For the purpose of complying with Anti-Money laundering laws, AStarMarkets.com
requires two different documents to verify the identity of the customer.
The first document we
require is a legal government-issued, identifying document with the picture of the customer on it. It
may be a government-issued passport, driver’s license (for countries where the driver’s license is a
primary identification document) or local ID card (no company access cards).
The second document we
require is a bill with the customer’s own name and actual address on it issued 3 months ago at the
earliest. It may be a utility bill, a bank statement, an affidavit, or any other document with the
customer’s name and address from an internationally recognized organization.
AStarMarkets also
requires a completed and physically-signed account application form to be submitted to the company.
Customers are required to submit up to date identification and contact information in a timely
manner, as soon as changes occur.
AStarMarkets implements is to ensure that customers engaging in certain activities
are identified to a reasonable standard, while minimizing the compliance burden and impact on legitimate
customers.
MONEY LAUNDERING
is the act of converting money or other monetary instruments gained from
illegal activity into money or investments that appear to be legitimate, so that its illegal source
cannot be traced. Domestic and international laws that apply to companies, whose customers can deposit
and withdraw funds from their accounts, make it illegal for AStarMarkets, or its employees or
agents, to knowingly engage, or attempt to engage in a monetary transaction of criminally derived
property.
IMPLEMENTED PROCEDURES
The objective of Anti-Money laundering procedures that AStarMarkets
implements is to ensure that customers engaging in certain activities are identified to a reasonable
standard, while minimizing the compliance burden and impact on legitimate customers. AStarMarkets is
committed to assisting governments combat the threat of money laundering and financing terrorist
activities around the world. For that purpose AStarMarkets has set up a highly sophisticated
electronic system. This system documents and verifies client identification records, and tracks and
maintains detailed records of all transactions.
AStarMarkets carefully tracks suspicious and
significant transaction activities, and reports such activities “providing timely and comprehensive
information” to law enforcement bodies. To uphold the integrity of reporting systems and to safeguard
businesses, the legislative framework provides legal protection to providers of such information.
In
order to minimize the risk of money laundering and financing terrorist activities, AStarMarkets
neither accepts cash deposits nor disburses cash under any circumstances. AStarMarkets reserves the
right to refuse to process a transfer at any stage, where it believes the transfer to be connected in
any way to money laundering or criminal activity. For the avoidance of any doubt, AStarMarkets may
detain or postpone payments for a set period of time at its own discretion. It is forbidden for
AStarMarkets to inform customers that they have been reported for suspicious activity.
Trading in any investment opportunity that may generate profit requires
AStarMarkets customers to deposit money on their online account. Profits may be withdrawn from the
online account.
DEPOSITS
You, the Client, have to perform all the deposits from a source (e.g. single bank account). If you

policy, you may be prevented from depositing the money via Bank/Wire Transfer. If you did not login and

department.

been held for more than 12 months. This means that only half of the capital gains realized upon the sale
or disposal of the cryptocurrency will be included in the client's taxable income, and will then be
taxed at the applicable income tax rate. Clients should note that if the cryptocurrency is held for less
than 12 months, the full capital gain will be taxable. For further details on the tax treatment of

