This is a requirement under our Anti Money Laundering regulations.

Verifying your source of cryptocurrency

If you bought your cryptocurrency through us originally, kei te pai! Nothing further required. As long as the crypto is still listed with us, you’ll be able to sell the same amount back to us, no matter what the value has changed to. E.g. if you bought 3 BTC from us and 10 XRP you can sell back 3 BTC and 10 XRP regardless of how high they moon. 🚀

If you got your cryptocurrency somewhere else, you’ll just need to provide us with evidence to show where this has come from.

Here are some examples or suggestions on ways you can show where you got the crypto originally:
