General Risk Warning
Trading or investing in financial instruments involves risk of loss. You should not commit funds you cannot afford to lose. Past performance of any market, strategy, or asset is not an indicator of future returns.

Cryptocurrency Risks
Digital asset markets present specific structural risks:
- Price volatility: Token prices can fluctuate by double-digit percentages within short periods.
- Custody risk: Assets stored in self-custody wallets can be permanently lost if private keys are mismanaged.
- Counterparty vulnerability: Centralized digital asset exchanges may face insolvency, security breaches, or withdrawal halts.
- Regulatory shifts: Laws governing token taxation and stablecoin compliance vary by country and change frequently.
Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and Margin Products
CFDs and margin-traded products are complex derivatives. A significant proportion (70% to 80%) of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. High gearing ratios multiply both gains and losses: small adverse price movements can deplete your entire deposited capital in minutes.
Consider whether you understand how margin borrowing functions and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your capital.
