2. Crypto-to-Fiat Exchange
Upon completion of the registration and identity verification for your Capital Wallet Account, you may conduct Crypto-to-crypto / Crypto-to-Fiat/ Crypto-to-Stablecoin Trading on Capital Wallet in accordance with the provisions of these Terms. Users may submit a request to convert one digital asset into another or exchange fiat currency for a digital asset (or vice versa), depending on available trading pairs.

- To request a conversion, users must place a market order specifying the type and amount of the asset they wish to convert.

- Capital Wallet retains the right to accept or reject any conversion request at its sole discretion, depending on market conditions and other relevant factors. If a request is accepted, the agreed-upon price and asset amounts will be honored, and the converted assets will be credited to the user's account.

Capital Wallet may collaborate with liquidity providers to facilitate fiat settlement for merchants who choose to convert cryptocurrency payments into fiat currency. By using this service, you acknowledge that Capital Wallet may select liquidity providers at its discretion, and you accept their involvement in the conversion and settlement process without object.
4. Custody and Administration of Crypto-Assets (MiCAR Art. 75)
Custody Agreement — MiCAR Art. 75(1). By accepting these Terms, the Client enters into a standardized custody agreement with Capital Wallet in accordance with Article 75(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR). These Terms, taken as a whole, constitute the written agreement between Capital Wallet and the Client governing the custody and administration of crypto-assets, and contain the minimum content required by Article 75(1) MiCAR, including: (a) identification of the parties (Sections I and III); (b) the nature and description of the custody services (this Section V.4 and Section XIII); (c) the duties and responsibilities of Capital Wallet, including segregation measures and insolvency protection (Sections XIII and XVIII); (d) the means by which the Client accesses, controls and recovers the crypto-assets in custody and the related recovery policy (Sections XIII and XIV); (e) the security systems employed (Section XIII and Document 4 / Document 15 of the regulatory dossier); (f) the fee structure (Section XV); (g) the liability of Capital Wallet under Article 75(8) MiCAR (Sections VI, XIII and XVIII); and (h) the communication channels and customer identity verification system (Section XIV). A plain-language summary of the custody policy is provided in Section XIII (Custody Policy Summary — MiCAR Art. 75(3)). The detailed Custody Policy is made available to the Client upon request at no charge.
Capital Wallet provides custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients through the qualified sub-custodian BitGo Europe GmbH (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), an institution authorised by BaFin and certified to SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001. Clients' crypto-assets are held in omnibus wallets per crypto-asset, with segregation between Capital Wallet's proprietary holdings and client holdings effected at on-chain level (separate wallet addresses) and within Capital Wallet's internal ledger (unique Customer ID per client). Custody is supported by insurance coverage of USD 250,000,000 provided through Lloyd's of London and Munich Re via BitGo.
Capital Wallet does not use client crypto-assets for its own account. The Company does not engage in proprietary trading, rehypothecation, lending, or use of client assets as collateral. The terms governing custody are set out in the Custody Agreement signed between you and Capital Wallet, and are further summarised in Section XIII (Custody Policy Summary) of these Terms.
5. Execution of Orders (MiCAR Art. 78)
Capital Wallet executes orders for crypto-assets on behalf of its clients in accordance with its Order Execution Policy (forming part of Document 4 of the regulatory dossier). The Order Execution Policy applies the seven factors of best execution: price, costs, speed, likelihood of execution and settlement, size, nature, and conditions of custody.
Prior Consent to the Order Execution Policy — MiCAR Art. 78(3). In accordance with Article 78(3) of MiCAR, Capital Wallet shall not execute any client order unless the relevant client has given prior express consent. Capital Wallet relies on the general agreement model permitted by Article 78(3): the Client's electronic acceptance of these Terms (including this Section V.5) at onboarding through a single confirmation mechanism constitutes the Client's prior express consent both to the Order Execution Policy generally and specifically to the off-venue execution model described below in this Section. The acceptance is recorded with a timestamp, IP address, user identifier and document version in an immutable audit log retained for at least seven (7) years. Where Capital Wallet materially amends the Order Execution Policy or its off-venue execution model, the Client is notified at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance and is required to re-accept the updated Terms before any further order may be submitted; failure to re-accept shall block the submission of further orders until renewed acceptance is given. A confirmation screen displayed prior to the execution of each order may, as a matter of best practice, reiterate the off-venue nature of execution and identify the counterparty, but such per-transaction information is provided for transparency only and is not required for the validity of the Client's prior consent.
By accepting these Terms at onboarding, you hereby provide your prior express consent to the Order Execution Policy of Capital Wallet, both for the execution of orders on any trading platform (where applicable) and for the execution of orders outside a regulated trading venue (off-venue, including through third-party regulated liquidity providers and OTC bilateral arrangements where Capital Wallet acts as principal). You acknowledge and accept that Capital Wallet does not operate a trading platform under MiCAR Article 76, and that all orders are accordingly executed off-venue. You may withdraw such consent at any time by notice through the Capital Wallet portal or by email to [email protected], with the consequence that Capital Wallet shall no longer be permitted to execute your orders until renewed consent is given by re-accepting these Terms.
Capital Wallet does not accept inducements (monetary or non-monetary) in return for routing client orders to specific execution venues. Specific client instructions may prevent Capital Wallet from achieving the best possible result for the elements covered by those instructions; this risk is hereby brought to your attention as required by MiCAR Art. 78(1) subparagraph 2. Capital Wallet shall, upon your written request, demonstrate that it has executed your orders in accordance with its Order Execution Policy and shall make available evidence of the compliance of any specific execution with such Policy within five (5) business days of receipt of the request.
6. Reception and Transmission of Orders (MiCAR Art. 80)
Where Capital Wallet receives orders from you that are not executed by Capital Wallet itself, the Company transmits such orders promptly and accurately to a third-party crypto-asset service provider or trading platform for execution, in accordance with the Order Reception and Transmission Policy (forming part of Document 4 of the regulatory dossier). Capital Wallet does not accept inducements for the routing of orders. Capital Wallet does not misuse information relating to pending client orders, in accordance with MiCAR Art. 80(3).
7. Transfer Services and Travel Rule Compliance (MiCAR Art. 82 — Regulation (EU) 2023/1113)
Capital Wallet provides transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients, excluding electronic money tokens (EMTs). Each transfer is executed in accordance with Capital Wallet's Transfer Services Policy and the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR — Regulation (EU) 2023/1113). For every transfer, Capital Wallet collects and transmits the originator and beneficiary information required under Articles 14-16 TFR, including, depending on the value and the type of counterparty, the originator's and beneficiary's name, account identifier, address or official personal document number, customer identification number or date and place of birth.
By using Capital Wallet's transfer services, you authorise Capital Wallet to collect, process, and transmit the required Travel Rule information to the beneficiary's crypto-asset service provider and to receive such information from the originator's crypto-asset service provider. For transfers to or from self-hosted wallets equal to or above EUR 1,000, Capital Wallet performs enhanced due diligence and may request additional verification (e.g., proof of wallet ownership, blockchain analytics screening) before executing the transfer.

