The Company shall provide 2 methods of transaction with respect to some of the handled crypto assets: Point Of Sale Transaction (a transaction in which the Company acts as a counterparty for a customer to buy, sell or exchange crypto assets with another crypto asset) and Exchange Transaction (a transaction handled by the Company for the purchase and sale of crypto assets between users and for the exchange of crypto assets with other crypto assets).

・Best Execution Policy for Exchanges

3. Reason for Choosing an Applicable Method
Based partly on customer demand for some crypto assets and liquidity, the Company shall offer 2 trading methods, and judge if the above-mentioned providence of multiple transactions methods are reasonable for the customer. Customers are free to choose which method of transaction they wish to use.
4. Other
In case of a system error, inevitably a different method may be executed than choosing a method based on Best Execution Policy inevitably. Even in such cases, we will strive to execute at the best terms possible at that point of time.
Best Execution Policy Obligation is to execute by taking not only the price into account, but the cost, speed, certainty of execution etc., as well. Hence, even if it would not be considered the best with the focus only on the price, that alone does not necessarily constitute a breach of the Best Execution Policy Obligation.
