Regulated exchanges
A CFTC-regulated venue operates under federal oversight, with segregated client funds and audited processes. This is the strongest protection available, but availability is geographically limited.
Decentralized protocols
On-chain venues are non-custodial — your funds sit in audited smart contracts, not with a company. There’s no regulator to appeal to, so contract risk and local legality are yours to assess.
Know your region
Access and legality vary by country and, in the US, by state. We surface availability on every platform card, but the final responsibility is yours.
