Cryptocurrency trading has its own risks that are not generally shared with conventional currencies, goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Cryptocurrencies are backed by technology and trust in a digital, decentralised and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity. There is no central authority that can take corrective measures to protect the value of Cryptocurrencies in a crisis.
Cryptocurrency trading is susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or a sudden loss of confidence caused by new regulations or flaws in the technology, which could lead to a sharp plunge in demand relative to supply, resulting in a price collapse.
There may be additional unforeseeable risks that we have not identified in our Terms and Conditions. You should carefully assess your personal financial situation and risk tolerance before dealing with cryptocurrencies.
We do not provide any financial product advice, financial goods, or financial services. Nothing on our Platform should be construed as legal, financial, business, or taxation advice. In connection to any Cryptocurrency operations, users should get their own legal, financial, business, tax, and accounting advice.
