Cryptocurrency investing can result in partial or total loss. Markets are volatile, regulation evolves, and technology failures or user errors can be irreversible.
Major risk categories
- Market risk — prices can gap down sharply
- Custody risk — exchanges and wallets can fail or be compromised
- Regulatory risk — rules may change how assets are traded or taxed
- Operational risk — lost keys, incorrect tags, smart contract bugs on other chains