19. Trading Volume.
19.1 Trading Volume Prerequisite:
Clients shall be mandated to achieve an aggregate trading volume, the quantum of which shall be
derived through an empirically determined multiplicative factor applied to the totality of all deposits
effectuated into the account. This trading volume metric shall not be construed as a fixed or static
threshold but, rather, as a dynamically calibrated and inherently fluctuating prerequisite, intricately
tied to the cumulative operational activity on the account. The establishment and maintenance of this
volume are fundamental to ensuring the structural integrity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of
the platform's operational framework.
Formula (Subject to AStarMarkets' Discretion):
Trading Volume Requirement = Deposits × 100 (or any other alternative factor as deemed appropriate
by AStarMarkets following periodic internal evaluations, market fluctuations, or specific operational
exigencies).
AStarMarkets expressly retains the unilateral discretion to modify, adjust, reinterpret, or
otherwise recalibrate the multiplicative factor or trading volume prerequisite in accordance with the
company’s internal assessments, market conditions, promotional terms, or any other variable or factor
deemed relevant under the platform’s operational discretion, including but not limited to platform
restructuring, regulatory influences, or unforeseen financial perturbations.
19.2 Temporal Limitation on Withdrawal Eligibility:
Clients shall be required to satisfy the trading volume criteria within a temporal frame not less
than 90 calendar days (3 months) subsequent to the most recent deposit, as stipulated in Section 6.1.
During this specified duration, it is incumbent upon the client to engage in trading activity consistent
with the trading volume requirement. Should the client fail to meet the prescribed trading volume within
this period, they will nonetheless be permitted to submit a withdrawal request. However, such
withdrawals will only be processed following the expiration of the 3-month period and upon meeting a
subsequent 3-month threshold recalculated as per the client’s new deposit and trading activity. In
instances where the trading volume mandate remains unmet after the designated 3-month period from the
date of the most recent deposit, clients will no longer be subject to any trading volume requirements or
other withdrawal restrictions. At the conclusion of this 3-month period, all funds within the account
shall become freely withdrawable without additional conditions, recalibrations, or holds, subject only
to standard processing times.
19.3 Volume Calculation Criteria:
The trading volume requisite shall be appraised exclusively on the basis of transactions that have
been fully and unequivocally executed, i.e., buy and sell orders that are completed, confirmed, and
valid. Any and all transactions not finalized, including but not limited to pending, canceled, partially
fulfilled, or otherwise invalidated orders, shall be excluded from the volume calculation. Furthermore,
AStarMarkets reserves the unilateral authority to disregard any transaction deemed to be non-compliant,
speculative, inauthentic, or otherwise incongruent with the platform’s policies and regulations,
irrespective of whether such transactions could otherwise contribute to the fulfillment of the trading
volume requirement.
19.4 Deferred Withdrawal Processing:
In the event that a withdrawal request is submitted prematurely—prior to fulfilling the temporal
conditions—AStarMarkets reserves the unequivocal right to:
Postpone, delay, or suspend the processing of the withdrawal request until such time as the client
has duly fulfilled both the trading volume and temporal conditions, as verified through internal
procedural assessments. Levy administrative charges or fees of non-standard nature should the client
request expedited processing, in circumstances considered exceptional or of unique nature, as determined
on a case-by-case basis by the platform’s internal review processes.
19.5 Evaluation and Verification:
AStarMarkets shall engage in periodic evaluations of the client’s trading activity to ascertain
compliance with the prescribed trading volume and temporal thresholds. However, the platform retains the
unrestricted right to amend, recalibrate, or otherwise modify these requirements, even if such
alterations are not explicitly disclosed in the initial terms, based on operational exigencies, market
dynamics, or unforeseen regulatory obligations.
19.6 Discretionary Exemptions:
AStarMarkets may, at its sole discretion and subject to strict conditions, grant exemptions to the
aforementioned withdrawal stipulations under extraordinary circumstances, such as financial emergencies
or other exceptional conditions, as deemed appropriate by the platform. All such exemptions, should they
be granted, will be contingent on substantiated evidence provided by the client and subject to the sole
discretion of AStarMarkets.
19.7 Clarity of Compliance Metrics
While AStarMarkets has taken reasonable measures to ensure that the terms contained herein are
clearly articulated, the ultimate responsibility for understanding and adhering to these terms rests
with the client. In the event of any ambiguity, dispute, or lack of clarity regarding these terms, the
internal records of AStarMarkets shall serve as the final arbiter of compliance. In addition, clients
are strongly encouraged to maintain independent records and verify their activities against the
platform's records to ensure conformity.

This policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable Anti-Money
