B Property Interests and Protection of Client Virtual Assets

1.
 
VASPs providing VA Transfer and Settlement Services are prohibited from selling, transferring, assigning, lending, rehypothecating, pledging, converting into another Virtual Asset, or otherwise using or encumbering any Virtual Assets for the purposes of a transmission or transfer, and/or settlement, or authorising or permitting the same, except when authorised by explicit consent from their client to do so, as part of the VA Transfer and Settlement Services being provided to that client.
2.
 
The consent required under Rule II.B.1 of this VA Transfer and Settlement Services Rulebook must be secured through explicit instruction from, or acceptance by the client prior to the VASP carrying out any VA Transfer and Settlement Services for that client, but is not required on a per transmission or transfer, and/or settlement basis, unless explicitly required by the client, insofar as the said transmission or transfer, and/or settlement meets the conditions consented to by the client.
