Crypto assets are a high-risk investment.
Before investing in crypto through the EasyCrypto Bundles, it’s important that you understand the key risks involved.
To help, we’ve listed some of the main risks associated with investing in crypto assets (this list is not exhaustive):
Crypto assets are highly volatile.
- Their value can move up and down sharply over very short periods of time. This means the risk of loss can be substantial, and your investment could lose a significant portion - or even all - of its value.
The crypto ecosystem is still developing.
- Crypto assets form part of a relatively new and fast-evolving industry. Changes in technology, sentiment, or regulation can all impact prices and how the market functions.
There is cyber and operational risk.
- Crypto asset service providers (such as exchanges, wallets, and other infrastructure) may be exposed to hacking, theft, fraud, technical failures, or other malicious activity. These events can affect access, pricing, or the ability to trade.
Regulation is evolving.
- In South Africa, crypto assets are now treated as financial products and fall under the FAIS regulatory framework. While this introduces oversight and standards, it does not remove market, technology, or operational risks, and the regulatory environment may continue to change over time.
You should carefully consider whether this type of investment is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.
You should not invest more than you are prepared to lose.
Please make sure you understand the risks involved with crypto assets and read the EasyCrypto Bundles Ts & Cs before purchasing any EasyCrypto Bundle.
