Public Hearing on Updated Trading Rules for Digital Asset Trading

Modified on Fri, 24 May at 6:00 PM

Principle

Given the Company's development of an automated Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) feature (Auto DCA) to facilitate customer investment, it is deemed appropriate to revise the digital asset trading rules ("Trading Rules"). This revision aims to align operations with customer needs and provide a clear, consistent framework for using the Company's trading platform. The Company is committed to transparency by disclosing criteria and informing customers before implementation.

The Company invites public comments by conducting a public hearing on the updated Trading Rules. The new auto DCA feature enables customers to pre-set conditions and schedules for placing market buy orders automatically. This functionality enhances convenience by allowing customers to make timely purchases and investments at market prices.
