3.1 Upon your registration and the activation of your Account, you will be able to deposit the Accepted Cryptocurrencies into your Account by sending the Accepted Cryptocurrencies to the respective deposit addresses for each respective Accepted Cryptocurrency which we will provide to you. You will be required to deposit Bitcoins into your Account before you can proceed to engage in Cryptocurrency Trading or trading in Derivatives on the Website.

3.2 Your Funds which are deposited in your Account will be stored on an encrypted offline computer which runs on a Linux operating system. Coinut has implemented the necessary security protocols for the storage, withdrawal and the processing of transactions in relation to the Funds in your Account to ensure its security.

(a) In light of the aforementioned security safeguards which Coinut has implemented, you acknowledge and agree that Coinut has taken all reasonable efforts to ensure the security of your Funds. Accordingly, you agree not to hold Coinut liable for any failure, losses or damages which may arise due to matters beyond its reasonable control.

Trading in the Binary Options, Options or Futures and/or Cryptocurrency Trading on the Website

4.1 If your Account has been opened and activated, and you have sufficient Funds in your Account, you will be able to offer to trade the Options, Binary Options and/or Futures, and/or engage on Cryptocurrency Trading with other Members on the Website.

4.2 To open or close a trade on the Website, you must submit an Order. Once you have submitted an Order we will attempt to match your Order with a Member on the Website that wishes to take the other end of the trade. We are under no obligation to accept or match any order submitted by you, and we maintain discretion over whether any order is accepted, matched, or executed. There will be no contract between you and another Member until the proposed trade has been matched and approved by us.

4.3 Counterparties:

(a) If your Order is successfully matched with another Member, and we do not exercise our discretion to prevent that Order, this Member will become your counterparty (your “Counterparty”) in that trade. This will result in a bilateral, spot contract (for Spots) and/or derivative contract (for Derivatives) between you and your Counterparty. Coinut therefore does not serve as a central counterparty in such trades entered into with another Counterparty on the Website. Notwithstanding the above, Coinut reserves the right to trade on the Website as a Counterparty.

(b) We match all Members anonymously and do not provide Members with information about their Counterparties.

4.4 Calculation of the XBTCUSD and/or Coinut’s trading engine

(a) The XBTCUSD is an index which is based on the weighted average USD value of a number of designated established Bitcoin exchanges (“Established Bitcoin Exchanges”). The Bitcoin prices for each Established Bitcoin Exchange and the weightage to be given to each Established Bitcoin Exchange are updated in real-time. Further details of the calculation mechanism for the XBTCUSD can be found at https://help.coinut.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001364868-How-is-the-Bitcoin-index-XBTCUSD-calculated-.

(b) In relation to XBTCUSD, you acknowledge and agree that there is a potential risk in the calculation of the Bitcoin prices. Accordingly, Coinut endeavours to keep its XBTCUSD index frequently updated in real-time to ensure that the Bitcoin index value of XBTCUSD will be generally a good representation of the prevailing value of a Bitcoin (in terms of United States Dollars). Notwithstanding the above, you acknowledge and agree that Coinut shall not be held liable for any claims, losses or damages arising as result of any reliance on the Bitcoin index value of XBTCUSD, which cannot be attributed to Coinut’s conduct or which are due to matters beyond Coinut’s reasonable control (e. any external hacking of the servers responsible for calculating the Bitcoin index value of XBTCUSD, any service disruptions of the aforesaid servers which are beyond the reasonable control of Coinut, any market manipulation of Bitcoin prices on Established Bitcoin Exchanges).

4.5 Measures against Default

(a) If you are trading in Derivatives, you will need to deposit enough Initial Margin in order to open Orders.

(b) If you are selling Binary Options, you will not be able to withdraw from your Account such amount of Bitcoins which have been reserved so as to ensure that you have enough Usable Margin to cover your maximum potential losses from selling the aforesaid Binary Options.

(i) You will need to deposit enough Funds as an Initial Margin in order to open Orders or Positions. The applicable margin requirements for Options and Futures are set out at https://help.coinut.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001213287-What-is-the-margin-requirement-.

(ii) We will consistently monitor and adjust each Member’s Margin Level in real-time. In the event that a Member’s Margin Level is within the Margin Warning Level (i.e. below 100% but above 80%) the Member’s Positions will not be affected, but Coinut will send a Margin Warning to the Member via email. In the event that a Member’s Margin Level is within the Margin Call Level, the system shall immediately cancel the Member’s Orders and liquidate his/her Positions using market orders. Futures Positions will be liquidated first, prior to Option Positions. Positions will be liquidated in an incremental manner in order to minimise the Positions which will be liquidated.

(iii) In the event that there is insufficient liquidity for a Member’s Position to be liquidated in a timely manner, a Member may lose more than his/her Equity. In this case, pursuant to Clause 4.5(e), Coinut will first use the Insurance Fund to cover the default amount (i.e. the amount of losses not covered by the Member’s Equity). Subsequently, Coinut shall initiate the Socialised Loss Scheme in respect of any outstanding default amount which the Insurance Fund is unable to cover.

(iv) It is your responsibility to constantly monitor your Margin Level and to ensure that you have sufficient Usable Margin. If this is not the case, it is your responsibility to immediately deposit additional Bitcoins into your Account and/or to cancel open Orders in the Derivatives such that you have sufficient Usable Margin.

(d) Further details on the Margin Level and the margin requirements can be found at https://help.coinut.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001213287-What-is-the-margin-requirement- & https://help.coinut.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000685268-How-do-you-handle-default-risk-.

(e) Coinut has implemented an Insurance Fund which will cover the aggregate Total Default Amount of the Members. If the Insurance Fund is insufficient to cover the aggregate Total Default Amount of the Members, Coinut will initiate the Socialised Loss Scheme wherein the remaining outstanding Total Default Amount of the Members (i.e. which is not covered by the Insurance Fund) shall be distributed to all the Members whom have made a net profit from closed and expired Positions, in respect of Options and Futures. For the avoidance of doubt, the Insurance Fund and Socialised Loss Scheme shall only apply in respect of Futures and Options, but not Spots and Binary Options. Further details on the Insurance Fund can be found at

4.7 Generally, trading on the Website will trade continuously from 00:01 to 24:00 UTC on every day of the year. We may suspend trading and/or access to the Website at any time for system maintenance or for other reasons such as maintaining an orderly market.

4.8 Suspension of Trading: As it shall be Coinut’s responsibility to maintain an orderly market, Coinut shall be entitled at its sole and absolute discretion to suspend trading on the Website, in the event of any market disruption or any other relevant external events which may disrupt the trading on the Website (i.e. hacking of the Website). In the event of such suspension of trading, you agree that Coinut shall not be held liable for any claims, losses or damages arising as a result of any suspension of trading on the Website pursuant to this Clause 4.8.
