Crypto Domain Hub
This is the canonical navigation hub for OpenClaw’s planned cryptocurrency trading and arbitrage infrastructure — covering Binance, Deribit, Hyperliquid, and cross-exchange arbitrage strategies. This domain is currently PLANNED/BLOCKED. The same BetterBets EU compliance blockers (B1-B5) that gate trading also gate this domain. This hub is intentionally thin — Tier 4 integration hubs are deferred until the domain reaches pre-launch status. Read this hub for architecture intent and blocker status. For broader trading context, see the sibling trading hub.

⚠️ Compliance block — CANNOT TRADE TODAY
Same 5 blockers as trading. All OPEN as of 2026-05-04:
| Blocker | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| B1 | CPA review of Estonia OÜ entity structure | OPEN |
| B2 | Binance UBO policy — Henry as UBO declaration | OPEN |
| B3 | Puerto Rico Act 60 interaction with EU entity | OPEN |
| B4 | Polymarket legal review (CFTC jurisdiction, cross-domain) | OPEN |
| B5 | Binance × Puerto Rico residency conflict | OPEN |
Crypto-specific additional risks:
- Binance.com (not .us) KYB requires UBO declaration — B2 blocks account activation
- Deribit: EU-domiciled (Amsterdam), may require EU entity — B1 dependency
- Hyperliquid: US-persons restrictions may apply — B3/B4 dependency
- Arbitrage strategies crossing CEX/DEX may implicate FinCEN MSB rules
Domain members (integrations)
Tier 4 deferred. All crypto exchange integrations are forward-references. Full hub authoring planned for Wave 4+ when domain reaches pre-launch.
- supabase — Will serve as trade log, position DB, arb signal store
- hetzner — EU node (Frankfurt; €5.10/mo); low-latency to EU exchanges

Active agents in this domain
| Agent | Role | Status |
|---|---|---|
| n/a | No crypto agents deployed | pre-operational |
Planned agent architecture (post-blocker resolution):
- Market data agent: OHLCV ingest + spread monitoring (Haiku tier)
- Arbitrage signal agent: cross-exchange opportunity scoring (Sonnet tier)
- Execution agent: order routing + position sizing (Sonnet tier)
- Risk agent: drawdown kill switch + PnL reporting (Haiku tier)
- All agents: portkey → anthropic
Business status
Current state: Planned. Architecture is documented in KB stubs (knowledge-base/crypto-arbitrage/, knowledge-base/binance/, knowledge-base/deribit/, knowledge-base/hyperliquid/). No live infrastructure. No funded accounts. No API keys active.
KB stubs available (SOURCE PARTIAL — audit-only content):
workspace/knowledge-base/crypto-trading/— general crypto trading patternsworkspace/knowledge-base/crypto-arbitrage/— arb strategy documentationworkspace/knowledge-base/binance/— Binance API patternsworkspace/knowledge-base/binance-us/— Binance.US (US-regulated variant)workspace/knowledge-base/deribit/— Deribit API patternsworkspace/knowledge-base/hyperliquid/— Hyperliquid DEX patternsworkspace/knowledge-base/bitsgap/— Bitsgap bot integration
EU node strategy: Hetzner Frankfurt provides <10ms latency to Deribit (Amsterdam) and <20ms to Kraken (EU). Optimal for HFT/arb when blockers clear.
Compliance considerations
| Layer | Status | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| CFTC | B4 open | Certain crypto derivatives = commodity futures |
| SEC | Review needed | Token classification risk (securities vs commodities) |
| FinCEN AML/KYC | Pending B1 | EU entity triggers EU AML5 compliance |
| Binance KYB | B2 + B5 open | UBO + PR residency conflict |
| Deribit eligibility | B1 dependency | EU entity may be required |
| Hyperliquid US-person | B3/B4 TBD | US-person restrictions unclear |
| G-NO-PLAINTEXT-CREDS | Enforced | All exchange API keys via op://Aurora/<exchange>/<field> |

Open issues / TODOs
- B1-B5: all blockers require resolution before any crypto infrastructure can go live
- Binance.com vs Binance.US: determine which entity aligns with Estonia OÜ + PR residency
- Hyperliquid US-person restriction: legal opinion needed (B3/B4 cross-dependency)
- Deribit EU entity requirement: confirm after B1 CPA review
- Tier 4 hubs: deferred until domain reaches pre-launch — do not author until B1-B5 resolved
- KB stubs: upgrade from audit-only to production-ready after go-live decision
