Access, identity checks, and products
Phemex is a custodial platform that offers crypto spot trading and derivatives, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. The exact products offered to a country depend on local rules, so check the platform itself for the current list.
Derivatives products carry a high level of risk and are not offered everywhere. Trying to bypass a location restriction, for example by using a virtual private network or a foreign address, can breach the Phemex Terms of Use and put funds and account access at risk. The safer route is to use a platform that openly serves the Netherlands and to verify its status before signing up.
