Disclaimer
The virtual assets, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, may lose their value in part or in full. These assets are subject to extreme price volatility, which means their values can fluctuate significantly over short periods.
Risk disclosure statement
Metra believes in transparency and wants to ensure that our users are fully aware of the potential risks associated with virtual assets. Please take note of the following key points:
Value volatility and loss
- Volatility: Virtual assets can experience extreme price fluctuations, meaning they can rapidly increase or decrease in value.
- Potential loss: There is a risk that virtual assets may lose their value in part or in full. Investors should be aware that their investments can decrease significantly or become worthless.
Transferability and irreversibility
- Transfer limitations: Virtual assets may not always be transferable. There might be instances where transferring assets is restricted or not possible.
- Irreversible transfers: Some virtual asset transfers are irreversible. Once a transaction is made, it cannot be undone, and any incorrect transfers may result in permanent loss of assets.
Liquidity concerns
- Liquidity risk: Virtual assets may not always be liquid. This means that there might be limited opportunities to buy or sell these assets quickly without affecting their price.
Privacy and public records
- Non-private transactions: Some transactions involving virtual assets are not private and may be publicly recorded on Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), such as blockchain. Transaction details could be accessible to the public and could potentially compromise user privacy.
Fraud, manipulation, and theft
- Fraud and manipulation: Virtual assets may be subject to fraudulent schemes or manipulation, which can affect their value and integrity.
- Theft and hacks: There is a risk of virtual assets being stolen through hacks or other targeted schemes. Unlike traditional assets, virtual assets may not benefit from legal protections or insurance coverage, making recovery difficult in case of theft.
We strongly advise all clients to conduct thorough research and seek professional advice before engaging in virtual asset transactions. Understanding these material risks is crucial for making informed decisions and managing your exposure to potential financial losses.
Conflict of interest disclosure
- Nature of conflicts: Conflicts may arise due to relationships with other entities, financial interests, or providing services to multiple parties with differing interests.
- Management of conflicts: Policies and procedures identify, manage, and mitigate conflicts through assessments, training, and controls for fair decision-making.
- Disclosure of specific conflicts: Actual or potential conflicts related to our activities are disclosed in a timely manner, including the nature, involved parties, and steps to manage them.
For more details, please refer to our Conflict of Interest Policy.
