Exchange-traded commodities and cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets and performance is unpredictable. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You are at risk of losing parts or your entire capital invested. Risks can be linked to the market, currency, liquidity, operational factors, legislation and regulation. ETCs do not offer a fixed return. Returns depend on the price performance of the relevant cryptocurrency, available liquidity and do not match precisely the performance of the underlying cryptocurrency.
