2. Investments in early-stage projects involve a high level of risk, so it is necessary to properly understand their business model.

4. The prices of crypto assets are constituted in the absence of mechanisms that ensure their correct formation, such as those present in regulated securities markets.

5. Many crypto assets may lack the liquidity to undo an investment without significant loss, as their circulation among investors, both retail and professional, may be very limited.

Technology risks
