Risk Disclaimer

Last Updated: 1 January 2026
Effective Date: 1 January 2026

IMPORTANT WARNING: Trading cryptocurrencies and using automated trading systems involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Before using the Bit GPT Platform, you should carefully consider whether such trading is appropriate for your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance.

This Risk Disclaimer provides important information about the risks associated with using the Bit GPT platform ("Platform") and trading cryptocurrencies. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the risks outlined below.

1. General Investment Risk

All investments carry risk, and cryptocurrency trading is particularly speculative and volatile. The value of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate significantly over very short periods of time, and there is a real risk that you could lose your entire investment. You should never invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Past performance of any cryptocurrency, trading strategy, or algorithm is not indicative of future results.

2. Cryptocurrency Market Risks

2.1 Extreme Volatility

Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and subject to rapid and substantial price movements. Prices can be influenced by various factors including market sentiment, regulatory developments, technological changes, macroeconomic conditions, and trading activity on exchanges. Price swings of 10% or more in a single day are not uncommon, and even larger movements can occur.

2.2 Liquidity Risk

Certain cryptocurrencies, particularly smaller or newer tokens, may have limited liquidity. This can result in wider bid-ask spreads, difficulty executing trades at desired prices, and increased price slippage. During periods of high volatility or market stress, liquidity can deteriorate rapidly, making it difficult or impossible to exit positions.

2.3 Market Manipulation

Cryptocurrency markets are less regulated than traditional financial markets and may be more susceptible to manipulation, including pump-and-dump schemes, wash trading, spoofing, and other fraudulent activities. Such manipulation can result in artificial price movements and significant losses.

3. Technology and Security Risks

3.1 Cybersecurity Threats

Cryptocurrency platforms, exchanges, and wallets are targets for hackers and cybercriminals. Security breaches, hacking incidents, and theft of digital assets have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. While we implement security measures to protect user accounts and funds, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that your assets will be protected from all security threats.

3.2 Technical Failures

The Platform relies on complex technology infrastructure, including internet connectivity, servers, software, and third-party services. Technical failures, system outages, network disruptions, bugs, or errors could prevent you from accessing your account, executing trades, or withdrawing funds, potentially resulting in financial losses.

3.3 Blockchain and Protocol Risks

Cryptocurrencies operate on blockchain networks that are subject to technical risks including network congestion, forks, protocol changes, and consensus failures. These events can affect transaction processing times, fees, and the value of your holdings.

4. Automated Trading Risks

4.1 Algorithm Performance

The Platform uses automated trading algorithms and AI-powered systems. These algorithms are based on historical data, mathematical models, and programmed parameters. They may not perform as expected in all market conditions, particularly during unprecedented events or extreme volatility. Algorithms that performed well historically may fail to generate profits or may generate losses in the future.

4.2 System Errors and Malfunctions

Automated trading systems can malfunction due to software bugs, data errors, connectivity issues, or other technical problems. Such malfunctions could result in unintended trades, failure to execute trades, or other errors that may cause financial losses.

4.3 Lack of Human Oversight

Automated trading reduces human oversight and intervention. While this can provide speed and efficiency benefits, it also means that the system may continue executing trades during adverse conditions without the judgment that a human trader might apply.

5. Regulatory and Legal Risks

5.1 Regulatory Uncertainty

The regulatory status of cryptocurrencies varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. New regulations, enforcement actions, or legal interpretations could adversely affect the value of cryptocurrencies, restrict trading activities, or make it illegal to hold or trade certain digital assets in your jurisdiction.

5.2 Tax Implications

Cryptocurrency transactions may have tax consequences. You are solely responsible for determining what taxes, if any, apply to your cryptocurrency transactions and for reporting and remitting the correct amounts to the appropriate tax authorities. Tax laws are complex and subject to change.

5.3 Lack of Regulatory Protection

Unlike traditional financial institutions, cryptocurrency platforms may not be covered by deposit insurance schemes or investor protection funds. If the Platform or a connected exchange fails, you may lose access to your funds with limited recourse.

6. Counterparty and Third-Party Risks

The Platform integrates with third-party services including cryptocurrency exchanges, payment processors, and liquidity providers. We are not responsible for the performance, security, or reliability of these third parties. The failure, insolvency, or misconduct of any third party could result in loss of access to your funds or trading capabilities.

7. Operational Risks

7.1 Key Management

Cryptocurrencies are controlled by private keys. If you lose access to your private keys or they are compromised, you may permanently lose access to your digital assets. We are not able to recover lost keys or reverse unauthorized transactions.

7.2 Irreversible Transactions

Cryptocurrency transactions are generally irreversible once confirmed on the blockchain. If you send funds to the wrong address or fall victim to fraud, it may be impossible to recover those funds.

8. Leverage and Margin Trading Risks

If you engage in leveraged or margin trading through the Platform, you are exposed to additional risks. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses, and you could lose more than your initial investment. Margin calls may require you to deposit additional funds on short notice, and failure to meet margin requirements could result in forced liquidation of your positions at unfavorable prices.

9. Conflicts of Interest

The Platform may have relationships with exchanges, liquidity providers, or other service providers that could create potential conflicts of interest. We may receive fees, rebates, or other compensation from these parties, which could influence routing decisions or other aspects of trade execution.

10. No Financial Advice

The Platform, its features, and any information provided do not constitute financial, investment, trading, or other advice. We do not recommend or endorse any particular cryptocurrency, trading strategy, or investment decision. You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks of any trading activity and for making your own independent decisions.

If you are uncertain about the suitability of cryptocurrency trading for your circumstances, you should consult an independent financial adviser, accountant, or legal professional before proceeding.

11. Geographic Restrictions

The Platform may not be available in all jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of the Platform complies with applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence. Some features may be restricted or unavailable based on your location.

12. Forward-Looking Statements

The Platform may contain forward-looking statements, projections, or estimates regarding performance, market conditions, or future developments. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements.

13. Monitoring and Due Diligence

While the Platform provides automated trading capabilities, you remain responsible for monitoring your account, reviewing trades, and ensuring that trading activity aligns with your objectives and risk tolerance. You should regularly review your positions, assess performance, and adjust settings or strategies as appropriate.

14. Updates to Risk Disclosure

This Risk Disclaimer may be updated from time to time to reflect new risks, changes in our services, or regulatory developments. We encourage you to review this document periodically. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform.

15. Acknowledgment

By using the Bit GPT Platform, you acknowledge that:

FINAL WARNING: Cryptocurrency trading carries extreme risk and is highly speculative. You should only trade with capital that you can afford to lose completely. Never invest borrowed money or funds needed for essential expenses. If you do not fully understand the risks described in this document, you should not use the Platform.
