Crypto asset arbitrage trading & the Trading Bot:
​
-
Crypto asset arbitrage trading is a strategy in which investors buy a crypto asset on one exchange, and then sells it on another exchange for a higher price, profiting from the price difference.
-
The FAIS Act defines a crypto asset as a digital representation of value that:
-
is not issued by a central bank, but is capable of being traded, transferred or stored electronically by natural and legal persons for the purpose of payment, investment and other forms of utility;
-
applies cryptographic techniques; and
-
uses distributed ledger technology.
-
-
By using our interactive Trading Bot, our smart algorithm looks at trends to view the best relevant crypto asset price of the day, which enables us to execute the arbitrage trade.
-
We utilise the Trading Bot for your transactions, and are responsible for supporting the Trading Bot, which includes any technical support or bug fixes.
-
We may suspend use of the Trading Bot, fully, or partially, due to performing system maintenance, a malfunction, or reasonable technical difficulty.
​
Opening an account & transacting:
​
-
The minimum amount for a transaction is R100 000, and the maximum amount is R500 000. Allowing transactions of less, or more, than the minimum and maximum amounts, are entirely in our discretion.
-
You must open a South African Rands (“ZAR”) denominated bank account, held with the authorised dealer of our choice (currently Capitec Bank Limited), with the process being facilitated by the foreign exchange intermediary of our choice (currently Phynans (Pty) Ltd).
-
We apply to the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”), on your behalf, for a foreign Tax Clearance Certificate (“TCC”), via the Approval International Transfer (“AIT”) process, so you may use all, or a portion of, your annual Foreign Investment Allowance (“FIA”), if you intend exceeding your annual Single Discretionary Allowance (“SDA”), required to transact, in terms of the SARB exchange control regulations (if applicable).
-
You require an active Gemini, or Kraken, account to use our services. Instructions on how to use an existing Gemini, or Kraken, account, or how to create a new Gemini, or Kraken, account, is on our website.
-
For Gemini accounts, you may choose to have a sub-account within Dooya’s omnibus account, whereby Dooya opens your sub-account, on your behalf, in your name. Where you have a Gemini sub-account, the following Gemini T&Cs apply to you, with respect to your Gemini sub-account:
-
You agree to waive any and all rights to make a claim against Gemini under the terms of this Agreement, or any agreement between Gemini and Dooya. Nothing in this Agreement shall create a duty between you and Gemini. Furthermore, Gemini is not liable to you for (i) any losses or claims arising out of actions related to Dooya’s and any of its third parties’ use of the Gemini platform, including but not limited to, failure to follow security protocols, Gemini controls, or a breach thereof, improper instructions, failure to secure user credentials from third parties, user access breaches, fraudulent access, mismanagement of access to or distribution of user credentials to the Dooya’s Gemini account or any sub-account thereof, or anything else in Dooya’s control, (ii) any losses or claims arising out of any action or non-action by Gemini that Gemini reasonably determines is required by applicable laws and regulations, (iii) any losses or claims arising out of delays or interruptions in service and (iv) for any lost profits or any special, incidental, indirect, intangible, or consequential damages, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with authorized or unauthorized use of Gemini’s site or services provided by Gemini, even if an authorized representative of Gemini has been advised of or knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages. You acknowledge and agree that Gemini is not responsible, and cannot be held liable for any unauthorized access or other loss resulting from the disclosure or other transmission, whether intentional or inadvertent, of login credentials to third parties, or any other unauthorized access to or use of any Dooya or your account.
-
For purposes of this Agreement, Gemini shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.
-
You agree to resolve any controversy, claim, or dispute arising in connection with the services provided under this Agreement, or breach thereof, through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have the dispute decided by a judge or jury, and you waive any right to participate in collective action whether that be a class action, class arbitration, or representative action.
-
-
You are responsible to ensure that you provide us with the necessary API keys and to link the correct withdrawal address on your Gemini, or Kraken, account, where applicable. You cannot hold us liable if you share your API keys with anyone else, or link the incorrect withdrawal address.
-
When completing, or submitting, a transaction:
-
you must disclose all material facts accurately and properly, and the accuracy and completeness of any answers, statements, or other information that you, or someone on your behalf, provide, is your responsibility;
-
if you require us to complete or submit any transaction requirement on your behalf, you should be satisfied as to the accuracy and completeness of the details; and
-
you may request that we provide you with a copy, written or printed record of any transaction requirement within a reasonable time.
-
-
Even though we may, in our discretion, initiate a transaction before your funds have been transferred into our Gemini, or Kraken, account, we will only complete the transaction once we have received your funds in our Gemini, or Kraken, account.
-
To execute the trade, take advantage of the price differences of the relevant crypto assets on different exchanges, and to reduce volatility, we use our own crypto assets equal to your investment.
-
The actual market rate at which a transaction is executed, may differ from the rates published by various sources.
-
Even though your funds, or crypto assets, which you own, may be held in Dooya accounts, you remain the owner thereof. We keep record of all funds, or crypto assets, belonging to you.
-
We may, in our discretion, without prior notice and having to provide reasons, impose limits on, refuse to execute, suspend, or terminate, a transaction. If this happens, we will immediately account to you for any such transactions and ensure that any refunds, if applicable, are made within a reasonable time (subject to other service supplier timelines).
-
We may, in our discretion, allow you to cancel a transaction:
-
subject to any restrictions and fees that may be imposed by any of the other services suppliers;
-
before your funds are remitted into our Gemini, or Kraken, account; and
-
before the transaction is executed and fulfilled.
-
-
You cannot change, or cancel, your trade instruction, or reverse the trade once:
-
your funds have been converted to USD (or another non-ZAR denominated currency); or
-
your trade has been executed.
-
-
Due to the nature of crypto asset arbitrage trading, there is no cooling off period, or rights, waiting periods, loadings, penalties, or excesses, payable.
-
The timeline associated with a transaction is typically 24-48 hours. However, this depends on the information we require, our processes, and that of the other services suppliers, and the conversion and transfer of funds and crypto assets required for the transaction. Any transaction timelines that we provide, are only an estimation, and it assumes that all transaction requirements have been met. The execution of trades, and the payment of your profit, with your initial capital, may take longer, due to delays at our service suppliers, or events that are out of our control.
-
We do not permit the transfer of crypto assets from one client to another client.
