The pricing engines of digital currency exchanges may experience delays, interruptions which can be caused by numerous potential issues. Any person wishing to trade or invest in digital currency CFDs should have detailed and updated knowledge of related blockchain technologies. Trading and investing in digital currency CFDs involves a HIGH RISK of a loss of funds due to market volatility, execution issues and industry-specific disruptive events, such as hard forks, regulatory bans, the activities of hackers, mining cartels and other malicious actors within digital currency ecosystems.
