PURPOSE

This summary is designed to provide you with a clear and balanced overview of the inherent risks associated with cryptoasset transactions. Its purpose is to ensure that you understand the potential for financial loss, the nature of the market, and the complexities of these assets before transacting. This document does not constitute financial or investment advice.

SCOPE

This summary applies to all corporate customers who use ZYKZ's services to engage with digital assets, including onramp and offramp transactions involving Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC). It is not exhaustive and should be read alongside ZYKZ's Terms of Service.

KEY RISKS

You Could Lose All the Money You Invest

The value of most cryptoassets is highly volatile, meaning their prices can drop as quickly as they rise. Customers should be prepared for the possibility of significant loss in the value of their digital assets between the time of instruction and the time of settlement.

The Cryptoasset Market Is Largely Unregulated

While ZYKZ adheres to regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions it operates, the broader cryptoasset market remains largely unregulated. Risks include, but are not limited to, cyber-attacks, financial crime, and the failure of third-party service providers.

Transactions Are Irreversible

Blockchain transactions, once executed, cannot be reversed. Customers are solely responsible for the accuracy of all wallet addresses provided. ZYKZ cannot recover funds sent to an incorrect address.

LIMITED PROTECTION FOR CRYPTOASSET ACTIVITIES

No Protection from Financial Compensation Schemes

Digital asset transactions are not covered by compensation schemes such as the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) in the United Kingdom. Customers should not assume any form of deposit protection applies to digital assets.

Limited Dispute Resolution

While complaints against regulated firms may be handled by relevant dispute resolution bodies, losses related to digital asset market movements are not covered by such mechanisms.

LIQUIDITY RISKS

There is no guarantee that Customers will be able to execute transactions at a desired price or time. Liquidity depends on market conditions, including supply and demand at the time of execution. Technology outages, cyber-attacks, or operational issues may also delay the processing or settlement of transactions.

COMPLEXITY OF CRYPTOASSETS

Digital asset transactions can be complex. ZYKZ encourages all Customers to conduct thorough research before transacting and to ensure they fully understand the assets and networks involved. Not all cryptoassets carry the same risks, and Customers should review the specific characteristics of each asset before use.

NO CUSTODY OF DIGITAL ASSETS

ZYKZ does not hold or custody digital assets on behalf of Customers. All digital assets are settled directly to the Customer's pre-configured wallet address. Customers are responsible for the security and management of their own wallets.
