Risk Flags & Notes
TENSION TO FLAG ON ANY PAGE: best-in-class copy product, incomplete licensing. Strongest single authorisation is the El Salvador CNAD DASP licence, which covers derivatives, staking and yield. Publishes monthly Merkle-tree Proof of Reserves; Protection Fund stated at $300m+. Saskatchewan FCAA issued a not-registered notice in July 2025.
