Exposure guidance

Transaction-only exposure

Use case
Use primarily for transactions and withdraw unnecessary balances.
Avoid
Avoid using the exchange as a single long-term custody location.
Reason
Regulatory & legal standing is the strongest observed area, while Asset & solvency transparency limits a stronger conclusion.
Exposure guidance is a risk-use framework, not personalised investment, legal or custody advice.
