According to the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization, trading on crypto exchanges carries risks, including:
Extreme Market Volatility: Cryptocurrency prices can swing dramatically, causing rapid losses.
Security and Hacking: Exchanges are prime targets for hackers, and you may lose your assets if the exchange is compromised.
"Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins": Holding assets on an exchange means you do not own the private keys. The exchange holds your funds in an "IOU" structure, leaving you exposed to company bankruptcy (e.g., FTX collapse).
Frozen Accounts and Service Disruptions: Exchanges may freeze accounts, limit withdrawals, or experience downtime during high volatility.
Regulatory and Legal Risks: Crypto lacks traditional investor protections (like FDIC insurance), and changing regulations could limit access or impact asset value.
User Error: Sending funds to the wrong network, losing passwords, or failing to use memo tags can result in irreversible loss.
Scams and Fraud: Exchanges can be targets of fraud, or list fraudulent projects.
