Risk summary
Risk summary
Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be high risk.
What are the key risks?
You could lose all the money you invest
Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile in nature, with the value fluctuations being very unpredictable. You should do your own research into the history of the particular currency you are considering investing in, and be aware that you may lose the money that you invest.
You won’t get your money back quickly
Although you may have seen people making serious profits from some cryptocurrency historically, this is far from the norm. Most cryptocurrencies fluctuate widely in value, and the cryptocurrency you are considering investing in is just as likely to drop in value as rise. This means that making your money back may take a lot longer than anticipated, and you should be aware that the original value may never be realised.
No incentives or promotions
No incentives or promotions
U.K. customers are currently unable to participate in CEX.IO promotions. However, our team is actively engaged in aligning our services with local market regulations where appropriate, supporting compliance with all necessary rules and standards.
In addition, FCA regulations prohibit incentives to purchase within financial promotions. As the regulatory body has deemed cryptoassets "high-risk", CEX.IO will never design or market financial promotions to U.K. consumers that feature monetary or non-monetary incentives, such as "refer a friend" or "new joiner bonuses".
