Risk Disclosure
Last updated
Trading US-listed securities with crypto-based settlement involves multiple, compounding risks. Read this disclosure before depositing funds or placing your first order. By using FLUX you confirm you have understood and accept the risks below.
1. Market risk
The price of any US-listed equity may rise or fall, sometimes sharply, in response to company-specific news, sector trends or macroeconomic conditions. You may lose part or all of the capital you invest.
Volatility is generally higher for individual stocks than for diversified ETFs, and higher for smaller-cap names than for mega-caps.
FLUX does not give investment, tax or legal advice. Order types, screens, watchlists and curated lists are for informational purposes only.
2. Stablecoin & crypto risk
USDT and USDC are issued by third parties (Tether, Circle) over which FLUX has no control. The peg of a stablecoin to the US dollar is not guaranteed and may break, temporarily or permanently.
On-chain transactions are irreversible. Sending funds to the wrong address, on the wrong network, or on a network FLUX does not support, may result in permanent loss.
Network gas fees are paid by you and can spike during periods of congestion.
3. Custody & operational risk
Digital assets on FLUX are custodied by a licensed custody partner using a multi-party-computation (MPC) security model. This design protects against single-point key compromise, but does not eliminate operational, smart-contract or counterparty risk.
If the custody provider becomes insolvent or its infrastructure is unavailable, deposits and withdrawals may be delayed or, in extreme scenarios, impaired.
4. Brokerage & settlement risk
Securities orders are routed to Tiger Brokers, the executing broker. If Tiger experiences technical, operational or regulatory disruption, your orders may be delayed, partially filled, or rejected.
FLUX-internal balances reflect transfers between your wallet and your trading sub-account at Tiger; the underlying securities are held in custody by Tiger or its sub-custodian.
5. Regulatory risk
Both crypto-asset regulation and cross-border securities regulation are evolving. New rules may restrict or change how FLUX operates in your jurisdiction, including the asset list available to you, deposit/withdrawal limits, or the Service itself.
You are responsible for the tax treatment of your trading activity in your country of residence.
6. Suitability
FLUX is a self-directed trading service. Only invest funds you can afford to lose, and only allocate to individual securities a portion of your assets consistent with your overall risk tolerance, investment horizon and financial situation.
If you are unsure whether trading US equities with stablecoin settlement is appropriate for you, consult an independent professional adviser before opening an account.
