Non-Custodial Statement

Last Updated: February 15, 2026

Capital Minds Does NOT Hold Your Funds

Capital Minds operates as a non-custodial platform. We do not have access to, hold, manage, control, or have any ability to move your trading capital or cryptocurrency assets. Your funds remain entirely under your control at all times.

What We DO

  • Provide trading signals and strategy information
  • Display performance analytics and metrics
  • Connect strategy providers with followers
  • Offer educational content and resources
  • Process platform subscription payments

What We DON'T Do

  • Hold, store, or custody user funds
  • Execute trades on your behalf
  • Access your broker or exchange accounts
  • Move, transfer, or manage your capital
  • Provide investment management services

1. Non-Custodial Architecture

Capital Minds is designed from the ground up as a non-custodial platform. This means:

  • No Fund Storage: We have no infrastructure, wallets, or accounts to receive or store user trading capital.
  • No Account Access: We never request or store your broker credentials, API keys with withdrawal permissions, or exchange passwords.
  • Information Only: Our platform transmits information (signals, analytics) but does not transmit funds or execute transactions.

2. Your Funds, Your Control

At all times, your trading capital remains:

  • In your personal broker or exchange accounts
  • Under your exclusive control with your own credentials
  • Accessible only to you (and your chosen broker/exchange)
  • Subject to the terms of your broker/exchange, not Capital Minds
You Hold the Keys

Your broker account credentials, API keys, and wallet private keys should never be shared with Capital Minds. If anyone claiming to represent Capital Minds asks for such information, it is a scam.

3. How Copy Trading Works (Non-Custodially)

Our copy trading infrastructure operates without requiring custody of funds:

  1. Signal Generation: Strategy providers trade in their own accounts and our system records their trading activity.
  2. Signal Distribution: Trading signals are distributed to followers through our platform.
  3. User Decision: You receive the signal and decide whether to execute the trade in your own account.
  4. Self-Execution: You manually execute trades in your own broker account, or use your own automated tools.

At no point in this process does Capital Minds have access to or control over your funds.

4. Payment Processing Clarification

When you pay for Capital Minds subscription services:

  • These are service fees for platform access, not investment capital
  • Payments go to Capital Minds for services rendered
  • This is entirely separate from your trading capital
  • Service fees are processed through standard payment processors

Note: Platform subscription fees are not trading deposits and are not held as investment capital on your behalf.

5. Broker & Exchange Relationships

Capital Minds may have partnerships with brokers and exchanges, but:

  • These partnerships do not give us access to your accounts
  • Any funds deposited with a broker remain with that broker
  • We are not responsible for broker/exchange operations or solvency
  • You should conduct your own due diligence on any broker you use

6. What This Means for Your Security

Reduced Counterparty Risk

Since we don't hold your funds, Capital Minds cannot lose, misappropriate, or have your capital frozen.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for the security of your own broker accounts, API keys, and trading decisions.

7. Regulatory Clarification

Because Capital Minds is a non-custodial platform:

  • We do not operate as a broker, dealer, or investment manager
  • We do not hold securities or financial instruments on your behalf
  • User funds are not covered by any Capital Minds insurance or protection
  • You should verify your broker's regulatory status and protections

Non-Custodial Acknowledgment

By using Capital Minds, you acknowledge and understand that this is a non-custodial platform. Capital Minds does not hold, control, or have access to your trading funds. You maintain full control and responsibility for your own capital at all times. All trading decisions and executions are made by you in your own accounts.
