Study Guide

Hub

Risks of Dealing with Unregulated Entities

Offshore or unlicensed platforms may appear attractive, but can carry materially greater risk and offer limited avenues for recourse.

Hub

Business Conduct Risk

Strong governance and transparent conduct matter. Poor business practices can expose customers to manipulation, conflicts and misleading market activity.

Hub

Technological Risks

Digital assets rely on technology and internet security. Phishing, fake sites, compromised credentials and smart-contract vulnerabilities can result in permanent losses.

Hub

Custody Risk

Safeguarding arrangements can reduce risk, but digital assets remain exposed to operational, cyber and third-party risks.

Hub

Liquidity Risk

You may not always be able to buy, sell or withdraw digital assets quickly at the price you expect.

Hub

Price Volatility

Digital asset prices can move sharply and unpredictably. Significant losses can occur over a short period of time.
