Як повідомляє Fortune, кріптовалютна біржа Coinbase придбала сервіс кріптовалютного сховища Xapo. Операція була проведена в рамках заходів Coinbase з агресивного розширення власного підрозділу в сфері зберігання кріптовалют та може призвести до того, що продукт компанії буде застосовуватися для забезпечення зберігання 5% усіх біткоінів, що знаходяться в обігу. Придбання коштувало Coinbase 55 мільйонів доларів. Зараз під управлінням компанії знаходиться понад 7 мільярдів доларів в кріптовалютних активах. Як повідомляється, Coinbase змогла зробити Xapo більш привабливу пропозицію, ніж інвестиційна компанія Fidelity. Xapo була заснована в 2013 році і збереже за собою біржовий бізнес, в рамках якого вона дозволяє роздрібним клієнтам купувати та продавати біткоіни. Засновник компанії Уенсес Касарес збереже посаду генерального директора. Касарес заявив, що обслуговування роздрібних клієнтів завжди було пріоритетним завданням його компанії, в той час як бізнес в сфері зберігання активів розвинувся в якості додаткового сервісу для великих власників біткоінів, яким було потрібно зберігати кріптовалюту в безпечному місці. «Складно робити бізнес для споживачів, коли він орієнтований ще й на інституціональних клієнтів. В цьому році ми стали шукати, кому його можна передати», - сказав він. Касарес також зазначив, що деякі інші компанії запропонували більші суми, однак в них не було достатнього рівня безпеки або не вистачало рекомендацій регуляторів. Серед них була й фірма з управління цифровими активами Grayscale Investments. Згідно з інформацією, велика частина заможних клієнтів Xapo погодилася передати свої активи під управління Coinbase, до якої в результаті перейшло понад 514 000 біткоінів. На рахунках клієнтів Xapo за деякими оцінками знаходяться активи вартістю понад 3,5 мільярдів доларів. Якщо Coinbase вдасться залучити і їх, в її сховищах опиниться понад 860 000 біткоінів. До придбання Xapo Coinbase Custody зберігала активи на суму близько 1 мільярда доларів. Чутки про можливість укладення угоди між Coinbase та Xapo з'явилися ще в травні, проте на врегулювання супутніх питань, наприклад передачу клієнтських активів та визначення власника бункера Xapo в швейцарських горах, пішло кілька місяців. Касарес сказав, що бункер залишається за його компанією і буде використовуватися для зберігання біткоінів роздрібних клієнтів.

IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR SUBSIDIARIES, PARTNERS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR SUBCONTRACTORS (IF ANY) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR ANY SIMILAR OR LIKE LOSS), ARISING AS A RESULT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, THE PERFORMANCE OR OPERATION OF OUR E-MONEY SERVICES, YOUR ACCESS TO, DISPLAY OF OR USE OF OUR E-MONEY SERVICES, ANY DELAY OR INABILITY TO ACCESS, DISPLAY OR USE THE E-MONEY SERVICES, ANY COMPUTER VIRUSES, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, LINKED SITES, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THE E-MONEY SERVICES, OR THE ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY PERSON, BUSINESS OR OTHER THIRD PARTY USING OUR E-MONEY SERVICES, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE, OUR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR SUBCONTRACTORS SUBSIDIARIES, PARTNERS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Xapo will, however, ensure that all transfers of Personal Data (as the same is defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 the “Regulation”) outside of the EU shall be carried out in compliance with the Regulation for as long as the same applies to Xapo. ## 19. SEVERABILITY. If, for any reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. ## 20. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. You and Xapo agree to arbitrate any dispute arising under or in connection with these Terms or your use of our E-money Services, except for disputes in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for any alleged infringement or unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Xapo agree to notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to Xapo shall be sent to legal@xapo.com. You and Xapo further agree: (a) to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; (b) that the seat or legal place of any arbitration will be Gibraltar; (c) that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator appointed by the Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce; (d) the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of International Chamber of Commerce; and (e) that the courts in Gibraltar will have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND XAPO WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator, Xapo, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Xapo will not have the right to assert the claim. If any portion of this Section 20 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 20 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 20; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 20 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 20 will be enforceable. ## 21. