What Are Temporary Crypto Balances?

You may notice that when you deposit cryptocurrency into your trading account, it appears as a “Temporary Balance” — and is automatically returned to you after 24 hours, even if you haven’t spent it.

Here’s the reason why:

🔐 We do not hold customer crypto assets long-term. For security, compliance, and operational reasons, all crypto deposits are treated as temporary and automatically returned after 24 hours.


Why We Don’t Hold Crypto Long-Term

Unlike traditional crypto exchanges or wallets, we are not a custodial crypto platform. This means:

  • We do not store your crypto on our systems indefinitely.
  • We do not manage private keys for customer assets.
  • We do not assume custody risk — which includes exposure to hacks, regulatory scrutiny, or mismanagement.

Instead, we enable you to trade crypto during the day — and then we automatically send any unused balance back to you.

This approach:

✅ Reduces security risks
✅ Ensures compliance with financial regulations
✅ Ensures you remain in control of your assets


How It Works: Real Examples

Example 1: Deposit → Trade → Auto-Return

📅 Monday, 9:00 AM
You deposit 1 BTC to trade against CAD.
➤ Dashboard shows:

  • Temporary Balance: 1.0 BTC
  • Available for Trading: ✅ Yes
  • Available for Withdrawal: ✅ Yes

📈 Monday, 11:30 AM
You sell 0.7 BTC for CAD.
➤ Remaining: 0.3 BTC still in temporary balance

📅 Tuesday, 9:00 AM (24 hrs later)
The unused 0.3 BTC is automatically sent back to the wallet you deposited from.
➤ You receive a notification + blockchain transaction ID.


Example 2: Deposit → No Trade → Full Return

📅 Wednesday, 3:00 PM
You deposit 2 ETH to explore trading.
➤ Temporary Balance: 2 ETH — tradable immediately.

📉 You decide not to trade that day.

📅 Thursday, 3:00 PM
All 2 ETH are automatically returned to your original wallet.
➤ No action needed. No funds left on our platform.

🔹 No extensions — even if you’re mid-trade setup, the 24-hour return is automatic. Plan accordingly!


FAQ

Q: Can I opt out of the auto-return?
A: No — this is a core part of our non-custodial model. We never hold crypto beyond 24 hours.

Q: What if I want to trade again tomorrow?
A: Simply deposit again when you’re ready. Each deposit gets a fresh 24-hour trading window.

Q: What if my deposit address has changed or is no longer valid?
A: Contact support immediately. We can help redirect the return — but you must act before the 24-hour window ends.

Q: Does this apply to all cryptocurrencies?
A: Yes — BTC, ETH, USDC, and all supported assets follow this rule.


Pro Tips

🕒 Time your deposits — if you plan to trade all day Tuesday, deposit Tuesday morning.
📬 Keep your deposit wallet active — returns will fail if the address is invalid or frozen.
📊 Use the 24-hour window wisely — you have a full day to execute trades before auto-return.

We believe you should control your crypto — not us. That’s why we built this system to give you full trading flexibility during the day, while ensuring your assets never sit idle on our platform overnight.
