Cryptoassets are high-risk investments and may not be suitable for all investors. Their prices can be highly volatile, and you could lose some or all of the money you invest.
Cryptoassets are not regulated in the same way as traditional investments and are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is limited.
During periods of extreme market volatility, liquidity may be reduced, which can affect your ability to buy or sell crypto at your desired price.
You should take time to understand how crypto works and the risks involved before investing. For more information, visit IG’s Crypto Risks page.
