Safety of Assets.
Every asset you deposit is backed 1:1, held in full reserve, and in cold storage by default.
Your Assets.
Held in Full.
Every deposit is matched 1:1 and held in a segregated account, separate from Ouinex's operational capital. Your funds are never lent or used for platform costs. We verify balances every day. Even in a worst-case scenario, your funds remain yours and fully accessible.
Cold Storage by Default.
Multi-Custody Cold Storage Architecture
Client assets are distributed across multiple independent custodians, each holding partial signing authority. No single key can move funds. Transaction authorization requires multiple independent signers across isolated systems. Cold storage architecture and operational governance are maintained as separate, independently audited layers.
Multi-Signature Wallets
Every transaction requires multiple independent key authorizations. No single key, person, or system can move funds unilaterally. Keys are held separately and never co-located.
Advanced Encryption
Your credentials, transaction history, and account data are encrypted at every step. We follow current encryption standards and update them on an ongoing basis.
Latest Security Norms
Security at Ouinex is treated as an ongoing commitment, not a one-time setup. Vulnerabilities are patched as they are identified. Configurations are updated after every major industry incident to reflect the latest threats.
The Numbers Are Checked.
The Systems Are Tested.
Ouinex undergoes regular independent audits covering security infrastructure and operational compliance.
Third-Party Audits
Reserve balances are independently verified against client liabilities. Every audit produces a published report. We do not self-certify.
- Reserve ratio verification
- Client liability reconciliation
- Fund segregation confirmation
SOC-2 Type II
Ouinex operates on SOC-2 Type II certified infrastructure, independently assessed for security, availability, and confidentiality.
- Who can access which systems, and how that's controlled
- How security incidents are detected and handled
- How encryption keys are stored and protected
Penetration Testing
External security researchers attempt to breach our systems every year under controlled conditions. Every finding is remediated.

Stress Tests
Ouinex stress tests its trading infrastructure against extreme market scenarios to verify that systems and reserves remain stable under pressure.
- Withdrawal surges
- Volume spikes
- Liquidity shocks
On-Chain Transaction Screening
Every deposit is screened through Scorechain before it is credited to your account. Funds are scored against risk databases covering sanctioned wallets, mixers, darknet markets, and high-risk exchanges. Transactions above risk thresholds are held for manual compliance review before processing.
Every Account Event Is Monitored in Real Time.
Every login, withdrawal, password reset, and authentication change is monitored in real time. When unusual activity is detected, we respond.
Protect Your Account at Every Level.
Every tool you need to keep your account secure.
Anti-Phishing Protection
Set a personal anti-phishing code that appears in every legitimate Ouinex email. If an email doesn't contain your code, it is not from us.
Real-Time Security Alerts
Instant notifications on every account event: logins, withdrawals, password changes, MFA updates. You see it when it happens.
Two-Factor Authentication
Add a second verification layer to every login. Supported on authenticator apps and hardware keys. No SMS-only fallback.
API Key Controls
API keys are scoped to specific permissions: read-only, trade-only, or withdraw-enabled. Each key can be IP-restricted to a single address. Withdraw-enabled keys require 2FA to generate.
Identity Verification
Every account goes through KYC powered by Sumsub before trading or withdrawals are enabled. Government-issued ID, live facial recognition, and sanctions screening run on every new account automatically.

Four Licenses. Four Regulators.
Ouinex operates through four licensed entities, each regulated by a recognized financial authority in its jurisdiction.
Every Ouinex user completes KYC identity verification through Sumsub before trading or withdrawals are enabled. Blockchain transactions are screened through Scorechain against sanctions lists, mixer activity, and high-risk addresses. AML systems monitor transaction patterns continuously. We cooperate fully with regulatory bodies and law enforcement across all jurisdictions we operate in.
Regulatory status and available services vary by jurisdiction. Services are not offered to residents of jurisdictions where such services are prohibited, including the United States and the European Economic Area.
