Risk Disclosures
The value of crypto assets can go up or down and, if you invest in a crypto asset, you may receive back less than your original investment or lose your entire investment. MoonPay wants you to be aware of these risks before you invest in crypto assets. It’s also important to keep these risks in mind when trading crypto assets.
This page is aimed at providing you with an overview of some of the types of risks involved with investing in crypto assets, but does not identify each and every possible risk. It is always important to be aware of the fact that there are risks involved in trading crypto assets. Please consider carefully if you are prepared to and can afford to run these risks, or any other risks that you believe may arise. MoonPay encourages all customers to conduct their own research before purchasing or trading in a crypto asset. MoonPay also encourages you to trade in fully MiCA-compliant crypto-assets only.
Please read this information carefully before completing your transaction with MoonPay so that you are aware of the following types of risk.
General Market Risk
The risk of loss when trading or holding a crypto asset, such as bitcoin, ether, or any other crypto asset, can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading or holding crypto assets is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.
Crypto Asset Price Risk
Crypto assets are not legal tender and a crypto asset may experience extreme price volatility. The price or value of a crypto asset can change rapidly, decrease and potentially even fall to zero.
Non-Compliant Crypto-Assets
Not all crypto-assets comply with the requirements of MiCA and non-compliant tokens may present more risk than those crypto-assets that are fully compliant with MiCA. MoonPay encourages you to trade only fully compliant crypto-assets and reminds you that trading non-compliant crypto-assets may present you with increased risk.
