How Are My Crypto Assets Protected?

We take the security of your crypto assets seriously.

Here’s a clear, simple overview of how the crypto that supports your EasyCrypto Bundles is stored and protected.

How is the crypto that supports EasyCrypto Bundles stored?

The underlying crypto assets are held safely on your behalf by First World Trader Nominees RF (Pty) Ltd (“FWT Nominees”).
A tiered storage approach is used to keep the majority of assets in highly secure environments, while still allowing enough liquidity for day-to-day operations.

Tiered storage structure

Deep Cold Storage (Target: 70–80%)
Held in the name of FWT Nominees with BitGo Trust and Fireblocks in a highly secure, multi-signature, insured cold-storage facility (. This is the most secure form of storage.

Float Cold Storage (Target: 10–20%)
Held under the control of FWT Nominees in a multi-signature cold-storage setup . These assets remain secure, but slightly more accessible when needed.

Exchange Accounts (Target: 0.5-2.5%)
A small portion is held on vetted crypto exchanges to support day-to-day liquidity needs.

This tiered model balances maximum security with the practical access required to run the Bundle product suite.

Targets are guidelines and may vary depending on operational needs.
How does protection work for EasyCrypto Bundles?

EasyCrypto Bundles operate within a regulated framework and follow a clear set of rules that define how the product works and how your exposure is managed.

A few key points:

a) Regulated environment
EasyEquities is licensed to provide financial services in crypto assets under the FAIS (Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services) framework.
This means there are standards for how we run, safeguard, and report on Bundle products.

b) How the Bundle structure works
When you hold an EasyCrypto Bundle, you’re not holding the individual crypto assets directly.
Instead, the Bundle gives you exposure to the combined value of the crypto assets it represents.
This structure is explained in the EasyCrypto Bundle Rules.

c) Additional insolvency safeguard
There is a separate, ring-fenced company - the EasyCrypto Security SPV (RF) (Pty) Ltd - which exists solely to support Bundle holders if EasyEquities were ever to enter insolvency.
You don’t need to do anything to activate this; it’s built into the Bundle structure.

This safeguard applies only in insolvency scenarios and does not affect how your value moves from day to day. 
Does this remove all risks?

No.
Crypto is still a high-risk investment because of market volatility and technology factors.
The protections above help reduce operational and custody risks, but they do not eliminate market risk or guarantee returns.
