What the supervision is not

ARIF affiliation is anti-money-laundering supervision under the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act. It is not authorisation as a bank or securities firm and carries no client-asset protection scheme. FINTRAC registration is an AML registration. Bank of Canada registration under the Retail Payment Activities Act is not a licence or an endorsement.

Each entity may act only in the jurisdictions where it is permitted to do so. Services are not available in all jurisdictions, and nothing on this website is an offer of crypto-asset services in Cyprus or elsewhere.

Risk

Digital assets are volatile; values can fall as well as rise.
