Why this grade
- ✗
Regulation
AML registrations only, no prudential license — Swiss SRO PolyReg membership (AML oversight, not a FINMA license) plus VASP registrations in Italy (OAM) and Spain. CRITICAL — no MiCA CASP license; since July 1, 2026 the platform runs in "limited operations" mode in the EU, not onboarding new European clients, and is absent from the ESMA CASP register.

- ✗
Proof-of-Reserves
No independent proof-of-reserves and no public financial statements. Marketing points to custody infrastructure (Ledger Vault, Fireblocks) instead, which says nothing about reserves or solvency. Source →
- ✗
Flexible withdrawal
Nominally a no-lock Yield account, but in practice there are recurring complaints (including through 2026) about multi-week withdrawal freezes pending repeat KYC/AML checks; the platform reserves the right to cancel transactions. Source 1 → Source 2 →
- ✗
Insurance Fund
The $150M policy via Ledger Vault (Lloyd's) covers private-key theft — a crime/custody policy, NOT deposit insurance. It is pooled across all Ledger Vault clients, so the limit may fall short in a major incident. Source →
- ✗
Track record (2+ years incident-free)
2019 data breach: 86M records with unencrypted card data (CVV included) on a passwordless server — while the company publicly downplayed it. Survived the 2022 crisis without bankruptcy (a plus), but the withdrawal-freeze complaint pattern continues into 2026. Source 1 → Source 2 →
