The purpose of this Risk Disclosure is to inform you of the key risks associated with the use of cryptoassets and related services. This document does not cover all possible risks, and you should carefully consider whether engaging with cryptoassets is suitable for your financial situation and risk tolerance.

1. Market risk and volatility

• Cryptoassets are highly volatile and can lose value rapidly.

• You may lose the entire value of any cryptoassets you acquire.

• Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

2. Lack of protection

• Cryptoassets are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

• You do not have recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

• If a third-party service provider fails, you may have no compensation rights.

3. Regulatory risk

• The regulatory status of cryptoassets in the UK and internationally is evolving.

• Changes in law or regulation may restrict or prohibit your ability to use, transfer, or exchange cryptoassets.

4. Technology and cybersecurity risks

• Transactions on blockchain networks are irreversible. Errors in wallet addresses or transaction details can result in permanent loss.

• Systems may be subject to cyberattacks, fraud, or operational failures.

5. No financial advice

• Information provided by VirtuaBroker, including on our websites, is for informational and technological purposes only.

• We do not provide financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. You are solely responsible for your decisions.

Important warning

Cryptoassets are high-risk investments. You should not invest unless you are prepared to lose the entire amount invested.

Cryptoassets are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in most circumstances, and you will not benefit from FSCS or FOS protections.

Recommendation:
Before engaging in cryptoasset activity, you should:

• Consider whether you understand how cryptoassets work.

• Assess whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

• Seek independent financial advice if necessary.
