Qualified Investor Definition

I hereby confirm that I wish to be treated as a Qualified Investor ("QI") for the purpose of accessing Virtual Asset Derivatives products and services offered by HashKey.

I declare that I satisfy the eligibility requirements prescribed by HashKey and applicable regulations for classification as a Qualified Investor, including the minimum net asset requirement of AED 3,500,000.

HashKey reserves the right to determine the eligibility and valuation methodology applicable to any assets submitted.

Consequences of Being Treated as a Qualified Investor

By requesting and agreeing to be treated as a Qualified Investor, I acknowledge and understand that HashKey may provide access to products and services that are not available to ordinary individual clients.

In particular, I understand that Qualified Investors may be granted access to Virtual Asset Derivatives products which involve additional risks and complexities.

I further acknowledge that HashKey may rely upon my Qualified Investor status when determining the level of customer assessment, disclosures, product access and other requirements applicable to my account.

I acknowledge that HashKey may reject this application if the submitted assets do not satisfy the Company's assessment requirements.

I understand that HashKey may refuse or revoke Qualified Investor status where the relevant knowledge requirements are not satisfied.

These risks include, but are not limited to:

(a) substantial market volatility;

(b) leverage risk;

(e) technology and operational risk;

(f) the possibility of losing all or substantially all invested capital.

I have independently evaluated these risks and have determined that Virtual Asset Derivatives trading is appropriate for the Applicant.

Right to Withdraw Qualified Investor Status

I agree that unless and until HashKey receives written notification from me requesting withdrawal of my Qualified Investor status, HashKey shall be entitled to continue treating me as a Qualified Investor.

Any request to withdraw Qualified Investor status shall not affect:
