2.2 You agree that you may only access the Platform and/or use the Platform Services when you have been appropriately onboarded by us in accordance with our policies and procedures from time to time, and in accordance with your obligations set out in the “Your Compliance Obligations” section of the general Terms and Conditions. In particular, you acknowledge and agree that:

2.3 Where you access the Platform and/or use the Platform Services via a Third Party Platform, you understand that you will have a contractual relationship with the Third Party Platform for the services they provide to you, and a contractual relationship with us (via these Trading Terms and the other documents referred to in paragraph 1.2 above) that governs your use of the Platform Services, including where those Platform Services are provided on the Third Party Platform’s website or app, or are integrated into the Third Party Platform’s wider services.

Trading in Tokenized Assets

4.1 As defined in the Glossary, “Tokenized Asset” means a type of virtual asset representing a value connected to a selected Underlying Instrument Structure Financial currently offers a price in.

4.4 Particular Markets will have specifications and rules that apply to that Market. We retain the right to vary any of those specifications at our discretion with or without giving You notice. No change will apply to any Trade or Order current prior to the date on which the change is to become effective.

4.5 When entering into Trades in Tokenized Assets with us, you acknowledge that:

  • (A) you are trading in relation to movements in the Tokenized Asset Prices we offer rather than the actual Underlying Market prices;

  • (B) you are not acquiring the Underlying Instrument or any delivery obligations in relation to them; nor are you acquiring any of the underlying rights, warrants, obligations, voting rights, dividends or other share ownership rights. The sole exception to this is if the share of stock undergoes a share-split of any kind, your shares owned will be adjusted to match the new ratio of shares owned prior to and after the split.

  • (C) the prices of Tokenized Assets may change to your disadvantage very quickly;

  • (D) you should fully understand the risks involved in Trades in Tokenized Assets and if in doubt seek independent advice. In particular you should refer to our Terms of Service; and

4.6 When trading in Tokenized Assets you should be aware, and you acknowledge that:

  • (A) listing of a Tokenized Asset on the Trading Platform does not indicate approval or disapproval of the underlying blockchain technology regarding any Tokenized Asset and should not be used as a substitute for your own understanding of the risks specific to each Tokenized Asset;

  • (B) we give you no warranty as to the suitability of the Tokenized Asset traded under these terms and assume no fiduciary duty in our relations with you;

  • (C) Structure Financial makes no representations or warranties about whether a Tokenized Asset Traded on the Trading Platform may be traded outside of it;

  • (F) the Tokenized Assets have not been and will not be registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically under the Securities Act of 1933 and are not offered to US persons or US residents.

4.7 Other than the entitlement to purchase, hold and transfer (subject to any limitations as described in these Trading Terms) a Tokenized Asset, you agree that the Tokenized Assets will not grant you or any other person any other entitlement, in particular they will not:

  • (A) entitle you to a share in the Underlying Instrument issuer’s profits (such as, but not limited to, payment of dividends), or to exercise voting rights in relation to that issuer;

  • (B) entitle you to vote on the day-to-day business or strategic operations of the issuer of the Underlying Instrument;

  • (C) entitle you to any kind of return (whether income or profit);

  • (G) oblige any person to make a payment or entitle any person to a receive a payment.

5. The Underlying Instruments

While You do not have any entitlement to the Underlying Instrument, Structure will ensure that it holds the Underlying Instrument relevant to your Trade or Order in line with its [Tokenized Asset Policy]. This means that while you hold a Tokenized Asset, Structure will ensure that it holds the equivalent Underlying Instrument at all times.

Structure may due to circumstances outside of its control have an interruption to its ability to fully back the Tokenized Assets. During such an event, Structure will communicate to its business partners regarding the issue along with an expected resolution time frame. These event(s) may include but are not limited to hacks, disruptions with a liquidity provider, extreme market events or other unforeseen issues. Once this disruption is resolved, Structure will move to fully back the Underlying Instruments.

6. Tokenized Asset pricing

6.1 Our Tokenized Asset Prices shall be quoted on an ongoing basis and determined by reference to the price of the Underlying Instrument which is quoted by Reference Institutions on external securities exchanges or dealing facilities that we select at our discretion in line with any applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

6.2 We shall use our best efforts to ensure that Trade prices do not differ materially from the prices of Underlying Instruments made available in real time by the Reference Institutions. However, we can change or withdraw the Tokenized Asset Price at any time and in particular, can do so at any time before Your offer to Trade on that Tokenized Asset Price has been accepted.

6.3 You agree that our Tokenized Asset Prices are provided to you solely for the purpose of entering into Trades with us and you shall not rely on or use them for any other purpose.

6.4 Structure Financial shall not be liable towards you for any damage caused by erroneous pricing on a Tokenized Asset, if the error in the price was caused by errors in pricing on the Underlying Market for an Underlying Instrument or otherwise in circumstances outside Structure Financial’s control or otherwise circumstances for which Structure Financial is not reasonably responsible, subject to applicable law and regulation.

6.5 For Trades executed when the Underlying Market is closed or where there is no Underlying Market, our Tokenized Asset Price will reflect what we reasonably consider the Market Price of the Underlying Instrument is at that time.

6.6 If during Market Hours a Tokenized Asset Price is not available on the Website for any particular Market you should contact us to obtain a quote.