2. Disclaimer of Damages and Limitation of Liability

This Section constitutes the summary of Capital Wallet's custody policy that is provided to clients in clear, concise, and non-technical language, in accordance with Article 75(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR). A copy of the full Custody Policy is available upon written request to [email protected], free of charge, within five (5) business days. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that you have received and read this Custody Policy Summary.
Who holds your crypto-assets: Your crypto-assets are held in custody by Capital Wallet through its qualified sub-custodian, BitGo Europe GmbH, a German institution authorised by BaFin and certified under SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001. Capital Wallet remains fully responsible to you for the safekeeping of your assets.
How your assets are protected:Your crypto-assets are stored using a combination of cold storage (offline, in hardware security modules — HSMs), warm storage, and hot wallets with multi-signature 2-of-3 and Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. At least 95% of total assets under custody are kept in cold storage. The custody system is supported by an insurance policy of USD 250,000,000 underwritten by Lloyd's of London and Munich Re, covering crime, employee dishonesty, and physical loss.
Segregation from Capital Wallet's own assets: Your crypto-assets are kept legally and operationally separate from Capital Wallet's own assets. They are held in omnibus wallets shared with other clients (one wallet per crypto-asset), and segregation between clients is maintained through Capital Wallet's internal ledger, where each client has a unique customer identifier and balance. On-chain, the omnibus wallets are entirely separate from any wallet holding Capital Wallet's own funds.
Your funds (fiat money) are deposited in a segregated client account at Optima Bank S.A. by the end of the business day following receipt (T+1). Capital Wallet never uses your funds or your crypto-assets for its own account — no proprietary trading, no lending, no rehypothecation, no use as collateral for Capital Wallet's obligations.
Insolvency protection: In the event Capital Wallet becomes insolvent or is wound up, your crypto-assets and your funds do not form part of the insolvency estate of Capital Wallet (MiCAR Art. 75(7) and Greek law). They remain your property and will be returned to you in an orderly process under Capital Wallet's Wind-down Plan.
How you access and withdraw your crypto-assets: You may withdraw your crypto-assets at any time through the Capital Wallet portal, subject to identity verification (multi-factor authentication), address whitelisting with a 24-hour cooling-off period for new addresses, anti-fraud screening, and blockchain analytics checks. Standard withdrawals are processed within 1 hour (hot wallet) or within 24-48 hours (cold storage). Withdrawal limits apply: retail clients up to EUR 10,000 per 24-hour period (EUR 50,000 monthly); corporate clients up to EUR 100,000 per 24-hour period, with pre-approval required for transactions of EUR 50,000 or more.
Your rights linked to your crypto-assets: While your crypto-assets are held in custody, Capital Wallet does not exercise governance or voting rights, does not participate in airdrops, and does not provide staking services on your behalf. Should you wish to participate in such activities, you must withdraw your crypto-assets to a wallet under your own control. In the event of a hard fork, Capital Wallet recognises only the dominant chain (based on hashrate, market capitalisation, and ecosystem support); if you wish to claim tokens on a minority chain, you must withdraw before the fork date.
In case of loss. Capital Wallet is fully liable for loss of crypto-assets caused by an incident attributable to it or to its sub-custodian, in accordance with MiCAR Art. 75(8). In such case, you will be notified within 24 hours and compensated through the insurance coverage referred to above or, where necessary, from Capital Wallet's own funds. Capital Wallet shall advance compensation where required so that you are not burdened by insurance claim timelines.
Reporting on your account: You will receive electronic account statements at least quarterly, free of charge, and at any time upon request within five (5) business days. Statements are also available on demand through the Capital Wallet portal as a self-service export.
How to contact us: For questions about custody, please contact: [email protected] (general inquiries) or [email protected] (regulatory matters). For complaints, please follow the procedure set out in Section XXII (Resolving Disputes).
Communication channels: Capital Wallet communicates with you through the following channels: (i) the Capital Wallet portal (in-app messaging and notifications); (ii) email at the address you have designated during onboarding; (iii) where applicable, registered postal mail to your verified address. You are required to keep your contact details accurate and up to date. Material notifications (including changes to these Terms, breach notifications, or wind-down notices) shall be sent both through the portal and by email. Time-sensitive notices (e.g., security alerts) may also be sent via secure mobile push notification.
