance. These structures allow DAOs to handle contracts, IP, and regulatory interactions without exposing tokenholders to personal risks. The growth is attributed to the need for legal certainty amid evolving regulations, including the upcoming 2026 Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) rules.
