⚠️ Important Risk Information

Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.

The value of cryptoassets can go down as well as up. There is no guarantee that you will get back the amount you invested. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Cryptoassets are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

Before investing in cryptoassets, you should carefully consider whether they are right for you in light of your financial situation and investment objectives. We recommend seeking independent financial advice before making any investment decisions.
