For the purposes of determining the additional amount of capital that must be maintained by a licensee, the CBB may consider a variety of factors, including but not limited to:

(a) the composition of the licensee's total assets, including the position, size, liquidity, risk exposure, and price volatility of each type of crypto asset;
(b) the composition of the licensee's total liabilities, including the size and repayment timing of each type of liability;
(c) the actual and expected volume of the licensee's crypto asset business activity;
(d) the liquidity position of the licensee;
(e) the types of products or services to be offered by the licensee;
(f) there is a change in the business of the licensee that the CBB considers material;
(g) the licensee is exposed to risk or elements of risks that are not covered or not sufficiently covered by the minimum capital requirement;
(h) the prudential valuation of the trading book is insufficient to enable the licensee to sell or hedge out its position within a short period without incurring material losses under normal market conditions;
(i) the licensee fails to establish or maintain an adequate level of additional capital to ensure that (i) cyclical economic fluctuations do not lead to a breach of the minimum capital requirement; or (ii) the capital requirement can absorb the potential losses and risks.
