Virtual Currency Disclosure

Please note the following disclosures associated with virtual currency: Virtual currency is not legal tender in the United States, is not backed by the United States government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the value of virtual currency. Transactions in virtual currency may be irreversible, and accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Some virtual currency transactions may be immediately effective when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transaction. The value of virtual currency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange legal tender for virtual currency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular virtual currency if the market for the virtual currency declines or collapses for an extended period of time. Any surety bond required by law for the benefit of customers may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by customers. Customers should perform research before purchasing or investing in virtual currency.
