Custody & Safeguarding Disclosure
Last updated: 14.10.2025
1. Purpose
This Custody & Safeguarding Disclosure (“Disclosure”) explains how client digital assets are held and safeguarded when using the ClickOptions platform and/or website (the “Platform and/or the Website”). It forms part of the Terms of Service.
2. Third-Party Custody
- ClickOptions does not directly hold client assets.
- All digital assets deposited on the Platform and/or the Website are safeguarded with independent, institutional-grade custodians, which may include Fireblocks, Copper, Cobo, ClearLoop, or other comparable providers.
- These custodians are responsible for the secure storage of assets and the execution of on-chain anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Transaction (KYT) screening on deposits and withdrawals.
3. Segregation of Assets
- Client assets are held in segregated or omnibus wallets managed by custodians on behalf of ClickOptions.
- Client assets are not commingled with the Company's own operating funds.
- Segregation helps protect client funds in the event of operational issues at the Company.
4. Safeguards & Controls
- Custodians employ multi-signature wallets, hardware security modules (HSMs), and institutional risk controls to protect client assets.
- Deposits and withdrawals are subject to on-chain KYT screening to detect high-risk or sanctioned transactions.
- Suspicious transactions may be delayed, frozen, or blocked pending compliance review.
5. Risks & Limitations
While custodians use industry-leading safeguards, clients should be aware of the following risks:
- Custodian insolvency or operational failure could impact access to assets.
- Regulatory changes may affect the availability of custodial services in certain jurisdictions.
- Insurance coverage is not automatically provided unless explicitly stated. ClickOptions does not guarantee reimbursement for losses resulting from custodian failures, cyberattacks, or force majeure events.
6. Client Responsibility
- Clients are responsible for ensuring deposits originate from wallets under their lawful control and are not linked to prohibited activities.
- Clients must complete required KYC/AML verification before withdrawals can be processed.
- By depositing digital assets, you acknowledge and accept the role of custodians in safeguarding funds and performing KYT screening.
7. Updates
ClickOptions may update its custodial arrangements from time to time. A current list of custodians is available on request.
