Blockchain Stocks Risk Disclosure

Blockchain Stocks are tokenized representations of traditional stocks that are issued and traded on the blockchain, combining the benefits of traditional equity ownership with blockchain technology.

Q: Can I trade Blockchain Stocks 24/7?

Yes, unlike traditional stock exchanges that operate during limited hours, Blockchain Stocks can be traded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, giving you the flexibility to trade whenever it suits you.

The below list of disclosures is not exhaustive.

Holders of Blockchain Stocks do not have ownership in any of the underlying stock or shares of the companies to which they are economically linked ("underlying stock"); instead, by purchasing Blockchain Stocks investors can benefit from exposure to the performance of the underlying stock. Holders of Blockchain Stocks have no voting rights, or distribution entitlements, or legal claims to the underlying stocks or any residual assets in the event of the underlying company’s liquidation. An investment in the Blockchain Stocks does not entitle holders to receive any information from the respective issuer or sponsor of the underlying stocks or shares.

Blockchain Stocks are traded via tokens on the Blockchain Stock Exchange trading platform. Blockchain Stock tokens use the underlying stock asset which is rented to investors by the stock owners “Stakers”. The Stakers, in exchange for the staking service, receive a reward that is determined by the supply and demand of the Blockchain Stock. Stakers also bear regulatory obligations on their holdings, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in their geographic location.

All investments in Blockchain Stocks are subject to fees and taxes for applicable regulatory requirements and reward costs paid to Stakers. Consequently, the return on Blockchain Stocks will not be identical to the potential return generated by directly holding the underlying stock or shares of the same company during the same period. Fees, taxes, and rewards are netted against the Blockchain Stock Price to provide a net asset value.

Investment in Blockchain Stocks involves a high degree of risk and may result in the total loss of invested capital. Blockchain Stocks are a highly speculative investment and are highly reliant on technology. Blockchain Stocks are complex products which are difficult to understand and may not be suitable for inexperienced investors.

BY INVESTING IN Blockchain Stocks, YOU CAN LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should seek advice from an independent and suitably licensed financial advisor and ensure that you have the risk appetite, relevant experience and knowledge before you decide to trade.

When investing in Blockchain Stocks, it is your responsibility:

To familiarize yourself with the specific features of Blockchain Stock Exchange’s Blockchain Stocks product before you start trading.
Not to invest more than you can afford to lose.

By investing in Blockchain Stocks, you acknowledge that you have understood the associated risks and that you accept, in addition to all of the risks outlined in the Base Prospectus and Final Terms for the issuance linked at the top of this page, also the following:

Investing in Blockchain Stocks exposes you to market risks associated with the underlying companies (i.e., the company whose shares your Blockchain Stocks represent), such as market volatility, financial performance, corporate actions, regulatory developments, and economic conditions.

Investing in Blockchain Stocks exposes you to the financial and operational risks of Blockchain Stock Exchange itself as the broker and initial custodian of your investment, which include risks related to the creditworthiness, operational and technology related risks, and solvency of Blockchain Stock Exchange, and which exist irrespective of the performance of the underlying companies.

Investing in Blockchain Stocks exposes you to liquidity risk, which is the risk that you suffer a loss because you cannot liquidate your investment at the moment you wish to because there is insufficient purchase demand.

Investing in Blockchain Stocks exposes you to platform parameters risk, which is the risk that you suffer a loss because Blockchain Stock Exchange had to change parameters on the platform which affects Blockchain Stocks.

Investing in Blockchain Stocks exposes you to operational risk, which is the risk that you suffer a loss because of a malfunction of the platform, for example resulting from scheduled or unscheduled downtimes, matching system failure, database failure, cryptocurrency transfer or storage failure, failure or malfunction of the API, hacker attacks or other failure or malfunction.

Investing in Blockchain Stocks exposes you to regulatory risk, which is the risk that you suffer a loss because Blockchain Stock Exchange has to restrict or terminate elements of our service in response to regulatory action against us or the Issuer.

Staked Stock and its corresponding Blockchain stock is also exposed to the credit risks of the various counterparties with which it transacts and the failure of such counterparties to fulfill their respective obligations. This includes the credit risks of depositary institutions that hold cash, crypto and securities. This credit risk includes the possibility that the depositary institution holding a financial instrument (cash, crypto or securities) will fail to fulfil an obligation or commitment. Any insolvency of such depositary institution may result in delayed or impossible access to the underlying stocks, including those serving as collateral for any Blockchain Stocks. In such an event, you may face a partial or total loss of your invested capital.

An investment in Blockchain Stocks does not entitle holders to receive any information from the respective issuer or sponsor of the underlying stocks or shares.

The respective issuer or sponsor of the underlying stocks is not involved in the offer and sale of the Blockchain Stocks and is under no obligation to you. Blockchain Stocks are therefore not sponsored, supported or promoted in any way by the respective issuer or sponsor of the underlying stocks, and the respective issuer or sponsor of the underlying stocks may take actions with respect to the underlying stocks without taking into account the interests of any holder of Blockchain Stocks. Holders of Blockchain Stocks will be unlikely to have any opportunity to influence decisions affecting the underlying stocks.

All investments in Blockchain Stocks are subject to fees and taxes by the Staker. Consequently, the return on Blockchain Stocks will not reflect the potential return of actual ownership of the underlying stock or shares of companies if held during the same period.
