2. CESSATION OF SERVICES
2.1. Discontinued Services. The Company has permanently ceased all Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) activities in late March, 2025, including virtual asset exchange operator and deposit virtual asset operator services. The following services are no longer available: virtual asset exchange and trading services; deposit of Fiat Money or Virtual Assets; peer-to-peer trading; custodial wallet services for new deposits; account registration for new users; any other services previously offered on the KUNA platform.
2.2. Available Services. The only service currently provided by the Company is the processing of Withdrawal Requests for Users with remaining Funds balances. Users may submit requests to withdraw their Funds by contacting the Company through the designated channels specified in Section 16 of these Terms.
3. CONVERSION OF BALANCES
3.1. Rationale for Conversion. In connection with the cessation of VASP activities and in order to protect User Funds from market volatility during the wind-down period, the majority of User balances held in volatile Virtual Assets have been converted to USDC (USD Coin), a stablecoin pegged to the United States Dollar. This measure was undertaken to: (a) preserve the value of User Funds and prevent potential losses arising from price fluctuations in volatile Virtual Assets; (b) ensure operational simplicity during the fund return process; and (c) comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the wind-down of VASP operations. The respective information regarding the conversion has been provided to Users via email or other means of communication in prior.
3.2. Scope of Conversion. Users acknowledge and understand that the majority of balances have been converted to USDC. However, not all balances have been converted - certain User Accounts may retain balances in other currencies or Virtual Assets where conversion was not practicable or where the original asset was already a stablecoin or in some other liquid assets. Users will be informed of the composition of their current balance upon submitting a Withdrawal Request.
3.3. Conversion Terms. Conversions were executed at prevailing market rates available at the time of conversion. Due to the variety of Virtual Assets and currencies previously supported by the platform, multiple conversions may have occurred at different times and rates. The Company does not guarantee any specific exchange rate and is not liable for any difference between the original asset value and the converted equivalent, whether at the time of conversion or withdrawal.
4. USER ELIGIBILITY AND RESTRICTIONS
