Risk Disclosure

1. You can lose money

The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you put in. No instrument on this platform is principal-protected, none of it is a savings product, and balances held in crypto assets are not covered by deposit guarantee schemes.

2. Market risk, by asset class

Crypto assets are exceptionally volatile: double-digit daily moves are normal, not exceptional, and trading never closes. Equities carry company and earnings risk and trade only during exchange hours — prices can gap over nights and weekends. Foreign exchange moves on rates, data releases and central-bank decisions. Precious metals are quieter but far from immune.

Diversification reduces some risks and eliminates none. In stressed markets, correlations rise and most things fall together.

3. Liquidity and execution risk

Market orders fill at the best available price, which in thin markets can differ meaningfully from the last printed price — that difference is slippage, and it is yours. Limit orders may never fill. Stop-loss orders trigger a market order and do not guarantee the stop price, especially across gaps.

4. Staking risk

Locked stakes cannot be exited before maturity — if the asset's price falls during the lock, you carry that move to the end. Rewards accrue at the stated rate, but the value of both principal and rewards floats with the asset. Staking rewards are not interest on deposits.

5. Technology and operational risk

Blockchains congest, banking rails delay, and no trading platform can promise uninterrupted availability — including this one. We publish our uptime honestly on the status page, hold customer assets predominantly in cold storage and attest reserves monthly, but technology risk can never be reduced to zero.

Crypto transactions are irreversible. A withdrawal sent to the wrong address or the wrong network cannot be recalled by anyone, including us.

6. No advice

Nothing on this platform — prices, charts, news, the Learning Center, the blog — is investment advice or a recommendation. We provide execution and information. Decisions, and their consequences, are yours.

If you are unsure whether trading is appropriate for your circumstances, seek independent financial advice before funding an account.

7. Taxes

Trading, staking rewards, referral commissions and card spending from asset balances may all create tax obligations in your jurisdiction. We report where the law requires; the responsibility for declaring and paying remains yours.

8. The one-paragraph version

Only trade with money you can afford to lose. Size positions so a bad week is survivable. Read the fee schedule, use the security features, and treat anything that sounds too good to be true as exactly that — including, and especially, things that quote this platform's name.
