Crypto is highly volatile; you can lose (part of) your investment.

Not financial advice

Everything on cryptocryptonews.com, including articles, reviews, price information and our social media posts, is general information and news only. It is not financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any crypto-asset. We do not give personal advice and we do not know your personal situation.

No promises about returns

We never promise or predict returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Prices of crypto-assets can rise and fall sharply within minutes.

Main risks of crypto-assets

• Volatility: prices can change very quickly and unpredictably.
• Total loss: you can lose all the money you put in, for example through price crashes, hacks, scams, lost keys or the failure of a provider.
• Limited protection: crypto-assets are generally not covered by the deposit guarantee scheme or the investor compensation scheme.
• Liquidity: you may not always be able to sell when you want, or at the price you expect.
• Leverage: leveraged products such as futures and CFDs can increase losses quickly. We do not promote them.

Only invest money you can afford to lose.

Do your own research

Before you buy a crypto-asset or use a provider, do your own research and consider getting independent advice from a licensed professional.

Check the provider’s licence

Only use crypto service providers that are authorised to serve customers in your country. In the EU, crypto-asset service providers need authorisation under MiCA. You can check this in:

• the public registers of the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM): afm.nl/en/sector/registers;
• the ESMA MiCA register: esma.europa.eu (MiCA).

Be careful with anyone who promises guaranteed or very high returns, pushes you to act fast, or asks for your private keys or recovery phrase.

Taxes

Owning, selling or exchanging crypto-assets can have tax consequences. You are responsible for declaring your crypto-assets and paying any taxes due in your country. Ask your tax authority or a tax adviser if you are unsure.