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. These Terms and any dispute or claim between you and Xapo arising out of or in connection these Terms or any terms incorporated into these Terms by reference or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Gibraltar, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Subject to the “Arbitration” section above, the courts of Gibraltar shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim between you and Xapo arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any terms incorporated into these Terms by reference or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims). ## 22. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY; DEATH OF ACCOUNT OWNERS. 22.1. Under applicable law, after a specified period of inactivity by you with respect to your Xapo account, Xapo may be required to report and/or remit any funds it is holding in custody for you in accordance with applicable laws. 22.2. Xapo reserves the right to deduct a dormacy fee or other administrative charges from such unclaimed funds, as permitted by applicable law. 22.3. In the event that a Xapo Account owner dies or is otherwise incapacitated, Xapo will cooperate with duly authorized representatives in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Upon notice of the death of a Xapo Account owner, Xapo will suspend activity in such Xapo Account, pending verification or resolution of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xapo reserves the right to require that the recipient or ultimate beneficiary of any transfer from a Xapo Account (a) provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Xapo that demonstrates entitlement to a transfer and (b) comply with the Identity Requirement provisions set forth in Section 6 hereof. ## 23. NO WAIVER. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. ## 24. ASSIGNMENT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Xapo may assign these Terms to its parent company, affiliate or subsidiary, or in connection with a merger, consolidation, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets. These Terms, together with any other agreements that apply to you, such as our Developer Terms, constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between us and you regarding its subject matter, and supersede and replace any previous or contemporaneous written or oral contract, warranty, representation or understanding regarding its subject matter. You agree to first contact Xapo and attempt to resolve any complaint or claim at the following: E-mail: support@xapo.com Phone number: +350 200 08125 Xapo (Gibraltar) Limited Suite 23 Portland House Glacis Road Gibraltar Gibraltar GX11 1AA ## SCHEDULE 1.

Xapo is long known as one of the top security companies when it comes to holding crypto assets. Their use of an ex swiss bunker was well publicized. There, more than $10 billion in Bitcoin is held. This makes them the top custodian company in the world. It is what appealed to Coinbase leading to the transaction. This puts Coinbase as the biggest crypto custodian company in the world, perhaps leading to some leniency from the SEC. ##### <center><br><a href='https://bitcoinist.com/coinbase-custody-acquires-xapos-institutional-business/'>Source of shared Link</a><hr><br><a href='https://dlike.io/'><img src='https://dlike.io/images/dlike-logo.jpg'></a></center>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xapo shall also be entitled to immediately suspend an account without prior notice to you, in the event of, amongst other things, (a) any violation by you of these Terms, including but not limited to any violation of the “Prohibited Activities” section above; (b) the provision by you of any incorrect, incomplete or inconsistent information relating to your identity as part of the account creation process and/or as part of a pending compliance review; (c) a request made by a third party; (d) an order made by any competent authority, governmental body, regulator, court, justice entity, police or any similar authority or entity, provided always that Xapo, acting in its sole discretion, considers such suspension to be reasonable in the above mentioned circumstances. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS FUNDS IN YOUR E-MONEY WALLET IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS SUSPENDED, BLOCKED OR IS OTHERWISE RESTRICTED, AS DETAILED IN THIS SECTION. If the cause of the suspension is resolved, Xapo may require you to provide an external e-money wallet address operated by another e-money institution in order to send you the available funds remaining in your E-money Wallet. Alternatively, Xapo shall transfer funds to a third party upon an order of a competent regulator, justice entity, judge, court or other authority. ## 6. IDENTITY VERIFICATION Xapo may, in its discretion, require identity verification and other screening procedures with respect to you or transactions associated with your Xapo Account. These verification and screening procedures may include, without limitation, checking the information you provide against any list issued by any governmental or international authority prohibiting or limiting business activities or transactions with any persons.

You further authorise all third parties to which such inquiries or requests may be directed to fully respond to such inquiries or requests. Xapo will have no liability or responsibility for any permanent or temporary inability to access or use any Services, including your inability to interact with service providers through the Site, as a result of any identity verification or other screening procedures. ## 7.

