The clause establishes the scope of regulatory protections available to different account types. SIPC insurance provides coverage up to $500,000 per customer in the event of broker insolvency, but this protection does not apply to cryptocurrency positions, which means account holders bear the risk of loss in the absence of broker protection for those assets.
Users holding cryptocurrency in margin accounts operate under terms that exclude SIPC coverage for those digital assets. This means cryptocurrency holdings lack the same protection mechanism available for traditional securities and cash positions in the account structure.
How other platforms handle this
In assessing misuse, we consider factors such as evidence that a report was motivated by bias or hatred (e.g., based on protected characteristics such as race, sexual orientation, or gender identity) or other malicious intent.
We review account behavior and content that Members create, send, and publish in Mailchimp, including Campaigns and Websites.
We allow Content that names individuals in the highest positions in a company who have broad influence over the work environment, as long as the Content describes the individual's behavior or performance at work.
