Understand the basics

Check the requirements applicable to your location, platform and asset. Company registration is not a financial services licence. Verify claims directly with the relevant regulator.

Verify before acting

Keep records of transaction times, quantities, fees, fiat values and transfer receipts. Reporting and tax treatment differ by residence. Guidance for one jurisdiction may not apply elsewhere.

Build a repeatable process

Understand withdrawal rules, custody arrangements and complaints procedures. Stop and independently investigate demands for extra payments to release frozen assets. Consult a locally qualified professional for specific legal or tax questions.
