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:

BlockerDescriptionStatus
B1CPA review of Estonia OÜ entity structureOPEN
B2Binance UBO policy — Henry as UBO declarationOPEN
B3Puerto Rico Act 60 interaction with EU entityOPEN
B4Polymarket legal review (CFTC jurisdiction, cross-domain)OPEN
B5Binance × Puerto Rico residency conflictOPEN

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
  • [[wiki/_hubs/integrations/binance]] — Tier 4 deferred; spot/futures/options; B2 + B5 gate
  • [[wiki/_hubs/integrations/deribit]] — Tier 4 deferred; options/perpetuals; EU-domiciled; B1 dependency
  • [[wiki/_hubs/integrations/hyperliquid]] — Tier 4 deferred; DEX perpetuals; US-person restrictions TBD
  • [[wiki/_hubs/integrations/kraken]] — Tier 4 deferred; spot; EU entity eligible
  • [[wiki/_hubs/integrations/coinbase]] — Tier 4 deferred; US-regulated spot; no EU B1 dependency

Arbitrage stack (planned, not implemented):

  • hummingbot or bitsgap for CEX-CEX arb (see KB stubs in knowledge-base/)
  • crypto-arbitrage KB stub exists: workspace/knowledge-base/crypto-arbitrage/
  • Cross-exchange signal latency target: <100ms on EU node

Active agents in this domain

AgentRoleStatus
n/aNo crypto agents deployedpre-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: portkeyanthropic

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 patterns
  • workspace/knowledge-base/crypto-arbitrage/ — arb strategy documentation
  • workspace/knowledge-base/binance/ — Binance API patterns
  • workspace/knowledge-base/binance-us/ — Binance.US (US-regulated variant)
  • workspace/knowledge-base/deribit/ — Deribit API patterns
  • workspace/knowledge-base/hyperliquid/ — Hyperliquid DEX patterns
  • workspace/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.

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
