Definitions
For any term not expressly defined in this Notice, reference is made to the definitions set out in the General Terms and Conditions — Crypto-asset Services.
Crypto-asset: a digital representation of value or of rights which can be transferred and stored electronically using distributed ledger technology or similar technology, within the meaning of article 3(1)(5) MiCAR.
E-money token (EMT): a crypto-asset that aims to maintain a stable value by referencing the value of an official currency, within the meaning of article 3(1)(7) MiCAR. USD Coin (USDC) is a crypto-asset qualifiable as an EMT, issued by Circle Internet Financial and pegged to the US dollar (USD).
Trading pair: a combination of two assets used as mutual reference in exchange transactions on the platform. A trading pair is identified by the base crypto-asset (base asset) and the quote asset. By way of example, the “LINEA-USDC” pair identifies exchange transactions involving the LINEA crypto-asset, denominated in USDC.
Migration: the set of operational changes described in this Notice, consisting in the replacement of the quote asset of four trading pairs currently quoted in USDC with the corresponding Euro (EUR) denominator, effective as of 01 July 2026.
Young Platform Pro: the advanced platform operated by the Company, accessible at pro.youngplatform.com, through which the Execution of Orders on Behalf of Clients is provided pursuant to article 78 MiCAR, in which the Company acts as intermediary (Agent), routing the Client’s order to External Execution Venues or counterparties selected in accordance with the Execution Policy.
Active order (or pending order): a buy or sell order submitted by the User on the platform and not yet executed or cancelled at the time of the operational update described in this Notice.
4. Subject matter and scope of the migration
4.1 With effect from 01 July 2026, Young Platform proceeds with the migration of the following four trading pairs currently available on the Young Platform Pro platform, replacing their quote asset from USDC to Euro (EUR):
| FROM | TO | Crypto-asset |
| LINEA-USDC | LINEA-EUR | Linea (LINEA) |
| OP-USDC | OP-EUR | Optimism (OP) |
| WLD-USDC | WLD-EUR | Worldcoin (WLD) |
| ZK-USDC | ZK-EUR | ZKsync (ZK) |
4.2 The migration entails the definitive closure of the -USDC pairs listed in paragraph 4.1 and the opening of the corresponding -EUR pairs on the Young Platform Pro platform. The base crypto-assets (LINEA, OP, WLD, ZK) remain fully available on the platform and may be exchanged after the migration exclusively through the new Euro-denominated pairs.
4.3 This Notice does not affect in any way:
(a) the availability of the base crypto-assets (LINEA, OP, WLD, ZK) on the platform, which remain held and safeguarded in the Users’ Wallets under the ordinary modalities set out in the Crypto-asset Custody Policy pursuant to article 75 MiCAR;
(b) the availability of the USDC Token on the platform, which remains tradable through the pairs and operational channels not affected by this migration, in accordance with the rules applicable to e-money tokens under Title IV MiCAR;
(c) the contractual framework governing the relationship between the User and the Company, described in the Young Platform Terms and Conditions — Crypto-asset Services.
Operational rationale and regulatory framework
5.1 The migration described in the preceding paragraph 4 is motivated by operational efficiency reasons, aimed at improving the overall quality of trading on the affected pairs. Denomination in Euro, in particular, allows: (i) the reduction of the conversion steps needed for Users operating in Euro as reference currency; (ii) the concentration of liquidity on the pairs most representative of the European market; (iii) a more direct correspondence between the value of orders displayed and the countervalue perceived by the User.
5.2 The update described in this Notice is provided within the scope of the Execution of Orders on Behalf of Clients pursuant to article 78 MiCAR, provided by the Company on the Young Platform Pro platform. The Company acts as intermediary (Agent), routing the Client’s orders to External Execution Venues or counterparties selected in accordance with its Execution Policy.
5.3 The migration is in line with the general principles set out in Article 68 MiCAR, according to which the crypto-asset service provider must act honestly, fairly and professionally in the best interest of its clients, providing clear and non-misleading information. The choice of the EUR as the denominator for the pairs indicated in paragraph 4.1 is intended to align the platform’s operational perimeter with the representative preferences of the Company’s Italian and European clientele.
5.4 The base crypto-assets subject to the migration (LINEA, OP, WLD, ZK) remain selected and admitted to the Execution of Orders service on the Young Platform Pro platform according to the criteria adopted by the Company, including: market capitalisation and liquidity of the asset on the main reference markets; availability of reliable and continuous price sources; adequacy of trading volumes on the reference markets; absence of regulatory restrictions applicable to the asset; positive outcome of the due diligence checks carried out by the Company.
Effects of the migration on pending orders
6.1 All buy and sell orders pending on the -USDC pairs listed in paragraph 4.1 (LINEA-USDC, OP-USDC, WLD-USDC, ZK-USDC) at the effective date of the migration have been automatically closed by the Company’s systems as a result of the definitive closure of such pairs.
6.2 The automatic closure of pending orders does not entail any charge for the User nor any consequence on the overall position held by the User in the custody Wallet. The crypto-assets and USDC tokens that may have been locked in pending orders are made available again in the User’s Wallets upon the orders’ closure.
Operations after the migration
7.1 Starting from the effective date of the migration, the User may operate on the new -EUR pairs (LINEA-EUR, OP-EUR, WLD-EUR, ZK-EUR) on the Young Platform Pro in accordance with the ordinary modalities of access and execution set out in the General Terms and Conditions — Crypto-asset Services and in the Procedure on the Execution of Orders on Behalf of Clients pursuant to article 78 MiCAR.
7.2 The submission of new orders on the -EUR pairs is subject to the ordinary conditions of access to the Execution of Orders service, including: (i) the successful completion of the customer due diligence procedures (KYC/AML); (ii) the prior availability of funds in Euro or of the base crypto-asset in the Client’s Wallet with Young Platform (Pre-funding); (iii) compliance with the Company’s operational limits, anti-money laundering controls and commercial policies.
7.3 The User who intends to maintain positions in USDC for the purpose of trading on other pairs available on the platform may continue to hold and move the USDC Token in their Wallet, according to the ordinary modalities set out in the Terms and Conditions — Crypto-asset Services and in compliance with the rules applicable to e-money tokens under Title IV MiCAR.
7.4 The Company makes available, on the platform’s official pages, the updated list of active trading pairs, applicable fees and supported order types, accessible at: exchange.youngplatform.com/en/fees. The User is invited to check this information periodically, as the availability of pairs and operational modalities may be subject to updates.

Risks and warnings
9.1 This Notice describes an operational update of the scope of the trading pairs offered by the Company on the Young Platform Pro platform. The change does not affect the technical characteristics, rights, or functions of the base crypto-assets involved (LINEA, OP, WLD, ZK), nor the status of the USDC Token as an e-money token under MiCAR.
9.2 The User acknowledges that, as a result of the definitive closure of the -USDC pairs and the opening of the corresponding -EUR pairs, market prices of the base crypto-assets may be expressed in Euro instead of USDC. This circumstance may entail perceptive differences on the price level and in the depth of the register, depending on the liquidity dynamics of the new pairs. The Company adopts the pre- and post-trade transparency safeguards set out in the applicable rules to ensure clarity of execution conditions.
9.3 Crypto-assets are instruments characterised by high volatility and entail a significant risk of loss, including total loss, of the invested capital. Held crypto-assets do not benefit from the guarantee schemes provided for bank deposits (Directive 2014/49/EU) nor from the investor compensation schemes (Directive 97/9/EC). Historical performance and any forecasts do not constitute a guarantee of future results.