GENERAL SERVICE TERMS. ### 9.1. The Xapo E-money Services. Xapo provides a way to store, use, and manage electronic money (“E-money”) issued by Xapo in accordance with an E-money licence (“Licence”) granted by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (“GFSC”), through our E-money wallet service, which we call our “E-money Wallet”. ### 9.2. Xapo E-money Wallet. The E-money Wallet is an E-money account which enables you to store and redeem E-money and to transfer and receive E-money to or from third parties, through the mobile application specifically developed by Xapo for these purposes. You acknowledge, agree and understand that you can open only one Xapo E-money Wallet in your own name and/or on behalf of an Entity. Xapo will only activate your E-money Wallet when the relevant due diligence procedures have been carried out to our satisfaction. ### 9.3. E-money Wallet Management. To add, exchange, move, and withdraw funds with Xapo, simply click on the respective button after logging in. You will be taken through a process that will display different available currencies and methods to conduct the intended transaction. The currencies and payment methods available to you will depend on your location and some other factors. The E-money Wallet is personalised to each user and certain factors involved, so only certain payment options may be shown for each order. At the end of the process, the transaction shall be debited from or credited to the respective account of your E-money Wallet. Funds received by Xapo to add funds to your E-money Wallet will be exchanged for E-money. Your E-money Wallet will not be credited until cleared funds are received by Xapo and the necessary procedures and checks have been carried out to our satisfaction. Your ability to fund and withdraw your E-money Wallet may be subject to limits that we may establish from time to time. If there is a negative balance on your E-money Wallet for any reason, you will be required to repay such negative balance by adding sufficient funds to your E-money Wallet without delay. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of these Terms. Repayment of the negative balance is due immediately without notice. During such period when the E-money Wallet has a negative balance and until you make the required payment, Xapo reserves the right to block your E-money Wallet and suspend your access to and/or use of our E-money Services. We also reserve the right, at any time, to send you reminders or to take other debt collection measures, including but not limited to, mandating a debt collection agency or solicitors to pursue a claim in court. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against any and all fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by us in connection with any debt collection or enforcement measures that we decide to take. For the purposes of a funding transaction through a payment account or credit or debit card or other payment instrument, Xapo shall be the recipient of the payment and not a payment service provider. When funding or withdrawing your E-money Wallet through wire transfer and/or any payment processor and/or payment method, incoming or withdrawn funds can be sent from or to an account in your own name or in the name of a third party. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information included in your transfer of funds, including account number, bank routing number, your Xapo-specific reference number and any other information requested by us. Xapo cannot revoke or cancel a wire once it has been initiated by a bank. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against any and all costs, losses, damages, fees, charges, expenses and liabilities arising from any reversal of funds initiated by Xapo as a result of your failure to comply with the provisions of this section. Xapo reserves the right to delay or not process any incoming payment method for any reason including (but not limited to) where required by governmental, regulatory or law enforcement requirements. Xapo shall not be liable (to the fullest extent permitted by law) for any act, omission, mistake, default, delay, negligence, misconduct or insolvency of any third party, including any bank, payment processor, entity or person. ### 9.4. People Nearby Feature. People Nearby Feature is a marketplace platform that allows Xapo users, as independent third parties, to contact with other Xapo users to agree directly to add or withdraw funds from their E-money Wallets, by exchanging funds among them (“Transaction”), subject to the terms, conditions, rates and payment methods agreed directly among the parties involved in such Transaction. You acknowledge and agree that Xapo shall not be party to any Transaction. You acknowledge and agree that Xapo only acts as the provider of the platform, allowing contact between Xapo users. People Nearby Feature may be available or discontinued in selected territories at Xapo’s sole discretion, according to these Terms and applicable laws and regulations. You acknowledge and agree that Xapo is not responsible for any errors, committed by your acts and/or omissions in connection with any Transaction. You acknowledge and agree that your use of People Nearby Feature is at your sole risk. Any payments in connection with any Transaction shall be agreed, processed, received and confirmed directly by the parties of the Transaction, at the sole risk of each party. You represent, warrant and covenant that you will use the People Nearby Feature in a professional and workmanlike manner, according to good faith practices. ### 9.5. E-money Transactions. Your E-money Wallet transactions may be subject to limits due to security and legal requirements. You should ensure that your limits are sufficient to cover any transaction you intend to make as well as any applicable fees. You acknowledge and agree that Xapo is not responsible for any errors committed by your acts and/or omissions in connection with any transaction initiated via the E-money Services. ### 9.6. Xapo Debit Card. Xapo may from time to time offer a payment card Debit Card as a service to compliment your Xapo Account. Your Xapo Card will be governed by separate applicable terms which will be made available to you at the same time as