To put it simply, Costa Rica is often chosen precisely because of its flexibility and relatively easy entry requirements. There aren’t the same strict licensing requirements as, for example, in Europe, so projects can get off the ground faster and test their business models. When I was researching this topic myself, I came across Gofaizen & Sherle , which explains exactly how established crypto companies operate in this jurisdiction. A friend of mine took this route and said that for him, it was a way to avoid getting stuck in the registration phase and to enter the market faster. But he planned from the start that he might move to a more regulated country in the future if the project grew.
