This Risk Information provides an overview of the risks associated with investing in crypto
assets. Before applying to open an account and start trading with us, you should carefully
read this document.
This Risk Disclosure is part of the Terms of Service, and by entering into a contract with us
and using the services, you acknowledge the Risk Information.
GENERAL
Clients bear the risks and are responsible for any losses incurred. Due to the inherent
risks of investing in crypto assets, clients acknowledge the possibility of losing a
significant amount of their invested funds. Clients declare that their trading activities are
not financed by retirement savings, loans, mortgages, emergency funds, or other means
intended for purposes such as education, healthcare, or housing. It is advised to carefully
assess whether your financial situation and risk tolerance are suitable for any exposure
to crypto assets. Cresco Partners s.r.o. has implemented procedures to prevent
significant losses by assessing clients' financial capabilities but is limited by the
information provided by the client. Cresco Partners s.r.o. will not execute a trade if it is
aware that a potential loss could significantly jeopardize the client's standard of living.
SUMMARY
The value of crypto assets can fluctuate greatly, with the potential risk of losing the entire
investment.
Crypto assets can become illiquid due to decreased demand, making it difficult for clients
to sell them easily.
Past performance of crypto asset value increases is not a reliable indicator for predicting
or guaranteeing future performance.
VOLATILITY
Price fluctuations can lead to significant swings in the value of your assets at any given
time. The risk of loss in trading or holding stakes in crypto assets can be substantial and
may result in the total loss of the value of your investment in crypto assets.
The value of crypto assets is susceptible to irrational and uncontrollable events that could
lead to a collapse in prices. For instance, market manipulation, software glitches or hard
forks, unexpected changes in software, technical problems, obsolescence of software,
loss of anonymity, and government interventions.
1DECENTRALIZATION
The value of crypto assets is determined solely by supply and demand and is not
controlled by any government or legal entity. Crypto assets are a unique exchange
medium without a central bank to regulate or protect their value in times of crisis.
Decentralization means that crypto assets is a partially anonymous system that relies on
peer-to-peer networks and cryptography to maintain its integrity. The functioning of
cryptocurrency networks is beyond our control.
Since the blockchain is an independent public peer-to-peer network not subject to
regulation or control by any authority, we are not responsible for any failures, errors
or breaches that occur within the blockchain or other networks utilizing crypto assets.
LEGAL
The legal status of cryptocurrencies remains uncertain, even after the adoption of the
Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets) and continues to
evolve. Cresco Partners s.r.o. implements anti-money laundering measures.
Cryptocurrencies are a new asset class, and their legal status is yet to be defined by law.
There's a possibility that regulatory bodies might introduce measures affecting the
cryptocurrency market operations within certain jurisdictions.
Cresco Partners might have to discontinue services related to crypto assets or prohibit
the use of services in certain jurisdictions if any national or international regulatory bodies
make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to offer these services related to any crypto
assets. You declare and warrant not to use our services if any law applicable in your
country prohibits it, in accordance with the Client Agreement.
INHERENT RISK
The nature of crypto assets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber attacks,
potentially hindering access to or use of your crypto assets due to technological
challenges.
Transactions with crypto assets are usually irreversible, making losses from fraudulent or
accidental transactions potentially irrecoverable.
Cryptocurrency exchanges are fully digital and, like any virtual system, are subject to the
risk of hackers, malware, and operational disruptions. While various steps are taken to
maintain platform security, the cryptocurrency stored in exchange-provided wallets
remains vulnerable to hacking.
2You affirm that you possess the necessary expertise and knowledge about the crypto
assets you acquire or trade with, and that you have the experience, knowledge, or
professional advice to assess the risks of your financial decisions and the specific risks
associated with investing in crypto assets.