the Xapo Card is available for order. A Xapo Card is a payment card which can be used worldwide to pay for goods and services at participating merchants that accept the card programme being used. The Xapo Card can also be used to withdraw money from cash machines (ATMs); these may charge you for your withdrawal. You can only use the Xapo Card to spend funds which are available in your E-Money Wallet and we do not guarantee that a particular merchant will accept the Xapo Card so please check with the merchant before attempting the transaction if you are unsure. If a Xapo Card is made available to you then you will be able to order a Xapo Card by following the applicable process in your Xapo Account and accepting applicable terms separate to these Terms. You will be notified when the Xapo Card is available to you. When the Xapo Card is available in your region, it becomes a mandatory service which means that if you have a Xapo Account you must follow the Xapo Card order process, agree to applicable terms and maintain active a Xapo Card. To avoid the closure of your Xapo Account and to continue enjoying its functionality, you must have ordered your Xapo Card and accepted its applicable terms by no later than two months from the date when the Xapo Card is made available to you (“Long Stop Date”). By the Long Stop Date all Xapo users will have to have ordered a Xapo Card. Xapo reserves the right to close the Xapo Account of all users who by the Long Stop date have not ordered a Xapo Card and accepted applicable terms without further notice. If at the Long Stop Date you have an active Xapo Card but you then subsequently cancel it or do not replace it, a two months’ prior notice of our intention to terminate our agreement with you and close your Xapo Account will apply. If your Xapo Card expires, is lost, broken or stolen, you inform us that you do not want a replacement card or if you terminate your agreement for the Xapo Card, in these circumstances we also retain the right to terminate our agreement with you and close your Xapo Account by giving you two months’ notice of our intention to do so. Upon termination of your agreement with us and closure of your Xapo Account for whatever reason, we will process the refund of any remaining balance belonging to you as quickly as we can. We are required to allow 5 days for any outstanding purchases made on your Xapo Card to arrive before we process the refund and most high street banks then take a further 2-3 working days before they show the refund in your personal bank account. For that reason, we ask you to allow 8-10 working days for the refund to show in your personal bank account. We do recommend that if you require the funds more swiftly you withdraw these via an ATM. Your Xapo Card will expire on the expiry date on the card, at which point, subject to your Xapo Account being in good order, we may issue you a new Xapo Card to you shortly before the expiry date. We are not obliged to do so, and may elect not to issue a replacement Xapo Card at our sole discretion. If we do not issue a replacement card we reserve the right to terminate our agreement with you and close your Xapo Account by giving you two months’ prior notice. If we do issue a new Xapo Card, a new expiry date will apply and the new Xapo Card will expire on that expiry date. ### 9.7. Processing Fees. Xapo does not charges fees for adding or withdrawing funds to or from your E-money Wallet, but processing fees may apply depending on the payment method used to fund or withdraw your E-money Wallet. At the end of the process of funding or “topping up” your E-money Wallet, the amount received by Xapo will be credited in your E-money Wallet less any applicable fees. At the end of the process of withdrawing your E-money Wallet, the amount transferred by Xapo will be debited in your E-money Wallet plus any applicable fees. Details of such fees will be made known to you during the E-money Wallet funding or withdrawing process and before any transaction to fund or withdraw your E-money Wallet may be submitted for processing. Additionally, details of our fees will be set out in the transaction receipt, which you will receive after the transaction has been processed. Xapo reserves the right to charge additional fees or to change the amount of fees, and we will provide you at least 30 days advance notice of any such change. Xapo reserves the right to waive and/or reduce any fee at any time, with or without notice. ### 9.8. Safeguarding and Segregation of Funds. The funds deposited in your Xapo E-money Wallet are fully segregated in accordance with the safeguarding requirements imposed on electronic money institutions under the Gibraltar Financial Services (Electronic Money) Regulations 2011 (as amended from time to time). This means that the funds held in E-money Wallets on behalf of users are held by Xapo in safeguarding accounts with a credit institution that is duly authorised by the FSC. By placing the funds in a safeguarding account, those assets are being clearly identified as not being the property of Xapo, and will be protected from the claims of other Xapo creditors. In the event of Xapo’s insolvency, funds held in a safeguarding account shall be protected and paid to users from such asset pool, in priority to all other creditors of Xapo (less any costs of distributing the asset pool), irrespective of Xapo’s financial position. E-money stored in an E-Money Wallet constitutes a claim of the relevant user against Xapo, which is personal to such user. Subject to the “Assignment” Section of these Terms below, we will not assign or transfer our obligations towards our users in this regard nor will we grant any security right or other legal interest to any third party over our users’ E-money or over any funds held in a safeguarding account. ## 9.9. Continuity of Services. Our Services may evolve over time. This means we may make changes, replace, or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) our Services at any time for any reason with or without notice. In this case, you may be prevented from accessing or using our Services. If, in our sole discretion, we decide to permanently discontinue our Services, we will provide you with notice via our website. ### 9.10. Unacceptable Use or Conduct.

