The updated terms establish explicit prohibitions on circumventing access restrictions for tokens, including geographic and transfer restrictions imposed by token issuers. Users are now required to represent that they have reviewed issuer information about tokenized assets (stocks, ETFs, commodities) and comply with any restrictions on trading or holding these assets in their jurisdiction. The terms state that certain assets may not be available in all locations, and users must confirm they are eligible to trade these tokens under their local laws. If you trade tokenized assets, review the issuer restrictions and confirm your jurisdiction permits the trades you intend to execute.