Your communications to Capital Wallet must be made through: (i) the secure messaging function in the Capital Wallet portal; (ii) email to [email protected] (general matters) or [email protected] (regulatory and AML matters); or (iii) registered postal mail to Capital Wallet Greece Single-Member SA, Leoforos Vouliagmenis 580, 16452 Argyroupoli, Athens, Greece. Capital Wallet shall acknowledge receipt of substantive communications within two (2) business days and provide a substantive response within ten (10) business days, except where a longer period is justified.
Identity verification system: Capital Wallet uses an electronic Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Know-Your-Business (KYB) system operated through its onboarding partner Sumsub Tech Ltd. (Cyprus, EU), certified under ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Identity verification involves: (i) capture of an officially recognised identity document (ID card, passport, or driving licence); (ii) facial biometrics with liveness detection; (iii) verification of residential address (utility bill or bank statement no older than 3 months); (iv) screening against international sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEP) databases, and adverse media sources; and (v) for corporate clients, additional verification of beneficial owners (UBOs) and corporate documentation.
Ongoing identity verification: Capital Wallet performs ongoing monitoring of client identification data, including periodic re-verification, transaction monitoring, and re-screening against sanctions and PEP lists. You undertake to provide updated information and supporting documentation upon request within ten (10) business days, in accordance with Greek Law 4557/2018 (AML/CFT) and applicable EU directives. Failure to provide updated information may result in the suspension or termination of your account.
Authentication: For each login and for each transaction above defined thresholds, Capital Wallet enforces multi-factor authentication (MFA) using a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) authenticator app, a FIDO2 security key, or an equivalent second-factor mechanism. You undertake to safeguard your authentication credentials and to notify Capital Wallet immediately at [email protected] in case of suspected compromise.
Capital Wallet's fees and charges (including trading fees, custody fees, withdrawal network fees, conversion spreads, and any third-party fees passed on to you) are published in advance on the Capital Wallet website (https://www.capitalwallet.gr/fees) and within the Capital Wallet portal. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge having reviewed the applicable fee schedule. Capital Wallet shall notify you of any material change to its fee schedule at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the change becoming effective, by email and through the portal. Retail consumers shall have the right to terminate the contractual relationship without penalty before the new fee schedule becomes effective.
Capital Wallet does not impose hidden charges. All fees applicable to a transaction are disclosed before the transaction is confirmed. Capital Wallet does not accept or pay inducements in return for the routing of client orders to specific execution venues, in line with MiCAR Articles 78(5) and 80(2).
Investment in or use of crypto-assets involves significant risks. By using Capital Wallet Services, you acknowledge and accept the following risks, in particular:
(i) Price volatility. The value of crypto-assets may fluctuate substantially and rapidly. You may lose the entire amount you have invested or transferred. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
(ii) Liquidity risk. Some crypto-assets may have limited liquidity, which may prevent prompt sale or transfer at a reasonable price, particularly during periods of market stress.
(iii) Technological and cybersecurity risk. Blockchain networks, smart contracts, custodial infrastructure, and crypto-asset wallets may be subject to bugs, vulnerabilities, hacking, key compromise, denial-of-service attacks, or other technological failures, despite the security measures employed by Capital Wallet and BitGo.
(iv) Regulatory and legal risk. The legal status of crypto-assets varies across jurisdictions and is evolving. Changes in laws or regulations (including tax laws under DAC8 — Directive (EU) 2023/2226) may adversely affect the value, transferability, or usability of crypto-assets.
(v) Forks, airdrops, and protocol risks. Crypto-asset networks may undergo forks (hard or soft), airdrops, or other protocol-level events that may affect your holdings. Capital Wallet's policy in such cases is described in Document 4 of the regulatory dossier and is summarised in Section XIII.
(vi) Operational and counterparty risk. Despite all measures taken, Capital Wallet's services may be affected by operational failures, including failures of third-party providers (BitGo, Sumsub, Stackflow Technologies, cloud infrastructure). Capital Wallet maintains business continuity and exit strategies, but service interruptions remain possible.
(vii) No deposit guarantee for crypto-assets. Crypto-assets held in custody by Capital Wallet are not covered by the Greek Deposit Guarantee Scheme or any equivalent national or EU scheme. However, MiCAR insolvency protection applies (see Section XVIII). Client fiat funds held in a segregated client account at a credit institution benefit from that institution's Deposit Guarantee Scheme up to EUR 100,000 per depositor in accordance with Directive 2014/49/EU.
(viii) Crypto-assets are not legal tender. Crypto-assets are not legal tender or fiat currency and are not backed by any government, central bank, or other authority.

