Risk Disclaimer

Purchasing and investing in Cryptoassets is a high-risk activity which incurs risks which are not inherent in managing traditional financial instruments and other assets. The value of Cryptoassets can be subject to significant price fluctuations, which can result in substantial losses over a short period.  Also, previous performance of Cryptoassets valued against other Cryptoassets or fiat currencies is not indicative of future performance. 

Cryptoassets are not backed or guaranteed by any government or financial institution and are not generally protected by existing consumer protection frameworks.  Also, the regulatory environment for Cryptoassets is evolving and changes in laws and regulations could impact the legality and value of Cryptoassets. When investing in Cryptoassets, 100% of your capital invested is at risk.  You should never invest in anything you cannot afford to lose.

You should also understand that Cryptoasset transactions are immutable, meaning that they cannot be reversed should you lose access to your Cryptoasset wallet.  In the event of loss or theft, recovery options may be limited or nonexistent. You should do your own due diligence on all third parties before you store or invest your Cryptoassets with them. You should be particularly cautious with any third parties that promise guaranteed or unrealistic returns. LondonLink is not responsible or liable for any risks or adverse outcomes resulting from the acts or omissions of third parties.

We are not qualified or authorised to give any advice. However, we very strongly suggest you obtain financial advice from your professional advisor on any investments you make in Cryptoassets.