Use of our Services in connection with any transaction involving illegal products or services is prohibited. Xapo reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend your Xapo Account or otherwise restrict your use of the Xapo Services if any violation of this Section 9.10 occurs. ## 9.11. Authorised Uses of Our E-money Services. If you are an Entity, you are responsible for ensuring that only authorised persons use the Services on your behalf, and you agree that each such authorised person must register and obtain individual Xapo Account access credentials through Xapo’s website. You are permitted to use our E-money Services, only as we have authorised. You are responsible for ensuring that your personal information in your account profile is current and correct, including your email address and mobile phone number. You are also responsible for maintaining adequate security, control and confidentiality of your account information, including any personal identification numbers (PINs), passwords, application programming interface (API) keys or other codes associated with your account and any activity occurring within that account. The loss or compromise of this information may result in unauthorised access of your account, which may result in loss or theft of any funds held in your E-money Wallet. If you believe that: (a) your account has been compromised; (b) you need to report a security incident or have a security concern; and/or (c) you have experienced or are experiencing any operational problems, please contact us immediately describing the issue at hand as thoroughly as possible including the date on which you experienced the issue, a description of the nature of problem and details of the relevant part or function of the E-money Services where you experienced that problem. You are responsible for: (i) immediately notifying us of any unauthorised use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (ii) ensuring that you logout of your account at the end of each session when accessing the E-money Services. We accept no responsibility or liability to you for any loss that you suffer as a result of failing to comply with this section or your failure to follow or act on any notices or alerts that we may send to you in relation to your use of or access to our E-money Services. ## 9.12. Using SMS/Text. To use the Xapo Services, whether as an individual account holder or a person authorised on behalf of an Entity account holder, you must provide a valid mobile phone number. This number is used as part of the authentication process. As part of using the Xapo Services, you are agreeing to receive SMS/text messages from us. Please note that while we do not charge you for SMS/text messages, your mobile carrier’s standard messaging rates will apply. Failure to provide a valid mobile phone number may result in restriction of your use of the Xapo Services. If Xapo suspects that your mobile number is invalid or that you are using a VOIP service to circumvent the requirement to provide a valid mobile phone number, Xapo may suspend or otherwise restrict your use of the Xapo Services. ## 9.13. Currency Exchange Transaction Rules. You acknowledge and agree that when you instruct Xapo to transfer funds between E-Money Wallets that are not denominated in the same currency, Xapo does an equivalent finance transaction in accordance with your instructions, incurring in a hedge for the risk of adverse price movements of the selected currency to be transferred. Therefore, you acknowledge and agree that the cancellation of a transfer of funds from one E-Money Wallet to another is not neutral, and it may be subject to an adjustment equivalent to the difference between the prices involved in the entire transaction. Xapo does not earn any profit from these eventual adjustments. Transfers between E-Money Wallets denominated in the same currency, are not subject to this adjustment. ### Read also: XAPO updates the Terms of Use to include new features to the platform (Chapter II) ### https://steemit.com/xapo/@hugo1954/xapo-updates-the-terms-of-use-to-include-new-features-to-the-platform-chapter-ii

