With the safety of our clients’ digital assets as our number one priority, Swissquote operates state-of-the-art security systems including multi-signature wallets, offline storage of cryptographic materials and strict access-control policies. We rely on redundant custody solutions, including ours and external partners’ to store client digital assets. Only a minimal amount of digital assets are held with sub-custodians, such as those necessary for day-to-day trading activities with the relevant liquidity providers.

Swissquote Bank Europe solely uses Swissquote Bank SA, a Finma-regulated bank in Switzerland, as its digital asset custodian. Swissquote Bank SA relies primarily on its own redundant custody solutions with only a minimal amount of digital assets held by its liquidity providers acting as sub-custodians for day-to-day trading activities requirements. These liquidity providers are: Bitstamp Europe S.A. (Luxembourg), Bitstamp Limited (United Kingdom), Ltd by Coinbase Europe Limited (Ireland), Ltd and CB Payment, Ltd. (United Kingdom)

The Bancor token (BNT) is available for trading on SQX. The other cryptocurrencies, which are traded outside SQX and whose prices are determined by the relevant liquidity provider, are not affected by the changes.

While the treatment of Hard Forks and similar events (incl.
