Rules for Administering the Trading Platform

Last updated: July 1, 2025

1. Introduction

At Veli UAB (“Veli”, “we”, or “the Company”), we are committed to operating our crypto-asset trading platform with fairness, transparency, and integrity.

These Rules for Administering the Platform describe how we manage access, process orders, monitor trading activity, and protect our users and the wider crypto market from abuse or manipulation.

Our platform operates in line with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), particularly Article 91, which sets standards for preventing market abuse and ensuring fair access for all users.

2. Purpose and Scope

These rules ensure that all trading activity on the Veli platform is conducted securely, transparently, and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

They apply to all:

  • Platform users and registered clients;
  • Employees and service providers involved in trading operations; and
  • Partners and liquidity providers integrated with our systems.

 

The scope includes:

  • Access and participation on the trading platform;
  • Order handling and transmission to liquidity providers;
  • Market integrity and abuse monitoring;
  • User conduct; and
  • Data protection and confidentiality.

3. Platform Access

Access to the Veli platform is restricted to clients who have successfully completed Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification.

Each user receives personal, non-transferable login credentials to access the trading environment.

Account sharing or unauthorized access is strictly prohibited.

Veli may suspend or revoke platform access in cases of suspicious, unlawful, or non-compliant activity.

These measures help ensure that all market participants are verified and that trading remains safe and transparent for everyone.

4. Order Handling and Transparency

Veli provides clients with access to trade crypto-assets via integrated third-party liquidity providers.

While we do not execute orders directly, we ensure that every order is handled fairly, efficiently, and transparently.

 

4.1 How Orders Are Processed

Orders are transmitted automatically to our approved liquidity partners for execution.

Orders are generally handled using price–time priority, meaning earlier orders at the same price take precedence.

Execution follows best-effort standards, ensuring fair treatment and optimal pricing based on available market data.

 

4.2 Market Data Transparency

The platform displays real-time trading data, including:

  • Best bid and ask prices;
  • Last traded price;
  • Trading volume (where available).

 

Data is refreshed continuously, subject to the capabilities of our connected liquidity sources.

Our order-routing and matching logic are designed to ensure that all clients receive consistent, transparent pricing information.

5. Market Integrity and Abuse Prevention

Veli maintains systems and controls to detect and prevent market abuse.

We use automated tools and analytics to monitor trading activity for potential irregularities, including:

  • Insider dealing (using non-public information for unfair advantage);
  • Market manipulation (such as spoofing, wash trading, or pump-and-dump schemes);
  • Dissemination of false or misleading information that could distort prices or harm market confidence.

 

We analyze user behavior, order patterns, and trade data to detect potential misconduct.

If suspicious activity is identified, it is immediately reviewed and may be reported to the relevant regulatory authority.

6. Reporting Suspicious Activity

Market integrity is a shared responsibility.

Both users and employees must report any suspicious or potentially manipulative activity.

If you observe unusual behavior, please contact our compliance team immediately: compliance@veli.io

7. User Conduct

To maintain a fair and trusted marketplace, all users must act honestly, fairly, and in good faith when using the platform.

The following activities are strictly prohibited:

  • Using bots, scripts, or automation tools to manipulate prices or order flow;
  • Collusion or coordinated trading between multiple accounts;
  • Submitting orders without genuine intent to trade (e.g., spoofing);
  • Spreading false or misleading information to influence prices;
  • Attempting to exploit system vulnerabilities or unfairly interfere with trading operations.

 

Violations may result in account suspension or termination, fund freezes, and, where appropriate, reporting to regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

8. Confidentiality and Data Protection

Veli ensures the integrity, security, and confidentiality of all user data and trading activity.

Trading logs and market data are stored securely and are accessible only to authorized personnel.

All data is protected under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and retained for at least five years, as required by MiCA.

Information shared with regulators is limited to what is strictly necessary and handled in compliance with privacy laws.

We take data security seriously and continuously monitor our systems to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

9. Commitment to Fair and Transparent Markets

Veli’s mission is to provide a trusted, compliant, and transparent trading environment for all users.

By following these rules, we protect the integrity of our platform and contribute to a safer and more responsible crypto-asset market.