There will surely be a price supplement to strengthen the crypto-purse's daycare activities, according to sources close to the subject.</strong></em> <h2>Coinbase and Fidelity Digital Asset vie for Xapo</h2> Coinbase has been in competition for several weeks with Fidelity Digital Asset for the purchase of Xapo , in order to strengthen its position as the first cryptocurrency storage company. Fidelity believes that <strong>Xapo would be an excellent entry point into the cryptocurrency industry.</strong> Nevertheless, the negotiations are still far from being concluded. Xapo represents more than 700,000 BTC in custody, or $ 5.5 billion. A media report reads as follows: <blockquote>"According to rumors, the company holds up to $ 5.5 billion in assets under custody (AUC) at the current price of nearly $ 8,000 [per BTC], reflecting ~ 700,000 bitcoins in custody. Xapo holds 226,000 BTCs that are part of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ". </blockquote> The addition of AUC billions would be a big boost for Coinbase, especially since Xapo does not charge for the storage of Bitcoin. It <strong>generates revenue through transactions for customers who use Bitcoin in custody.</strong> <h2>A strategic acquisition that attracts many investors</h2> Launched in 2014, Xapo is a Hong Kong-based company, a digital wallet provider that stores BTCs and a digital safe available to its customers, as well as Bitcoin debit card services. Xapo has been able to raise 40 million dollars since 2012. Xapo's rival investors include Silicon Valley venture capital firms Greylock Partners and Index Ventures, cryptocurrency firms Winklevoss Capital and Blockchain Capital. <strong>High-level investors like Max Levchin and David Marcus - the head of Facebook's cryptocurrency initiative - are also in the running.</strong> Earlier this month, Coinbase Custody was able to manage $ 1 billion worth of assets in just 12 months after launch. 70 institutions have joined the service during this period according to Brian Armstrong , the CEO of Coinbase. <em><strong>What do you think of the fierce competition around the acquisition of Xapo? </strong></em>Comment in the comment section below. <br />

 The San Francisco-based cryptocurrency giant Coinbase is “in advanced talks” to purchase Xapo, a Zurich-headquartered custodian that purportedly owns at least 5% of all BTC in circulation, worth billions of dollars. Sources, who are “people familiar with the matter”, tell the outlet that Coinbase has an offer of $50 million and added contingent “earn-outs” on the table, but that Xapo has yet to shake on the proposed deal. This news comes after Coinbase has revealed that it really intends to delve into custody, citing growing interest from its institutional clients and contacts. Brian Armstrong, Coinbase CEO, noted that Coinbase Pro’s volume is now 60% institutional, furthering the narrative that his company should continue to focus on the needs of big names, which many believe will mature the cryptocurrency market. Institutions are now widely amicable towards the digital asset class. Out of the “more than 400 U.S. institutional investors” polled, 47% agreed that cryptocurrencies should have a place in their portfolios.

 Xapo CEO Wences Casares hält es für "unverantwortlich", wenn ein Investor nicht mindestens ein Prozent in Bitcoin hält, da er einen größeren Einfluss auf die Welt haben könnte als das Internet. **Minimaler Bitcoin-Anteil - maximaler Gewinn** In einem Essay, der bereits im März 2019 von Kana und Katana veröffentlicht wurde, legte der Xapo-Chef ein Plädoyer für Bitcoin ab, mindestens ein Prozent jedes Anlageportfolios darin anzulegen. Laut Casares könnten 10 Millionen Dollar mit einer prozentualen Allokation in BTC innerhalb von sieben bis zehn Jahren fast 25 Millionen Dollar wert sein. Casares stützte seine Analyse auf die Prognose, dass BTC innerhalb des angegebenen Zeitrahmens 1 Million Dollar überschreiten könnte. Umgekehrt, wenn Bitcoin scheitert, hätte das Portfolio nur das ursprüngliche Prozent - 100.000 Dollar - verloren. Casares: *“Bitcoin bietet eine einzigartige Möglichkeit für eine nicht-materielle Exposition, um ein materielles Ergebnis zu erzielen. Es wäre unverantwortlich, eine Exposition gegenüber Bitcoin zu haben, die man sich nicht leisten kann zu verlieren, da das Risiko, das Kapital zu verlieren, sehr real ist. Aber es wäre fast ebenso unverantwortlich, überhaupt keine Exposition zu haben.