This information is an integral part of the Client Advisory Agreement. Please review it carefully.
INVESTMENTS IN DIGITAL ASSETS ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR TOTAL LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT. These assets are suitable only for sophisticated investors with a high-risk tolerance.
Client understands and accepts the following risks, which are not exhaustive:
The value of digital assets can fluctuate dramatically and unpredictably.
Digital assets are targets for cybercriminals. Loss, theft, or compromise of your private keys will result in permanent and irreversible loss of your assets.
The regulatory framework for digital assets is evolving and subject to change, which could materially affect the value, liquidity, and legality of certain assets.
DeFi protocols involve complex smart contracts subject to flaws, bugs, or exploits that could result in total loss of deposited funds.
Third-party platforms carry risks of insolvency, hacking, and operational failure.
Blockchain transactions are immutable and cannot be reversed once confirmed.
Client represents and agrees that:
TRADING IN DERIVATIVES PRODUCTS IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IT IS SUITABLE ONLY FOR FINANCIALLY SOPHISTICATED CLIENTS WHO HAVE A HIGH RISK TOLERANCE AND ARE PREPARED TO SUSTAIN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES, POTENTIALLY EXCEEDING THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. YOU MAY LOSE MORE THAN YOU INVEST.
Derivatives are leveraged instruments. Small adverse movements in the underlying asset can result in substantial, magnified losses.
When purchasing an option, your maximum loss is typically the premium paid. However, you can lose this entire amount if the option expires worthless.
Certain strategies, such as uncovered call options or short futures positions, expose you to theoretically unlimited losses.
Options lose time value as expiration approaches, potentially to zero, even if the underlying asset's price remains unchanged.
Futures contracts require margin. Adverse market movements may trigger margin calls requiring immediate additional funds.
Cryptocurrency derivatives carry amplified risks due to less regulated, highly volatile underlying markets.