(iv) collects and transmits originator and beneficiary information for crypto-asset transfers in accordance with the Travel Rule (TFR Articles 14-16);
(v) reports information on reportable users (tax residents in the EU and certain third countries) to the Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue (Α.Α.Δ.Ε.) in accordance with Directive (EU) 2023/2226 (DAC8 — Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework). You agree that Capital Wallet may collect, process, and share such information with the Α.Α.Δ.Ε. and, indirectly, with the tax authorities of the country of your tax residence.
You undertake to provide truthful, accurate, and complete information at onboarding and throughout the relationship, and to update such information without delay in case of changes (including changes of tax residence). Failure to do so may result in the suspension or termination of your account and in regulatory or legal consequences.
In accordance with Article 75(7) of MiCAR and applicable Greek insolvency law, all crypto-assets held by Capital Wallet on your behalf shall be deemed separate from Capital Wallet's own assets and shall not form part of Capital Wallet's insolvency estate in the event of insolvency, restructuring, or liquidation. Client fiat funds held in segregated client accounts at credit institutions enjoy equivalent protection.
In the event of orderly wind-down, your crypto-assets shall be returned to you through the procedure set out in Capital Wallet's Wind-Down Plan, namely: Phase 1 (Customer Notification, Weeks 1-2); Phase 2 (Voluntary Withdrawal Window, Weeks 3-16, during which you withdraw your crypto-assets to a wallet of your choosing or to an alternative authorised CASP); and Phase 3 (Bulk Transfer, Weeks 17-24, during which any remaining assets are transferred to an escrow arrangement or to a designated alternative custodian under the supervision of the liquidator). Crypto-assets shall in no circumstance be used to satisfy claims of Capital Wallet's general creditors.
In addition to the statutory insolvency protection, Capital Wallet's sub-custodian BitGo Europe GmbH carries insurance coverage of USD 250,000,000 underwritten by Lloyd's of London and Munich Re. The sole shareholder of Capital Wallet has also undertaken a commitment to provide additional capital injection of up to EUR 100,000 should the capital adequacy ratio of Capital Wallet fall below 120% of the minimum regulatory requirement (Class 2: EUR 125,000).

Where a conflict of interest cannot be sufficiently mitigated to prevent the risk of damage to your interests, Capital Wallet shall disclose the nature and sources of the conflict to you before undertaking the relevant transaction or service.
Specifically, Capital Wallet has identified the outsourcing of custody services to BitGo Europe GmbH as a potential source of conflicts (e.g., concentration risk, pricing transparency, exclusivity). The Company has assessed and mitigated these conflicts through: (i) independent verification that no ownership or affiliation exists between BitGo and Capital Wallet's shareholder or directors; (ii) maintenance of a list of pre-vetted alternative custodians (Komainu, Bitstamp Custody, Fireblocks Custody); (iii) annual review of BitGo's pricing and performance; and (iv) compliance with the conditions of MiCAR Article 75(8) governing sub-custody. The full Conflicts of Interest Policy is available on request.