“* Die Anlagelegende Biller Miller ist ein gutes Beispiel für die Logik von Casares. Im Juli 2017 nahm Miller eine einprozentige Position in BTC vor. Bis Mitte Dezember 2017 machte BTC 50 Prozent des gesamten verwalteten Vermögens von Miller aus, nur weil BTC/USD in diesem Zeitraum fast 700 Prozent an Wert gewann. Der Baisse-Markt 2018 dürfte den Anteil von Bitcoin am Rest des Miller-Portfolios wieder reduziert haben. Mit dem immer noch doppelt so hohen BTC-Preis wie im Juli 2017 liegt Millers Bitcoin-Anteil jedoch immer noch im grünen Bereich.  **Bitcoin ist wie das frühe Internet** Für Casares, dessen Unternehmen über 10 Milliarden Dollar an BTC für Kunden in Schweizer "Bunkern" lagert, sind die Anzeichen für den langfristigen Erfolg von Bitcoin im Laufe der Zeit nach wie vor offensichtlich. Zum einen sagt der Xapo-Chef, dass Bitcoin dem frühen Internet in vielerlei Hinsicht ähnelt. Er betonte, dass die Welt seit der Gründung des Internets wenig von Protokollentwicklungen gesehen hat und mehr Wert auf die Gründung von Unternehmen legte. Bitcoin, so der Xapo CEO, stellt ein neues paradigmenwechselndes Protokoll dar, das noch größere Auswirkungen haben könnte als das Internet. Casares ist sich aus rein technischer Sicht sicher, dass die Möglichkeit besteht, dass Bitcoin nicht unbedingt scheitert, sondern obsolet wird. Er sagt, dass Unternehmen Lösungen auf Protokollebene entwickeln könnten, die die Anwender mehr ansprechen als der aktuelle Entwicklungsstand von Bitcoin. Er hat schon zuvor ähnliche Ansichten geäußert und Bitcoin als ein intellektuelles Experiment beschrieben, das immer noch scheitern könnte. Bitcoins führungsloser Open-Source- und grenzenloser Zugang zu Technologie und Wirtschaft schmälert diese Möglichkeit jedoch ebenso wie sein ständig wachsender Netzwerkeffekt und First-Mover-Vorteil. In der Zwischenzeit wächst das Unbehagen über die Politik von Regierungen und Zentralbanken, die BTC zu einem noch attraktiveren Angebot für Investoren als Absicherung machen. **Vergessen Sie Altcoins – Bitcoin ist das große Ding** Casares fügt hinzu, dass die anderen über 2.000 Altcoins keine Chance haben. Der Xapo CEO sagt, dass Bitcoin als Protokoll bereits auf dem Weg ist, auf eine Art und Weise erfolgreich zu sein, die Altcoins nicht bieten können. Casares: *„Über 60 Millionen Menschen besitzen Bitcoin und über 1 Million Menschen werden jeden Monat neue Besitzer. Die anderen 1.000 Kryptowährungen [die mindestens eine Transaktion pro Tag verarbeiten] haben weniger als 5 Millionen Eigentümer zusammen, so dass Bitcoin in den nächsten 5 Monaten mehr Benutzer hinzufügen wird als diese 1.000 Kryptowährungen in ihrer gemeinsamen Historie.“* Bereits im August 2018 erklärte Casares, dass Altcoins irgendwann vor einem "Massensterben" stehen werden. Kommentatoren wie Matt Hougan von Bitwise und Barry Silbert von der Digital Currency Group glauben auch, dass die meisten Altcoins die Krypto-Version der Dot-Com-Blase sind, die sie nicht überstehen werden. Nach diesem Zeitpunkt werden die meisten Altcoins wertlos sein. Die Überlegenheit von Bitcoin wird noch deutlicher, da sein Handelsvolumen alle Kryptowährungen in den Schatten stellt, obwohl er weniger BTC-Transaktionen pro Tag vollzieht als einige Altcoins.

The company is incorporated in the Asian financial hub but that may also change soon due to the friendlier business environment in the Alpine nation. https://news.bitcoin.com/xapo-transfers-key-operations-to-switzerland/
