This "zero lending risk" model removes fractional reserve risks and gives you the certainty that your assets are always active, available, and entirely under your control.
For your Fiat Deposits (USD): Our high Core Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio and Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) act as a substantial financial shield.
