Last Updated: July 5, 2026
INTRODUCTION
This Anti-Money Laundering & Compliance Disclosure ("Disclosure") explains the compliance principles followed by 1StopCrypto ("1StopCrypto," "Company," "we," "our," or "us") in connection with the operation of its non-custodial cryptocurrency software platform.
This Disclosure forms part of the Company's Terms of Service and should be read together with the:
- Privacy Policy;
- Risk Disclosure;
- Restricted Jurisdictions Policy;
- Third-Party Provider Disclosure; and
- other legal policies published by the Company.
This Disclosure is intended to explain how the Company approaches regulatory compliance, sanctions compliance, fraud prevention, and cooperation with lawful requests while operating a non-custodial platform.
Nothing in this Disclosure should be interpreted as creating contractual rights beyond those contained in the Terms of Service or as a representation that the Company performs regulatory functions assigned by law to independent regulated financial institutions.
1. NON-CUSTODIAL BUSINESS MODEL
1StopCrypto operates as a non-custodial software platform.
Accordingly:
- we do not hold customer Digital Assets;
- we do not hold customer fiat currency;
- we do not possess users' Private Keys;
- we do not possess users' Recovery Phrases;
- we do not execute blockchain transactions on behalf of users;
- we do not maintain omnibus cryptocurrency accounts for users;
- we do not provide custody services unless expressly disclosed in writing.
Users retain exclusive control over their wallets and Digital Assets.
Blockchain transactions are authorized directly by Users through their own Connected Wallets.
The Company's role is limited to providing software that facilitates interaction with supported blockchain networks and independent third-party providers.
2. COMPLIANCE PHILOSOPHY
The Company is committed to operating responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations governing its activities.

- protecting users;
- reducing fraud;
- preventing misuse of the Platform;
- supporting the integrity of blockchain ecosystems;
- complying with applicable legal obligations;
- maintaining appropriate internal controls;
- cooperating with lawful governmental requests where required.
Because blockchain regulation continues to evolve, the Company continuously reviews its compliance practices and may modify Platform functionality to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or operational risk.
3. THIRD-PARTY REGULATED SERVICES
Certain services available through the Platform are provided entirely by independent third-party providers.
These services may include:
- cryptocurrency purchases;
- fiat-to-crypto conversion;
- crypto-to-fiat conversion;

- fraud detection;
- anti-money laundering compliance.
Such providers operate under their own:
- licenses;
- regulatory obligations;
- compliance programs;

- customer identification procedures.
Users entering into transactions with these providers do so directly with the applicable provider.
The Company is not a party to those agreements unless expressly stated otherwise.
4. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (KYC)

- government-issued identification;
- proof of address;
- selfie or biometric verification;
- tax identification information where required;
- source of funds documentation;
- source of wealth information;
- additional information required by applicable law.
The Company does not determine the outcome of identity verification performed by independent providers.
Verification decisions remain within the discretion of those providers, subject to applicable law.
5. CUSTOMER DUE DILIGENCE
Independent regulated providers may conduct Customer Due Diligence ("CDD") or Enhanced Due Diligence ("EDD") where required by law.
Such procedures may include:
- identity verification;
- sanctions screening;
- politically exposed person ("PEP") screening;
- adverse media screening;
- source-of-funds review;
- source-of-wealth review;
- transaction risk assessment;

The Company does not control the specific compliance procedures implemented by independent providers.
6. SANCTIONS COMPLIANCE
The Company is committed to complying with applicable economic sanctions laws.
The Company may implement reasonable measures designed to prevent the Platform from being used in violation of applicable sanctions laws.
Users represent and warrant that they are not:
- located in jurisdictions subject to comprehensive sanctions applicable to the Company;
- identified on applicable sanctions lists;
- acting on behalf of sanctioned persons;
- owned or controlled by sanctioned persons;
- using the Platform to evade sanctions.
The Company reserves the right to restrict access to the Platform where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable sanctions laws.
Nothing contained herein obligates the Company to disclose internal sanctions screening procedures.
7. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
The Platform may not be used for unlawful purposes.
Without limitation, prohibited activities include:
- money laundering;
- terrorist financing;
- sanctions evasion;
- fraud;

The Company reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of applicable law or these Terms.

- behavioral analysis;
- IP analysis;

The Company may cooperate with law enforcement agencies, regulators, and governmental authorities where required or permitted by applicable law.
Such cooperation may include responding to:
- subpoenas;
- court orders;
- search warrants;
- lawful regulatory requests;
- lawful governmental inquiries;
- preservation requests;
- other legal process.
The Company evaluates requests for information in accordance with applicable law and may object to requests it believes are invalid, overly broad, or otherwise legally deficient.
Nothing in this Disclosure requires the Company to provide notice of governmental requests where prohibited by law or where doing so could compromise an investigation.
10. RECORDKEEPING
The Company maintains business records as reasonably necessary to:
- operate the Platform;
- maintain security;
- investigate fraud;
- comply with applicable law;
- resolve disputes;
- enforce contractual rights;
- improve Platform functionality.
Retention periods vary depending on:
- the type of information;
- applicable legal requirements;
- operational needs;
- legitimate business purposes.
As a non-custodial platform, the Company does not maintain records of Private Keys or Recovery Phrases because it does not collect such information.
11. BLOCKCHAIN ANALYTICS
To help protect the integrity of the Platform, comply with applicable legal obligations, and mitigate fraud, the Company may use blockchain analytics tools or services provided by independent third-party providers.
Blockchain analytics may assist in identifying publicly observable patterns associated with blockchain activity.
Such tools may analyze publicly available blockchain information including:
- wallet addresses;
- transaction hashes;
- token transfers;
- smart contract interactions;
- publicly visible transaction history;
- blockchain timestamps;
- network identifiers.
The Company does not claim that blockchain analytics are infallible.
Blockchain analytics are probabilistic in nature and may produce incomplete, inaccurate, or evolving results.
Accordingly:
- analytics results are evaluated in context;
- analytics may be supplemented by additional information where appropriate;
- analytics alone may not determine whether activity is unlawful.
The Company reserves the right to rely upon blockchain analytics, together with other information reasonably available to it, when evaluating fraud, abuse, sanctions compliance, or security risks.
12. TRANSACTION MONITORING
Because 1StopCrypto is a non-custodial software platform, the Company generally does not monitor or approve individual blockchain transactions in the same manner as a custodial financial institution.
However, the Company may monitor Platform activity for purposes including:
- protecting Platform security;
- detecting abuse;
- identifying fraud;
- preventing unauthorized access;
- investigating technical issues;
- complying with applicable legal obligations;
- protecting other users.
Monitoring may include:
- wallet connection events;
- authentication activity;
- Platform usage patterns;
- API usage;
- security logs;
- publicly available blockchain activity associated with Platform interactions.
The Company does not continuously monitor every blockchain transaction occurring between third parties outside the Platform.
Nothing in this Disclosure should be interpreted as a representation that unlawful activity will always be detected or prevented.
13. GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS
Availability of the Platform and certain Platform features may vary depending upon jurisdiction.
The Company may restrict or prohibit access from certain jurisdictions due to:
- applicable law;
- sanctions;

- cybersecurity concerns.
