Dear User:
Scope: This list outlines the availability and limitations of 8V’s products and services in various countries, applicable to account opening, deposits and withdrawals, trading, APIs, fiat currency access, spot trading, wealth management, staking, lending, margin trading, and derivatives.
Note: This list reflects regulatory expectations and internal compliance standards and is a continuously updated document; in case of conflict with announcements or terms, the stricter regulation shall prevail.
A. Jurisdictions where account opening or use is completely
Due to comprehensive sanctions, legal prohibitions, or 8V compliance policies, no services are provided in the following regions (account opening, deposits, trading, or withdrawals are not supported):
• United States (including its territories)
• Canada
• Netherlands; Bahamas
• Cuba; Iran; North Korea (DPRK); Syria
• Parts of Ukraine: Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, and
other regions sanctioned (non-governmental sanctions) under international sanctions: Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk (non-governmental sanctions) under national sanctions.
Important: If a user is located in or moves to the above-mentioned regions, or attempts to bypass the restrictions via VPN/proxy, 8V may restrict, freeze, or terminate the service to the extent permitted by law.
B. Jurisdictions with product
In the following regions, crypto derivatives or similar high-risk products for retail clients are restricted. 8V, in principle, defaults to closing margin/derivatives, offering only permitted basic services (such as spot trading) and adhering to local regulations:
• UK (Retail): Restrictions on the sale/marketing/distribution of crypto derivatives and certain ETNs to retail clients.
• Singapore: Strict restrictions on margin and derivatives offerings to retail clients.
• Germany, Italy, Netherlands: Historically, regulations on futures/derivatives have tightened; 8V adopts a prudent approach.
• India, Japan: Stricter regulations on licensing, marketing, and derivatives; functional availability may be reduced.
Note: “Restricted” ≠ “Prohibited”. In these regions, account opening and spot trading may be available; leverage/futures/options are closed by default, or require suitability assessment and special permission to open.
C. Dynamic and region-specific restrictions (temporary access/access constraints)
Services may be temporarily restricted due to government directives, internet blockades, changes in licensing arrangements, or payment gateway disruptions. 8V will implement dynamic controls based on local requirements, for example:
• Belgium: Historically, regulatory directives have required some platforms to cease operations; restoration is typically handled by other EU entities.
• Nigeria: To manage foreign exchange fluctuations, authorities have temporarily restricted access to some crypto platforms; platform availability fluctuates accordingly.
This section reflects fluctuations driven by external policies, not by 8V’s unilateral “restricted list”.
D. Strengthen Due Diligence (EDD) jurisdictions (account and transaction controls)
Based on the FATF high-risk/monitored list and internal risk model, 8V may implement enhanced KYC/KYB measures, proof of funds verification, higher address/transaction monitoring thresholds, and manual withdrawal verification for users in specific regions. This list is dynamic and not publicly disclosed to prevent circumvention; it is not equivalent to a complete ban.
E. Self- declaration, geoblocking, and violation handling
8V uses multi-factor geolocation and sanctions screening (IP/GPS/device fingerprint/payment data). Users must truthfully declare their place of residence, nationality, and beneficial ownership.
If bypassing (including VPN/proxy) or violating sanctions/export controls is discovered, 8V may restrict, freeze, or terminate services and take other legally permissible measures.
Users should ensure that their use of the platform complies with local laws.
Travel restrictions: Even if the place of residence is compliant, some functions (such as derivative products) may be geo-blocked when in restricted areas (including within the United States).
F. Travel Rules / Counterparty Control and Account Freezing
To comply with the “Travel Rules” and counterparty compliance requirements, incoming funds from non-compliant VASPs, or transfers that fail to provide necessary sender/recipient information, may be intercepted, frozen, or delayed until the information is provided. These measures serve sanctions/anti-money laundering/traceability obligations. Where permitted by law, incoming funds from self-owned wallets are generally not subject to the VASP-to-VASP Travel Rules.
G. Updates , Explanations, and Cross-references
This list is reviewed at least quarterly and updated in the event of significant regulatory changes. In case of conflict with the Terms of Service or local regulations, the stricter application shall prevail. If regulatory changes in a particular region affect the scope of service, we will notify you via website announcements, in-app notifications, or email.
