Unlike traditional currencies or financial instruments, digital assets are not backed by physical assets, tangible goods, or any form of credit. The value of digital assets is primarily determined by market consensus among participants, and their trading is driven by supply and demand dynamics within the market. There is no obligation for any entity to guarantee the liquidity or market price of digital assets traded through our platform. As a result, the market for these assets can be highly volatile and unpredictable.

Users should be aware that such changes can occur without warning, and BITmarkets and its Affiliates will not be held liable for any consequences resulting from these actions.

• Trading risk

Users need to stay informed and updated on market developments to manage their potential risk exposure. 

BITmarkets and its affiliates are not equipped to predict or detect occurrences of various security threats, including but not limited to hacks, cyber-attacks, and mining attacks.
