Cryptoasset risk summary.

Cryptoasset prices can be extremely volatile. Their value can fall rapidly as well as rise, and you should be prepared for the possibility of losing your entire investment.

Money or cryptoassets may also be lost through cyberattacks, fraud, financial crime, platform failure, operational problems or the loss of private keys.

Past performance does not predict future results. Previous price increases, trading results or market performance do not guarantee that similar results will happen again.

Most direct cryptoasset investments are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

The Financial Ombudsman Service will generally not be able to consider complaints about unregulated activities provided by The UK Crypto Podcast.

There is no guarantee that a cryptoasset can be sold at a particular time or price.

The ability to sell can depend on market demand, available liquidity and whether the relevant exchange or platform is operating normally. Technology failures, withdrawals being suspended, cyberattacks, platform insolvency or other operational problems may prevent or delay a sale.

The availability of a product on an overseas platform does not necessarily mean that it is lawful, suitable or appropriate for a UK consumer.

Concentrating money in one cryptoasset, platform or type of investment increases risk. Diversification may reduce dependence on one investment, but it cannot prevent losses.
