Kuwait context
Kuwait has taken a firm regulatory stance against crypto for payments: the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) and Central Bank of Kuwait have explicitly prohibited the use of crypto as a payment instrument and barred regulated financial institutions from dealing in virtual assets. Personal ownership through offshore venues, however, is not criminalised. Kuwait's Awqaf Public Authority has not issued a comprehensive ruling, and the country's significant Muslim retail investor community typically follows AAOIFI-aligned screening for spot positions held abroad.
Regulation in Kuwait
Primary regulator: Capital Markets Authority (CMA); Central Bank of Kuwait
CMA Resolution 105/2023 and Central Bank guidance prohibit crypto as a payment instrument and prevent licensed Kuwaiti financial institutions from dealing in virtual assets.
Personal ownership via global exchanges is the standard retail path. Our bot's spot-only execution and read+spot-only API key model fit the conservative posture local regulators have adopted.
Pricing is USD only ($49 / $69 / $99) via DodoPayments and NowPayments. KWD is informational only.

Strategy framing
The bot does not scalp. It targets asymmetric multi-X outcomes — minimum 3% in 4 hours, or 5% in 1 hour, or pyramid-target trades — with structural exits, not micro-tick churn. Every trade is a direct spot purchase (T+0 settlement) with no leverage, no perpetuals, no margin.
