- Risk Disclosure
- Users shall carefully and rationally choose to hold or dispose of any digital assets according to their financial status and risk preference. Services rendered on this platform in relation to digital assets can be subject to substantial risks, including without limitation:
- The legal status of certain digital assets may be uncertain, which means that the legality of holding or trading them may be uncertain. Whether and how one or more digital assets constitute property, or assets, or rights of any kind may also seem unclear. Users are responsible for knowing and understanding how digital assets will be addressed, regulated and taxed under applicable law. Users are solely responsible for any loss arising from the suspension or prohibition of digital assets trading due to the promulgation of or amendment to Laws or Regulatory Rules.
- Having digital assets on deposit with us or with any third party in a custodial relationship (including this platform) faces certain risks including risk of hacking or security breaches, risk of contractual breach and risk of losses. Users should be wary of allowing any third party to hold or otherwise manage their digital assets for any reason.
- The price of digital assets and the income from them (if applicable) can be volatile and highly unpredictable and any individual digital assets may experience upward or downward movements and may even become valueless. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling such digital assets.
- Where off-exchange transactions are involved, such transactions may involve increased risks since it may be difficult to liquidate an existing position, determine a fair price or assess exposure to risk. Off-exchange transactions are not as transparent as transactions conducted on any recognised exchange. You may be subject to our counterparty risk under an off-exchange transaction. You should evaluate the comparative credit risk and undertake appropriate due diligence on both us and the applicable product before undertaking any off-exchange transaction.
- Conflicts of interest: We or other digital asset trading service providers may be acting as agents for you as well as acting as principals against you. We or other relevant service providers may facilitate the initial distribution of digital assets (such as, initial coin offerings), secondary market trading, or both, in manners similar to a traditional exchange, alternative trading system or securities broker. If these operations are not under the purview of any regulator, it would be difficult to detect, monitor and manage conflicts of interest.
- The market information shown on this platform is only sourced from third parties, and it may not be the latest market or the best quotation.

We will undertake reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of website information but could not guarantee the accuracy of such website information, and shall not be responsible for any losses directly or indirectly arising from the information of this platform, or the failure to connect to Internet, or the delay or failure in transmitting or receiving any notification or information.
