Risk framework

Asset Volatility

Risk of significant or a total loss on an entity's crypto asset holdings due to asset volatility. This risk varies between cryptocurrency assets.

Counterparty

If Block Gainer or a 3rd party becomes insolvent, is hacked or is exploited by a malicious actor, your funds may be at risk, and you may incur partial or total loss of your cryptocurrency.

Market

Risk of loss on financial investments caused by adverse price movements. In cryptocurrency markets, this may be compounded by the liberal use of leverage.

Price Stability

Block Gainer does not control the issuance or redemption of USD Coin and cannot guarantee that 1 USD Coin will remain pegged to 1 USD. Cryptocurrencies including Pax Gold, Wrapped Bitcoin and Ethereum are subject to sudden, volatile price swings.

Regulatory

Risk of regulatory intervention or breaches may lead to business issues and uncertainty. This is particularly relevant as the industry is relatively new and rules continue to evolve.

Operational

Risk of loss caused by flawed or failed processes, policies, systems or events that disrupt business operations; employee errors and criminal activities such as fraud.

Liquidity

Risk that a market's supply is completely borrowed out, and suppliers, that typically are able to supply and withdraw funds at will, are not able to withdraw all of their funds on demand.

Smart Contract

Risk that the protocol has a bug or exploit that a malicious actor could use for any possibility, including withdrawing all your cryptocurrency assets in the protocol affected.
