RISK OF LOSS IN DEALING WITH CRYPTO ASSETS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU SHOULD, THEREFORE, CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH ACTIVITIES ARE APPROPRIATE FOR YOU GIVEN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, OBJECTIVES, AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES.

Crypto Assets Are Not Legal Tender

Crypto assets are not recognized as legal tender in most jurisdictions and are not backed by any government or central authority. There is no assurance that a person who accepts crypto assets as payment today will continue to do so in the future. Holders rely on decentralized, peer-to-peer systems with no obligation from others to accept such assets in commerce.

Loss of Value, Volatility, and Uncertainty

Crypto assets are highly volatile and subject to unpredictable price swings. Their valuation often lacks underlying fundamentals, leading to sudden and irrational market movements. You may experience significant or total loss of value.

Liquidity Risk

Certain crypto assets may have limited liquidity, making it difficult or impossible to exit positions during times of market stress or volatility.

Financial Crime and Cybersecurity Risks

The digital nature of crypto assets exposes users to cyberattacks and criminal activities. Examples include 51% attacks, malware, phishing, and hijacked wallet addresses. Users must protect their credentials and verify URLs or addresses before transacting or interacting with protocols.

Technology Risks

Crypto transactions rely on complex software and blockchain protocols, which may be prone to bugs, failures, or exploitation. Risks include unintended execution, protocol defects, software vulnerabilities, or systemic failures in the underlying technology. These events may result in loss of assets or inability to access the Services.

Third-Party Risk

Certain aspects of the Services may rely on third parties such as custodians, validators, and trading venues. You may be subject to their terms and operational standards. Doppler assumes no liability for their actions, omissions, insolvency, or technical failures.

Taxation and Information Disclosure

You are solely responsible for determining and reporting your tax obligations related to your use of the Services. Doppler does not provide tax or legal advice. Where required by applicable law, we may disclose information to regulatory or tax authorities or withhold taxes as necessary.

No Investment or Legal Advice

No communication from Doppler should be considered legal, financial, investment, or trading advice. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of any activity involving crypto assets in light of your personal circumstances.

Regulatory Risk

The legal status of crypto assets varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. Regulatory developments may affect the availability or legality of the Services and could materially impact the value or use of crypto assets. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Services complies with applicable laws.
