Risks of ETPs & Cryptocurrencies
An investment in an ETP backed by one or more cryptocurrencies, such as those issued by BEU, is dependent on the performance of the underlying cryptocurrency, less costs, but it is not expected to match the performance of the underlying asset precisely. Investing in ETPs also involves numerous risks including general market risks relating to underlying, adverse price movements, currency, liquidity, operational, legal and regulatory risks and investors should be prepared to lose some or all of the amount invested.
ETPs backed by cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets and performance is unpredictable. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The market price of ETPs will vary and they do not offer a fixed income. The value of any ETP may be affected by exchange rates and the price movement of its underlying cryptocurrency(ies). This website may contain forward looking statements including statements regarding Bitwise Europe’s belief or current expectations with regards to the performance of certain asset classes. Forward looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and there can be no assurance that such statements will be accurate and actual results could differ materially from those indicated. You must not place reliance on forward-looking statements or any other similar information contained in this website.
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and are known for their extreme and rapid fluctuations in prices. While there may be potential for significant gains, you are at risk of losing part or all of your entire capital invested. The price of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate widely and, for example, may be impacted by global and regional political, economic or financial events, regulatory events or statements by regulators, investment trading, hedging or other activities by a wide range of market participants, forks in underlying protocols, disruptions to the infrastructure or means by which crypto assets are produced, distributed, stored and traded. Characteristics of cryptocurrencies and divergence of applicable regulatory standards create the potential for market abuse. The price of cryptocurrencies may also change due to shifting investor confidence in future outlook of the asset class.
For a detailed overview of risks associated with cryptocurrencies and specifically associated with BEU’s products, please refer to the prospectus and final terms, which are available in the “Resources” section of the Bitwise Europe website at bitwiseinvestments.eu/resources/. You should only invest if you are capable of understanding and evaluating the risks involved. If you are in doubt as to whether an investment is appropriate for you, you should consult an authorised person who specialises in advising on investments including crypto-backed ETPs.