6.7 Subject to any legal or regulatory obligation on us;

  • (A) our Tokenized Asset Prices and how we calculate them are determined in our absolute discretion and any changes are

  • (B) we provide quotes for Tokenized Asset Prices on a best-efforts basis. If a Market Disruption Event or an Event Outside of Our Control occurs, we may not be able to provide a quote for Our Price or execute Trades during Market Hours;

  • (C) for Tokenized Assets with market execution “market order”, prices shown in the Account should be deemed as indicative and it is not guaranteed that the Client will deal at this quotation. The price of your Order execution will be based on the best price which Structure Financial can offer at the particular moment without obtaining any additional confirmation from you. The current price of a Tokenized Asset with market execution at which the Trade is concluded will be reported back by Structure Financial. The price of a concluded Trade will be visible in the Account; and

  • (D) some offers, orders, prices or transactions coming or performed with foreign partners, information agencies, relevant markets or data vendors based on which Tokenized Asset’s price with market execution was determined, may be cancelled or withdrawn for reasons beyond Structure Financial’s control. In such a case, Structure Financial has the right to withdraw from respective Trade on that Tokenized Asset concluded by you. In such a situation, confirmation of withdrawal will be documented and presented to you within two days after withdrawal or cancellation of an order, offer or transaction Structure Financial bears no responsibility for damages caused due to such withdrawal in these circumstances.

7. Tokenized Asset Orders

7.1 You can submit Orders to us for Tokenized Assets via our Trading Platform in exchange for the agreed Transaction Currency.

7.2 If your Structure Financial Wallet is not credited with sufficient of the Transaction Currency as required for settlement of the relevant Tokenized Asset Trade, then the Trade subject of your Order may not proceed.

7.3 Your Orders for Tokenized Assets shall be placed in accordance with our general Terms of Service, as supplemented by these Trading Terms. Orders will be executed by Structure Financial at the quoted Tokenized Asset Price.

7.4 We will accept a Trade only:

  • (A) on a Trading Day;

  • (B) on the basis of a current Tokenized Asset Price; and

  • (C) if the Underlying Asset is still a valid, tradeable security.

7.5 You cannot Trade on a Tokenized Asset Price which is no longer valid. Our Trading Platform will make clear if a Tokenized Asset Price has ceased to be valid. You may not be able to enter into Trades at that price where it is described on our Website as “indication only” or “indicative” or “invalid” (or words or messages to the same effect).

7.6 The range of different Order types which we accept shall be decided by us in our absolute discretion and notified to you on our Website from time to time. Certain types of Orders may only be available for a limited range of Markets.

7.7 We may at our discretion limit the quantity of any Trade and Orders we accept without notice.

7.8 It is your responsibility to understand the features of an Order and how the Order will operate before you place it. Before you place an Order for the first time, we recommend that you read the trading examples on our Website so that you fully understand the features of the Order type.

7.9 Orders cannot be executed outside Structure Financial trading hours for the relevant Market. So, if the Underlying Instrument Trades outside our trading hours, the Tokenized Asset Price at which an Order may be executed may be very different to the agreed execution price of the Order.

8. Transfers of Tokenized Assets

8.1 The Platform Services may from time to time allow the functionality to be able to transfer Tokenized Assets into and out of your Account, to enable you to deal in those Tokenized Assets on third party platforms. Transfers of Tokenized Assets to or from your Account to and from external wallet addresses can only be made to and from wallets that are owned by you; for the avoidance of doubt transfers of Tokenized Assets into and out of your Account to or from third party wallets are not permitted under these Trading Terms.

8.2 Prior to you being able to use any transfer functionality, you must register the relevant external wallet address with your Account, and follow the processes set out on the Platform to have that external wallet address approved by us. As part of that process we will carry out our own checks to satisfy our own internal requirements and reserve the right in our absolute discretion to not approve any external wallet address that you request to register to your Account. As part of our approval processes we reserve the right to request information and evidence from you around ownership and control of the relevant external wallet address, which may include carrying out “proof of control” transfers of small volumes of crypto assets.

8.3 If you sell or otherwise transfer a Tokenized Asset on a third party secondary market which is outside of our environment and the recipient does not have an Account and been successfully onboarded by us to access the Platform and use the Platform Services, the recipient will need to pass our onboarding processes (and register recipient’s external wallet address in accordance with clause 8 below) before recipient can transfer that Tokenized Asset into recipient’s Account, and sell that Tokenized Asset via the Platform Services. Please see our Eligibility page for details of who is able to onboard to the Platform (including ineligible countries) and what information we require to onboard. We do not provide any guarantee that recipient or any other person will be able to successfully onboard to access the Platform and use the Platform Services, and reserve all our rights in our absolute discretion to refuse to onboard any person, without providing reasons for our decision.

9. Market abuse

9.1 Structure Financial will frequently hedge its liability to You by opening simultaneous positions in the Underlying Instrument with other institutions. A consequence of Structure Financial doing so is that if your Trades or Orders relate to Underlying Instruments, your Trades or Orders can through our hedging exert a distorting influence on the Underlying Instrument, in addition to any impact on our Tokenized Asset Prices. This creates a possibility of market abuse, and the function of this clause is to prevent such abuse and to enable us to take appropriate action.

9.2 You represent and warrant to us and agree that each such representation and warranty is deemed repeated each time You open and close a Trade and each time You place and cancel an Order that:

A. You will not place and have not placed any Trade and/or Order with us or otherwise (when You deal with us), and You have not behaved nor will You behave in a manner that would amount to market abuse and/or market manipulation by You. For the purpose of assessing whether You have done so, You may be deemed to have dealt directly in the Underlying Instrument to which Your Trade and/or Order relates.

B. You will not place and have not placed a Trade and/or Order that contravenes any primary or secondary legislation or other law or regulatory rules applicable to You including in relation to insider dealing. For the purposes of this clause, You agree that we may proceed on the basis that when You open or close a Trade and/or place an Order with us relating to a share/equity You may be treated as if You were dealing in securities within the meaning of applicable law and regulation relating to market abuse.
