1. Highly Speculative Nature and Risk of Total Loss
Cryptoassets are highly speculative and may result in partial or total loss of capital. Market prices may fluctuate significantly and unpredictably.

Cryptoasset prices may experience extreme and sudden movements within short time periods due to market sentiment, liquidity conditions, regulatory developments, technological events or macroeconomic factors.

Orders may be executed at prices different from those expected. Execution may be delayed, partially filled or rejected depending on market conditions and liquidity.

The legal and regulatory framework applicable to cryptoassets is evolving and may change. Regulatory developments may affect the value, transferability or availability of cryptoassets.
