The latter four countries have currently banned activities involving digital assets.

As good corporate citizens, law enforcement may request information from us, and we will assist law enforcement investigations to track down and deter illegal activity if the law allows for law enforcement investigations. This also means that our platform is only for law-abiding clients. We hope to provide you with services, and at the same time, we also hope that you can act legally and legally on our platform.
4. Our Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorist Financing Solutions
Through a risk-based multi-level control system, we have designed our anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing program to reasonably prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
The first tier of the scheme includes rigorous user identification procedures, including verifying the identities of individual and business users. . In addition to obtaining identification documents, we also obtain information on beneficial owners/natural persons of their institutions from non-natural users, which is in line with international standards such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) requirements.
The second tier includes risk-based system controls to ensure that additional customer due diligence is performed. To achieve this, we place users (including beneficial owners) on the list of agencies/persons published in the Hong Kong SAR Government Gazette, the "Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Sanctions List" and the "UN Security Council Sanctions List" and other sanctions lists. filter. We may also screen other lists at our discretion to protect our reputation and customers.
The third layer includes continuous monitoring for suspicious activity. If we suspect or have reason to suspect suspicious transaction activity, we will file a suspicious transaction activity report with local regulators, as appropriate. Often, suspicious transactions do not correspond to the customer's known legitimate business or personal day-to-day transaction activities.
The above are the main components of our compliance program. However, the most important link to these multi-layered risk control systems is our leadership team and employees, including AML/Risk personnel who perform training, oversight and develop a good compliance culture.
