Current report

We may incorporate cryptocurrency into our product offerings, which may subject us to laws and regulations relating to cryptocurrencies in various jurisdictions where we conduct our business. Such laws and regulations can be complex, are subject to change, and complying with them across various jurisdictions imposes operational, time, and cost constraints on our business. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business and/or result in reputational harm, loss of customers, material financial penalties and legal liabilities.

Current report

We may in the future offer cryptocurrency products which could subject us to additional regulations, licensing requirements, or other obligations. Compliance with any such regulations may be complex and costly. Cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender or backed by most governments, and have experienced technological flaws and various law enforcement and regulatory interventions. In addition, in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions, certain cryptocurrencies may be securities and subject to the securities laws of the relevant jurisdictions. The rapidly evolving regulatory landscape with respect to cryptocurrency may subject us to registrations, inquiries or investigations from regulators and governmental authorities, require us to make product changes, restrict or discontinue product offerings, and implement additional and potentially costly controls. If we fail to comply with regulations, requirements, prohibitions or other obligations applicable to us, we could face regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines, be forced to cease offering cryptocurrency products, and other consequences.

Current report

Cryptocurrencies have in the past and may in the future experience periods of extreme price volatility. These uncertainties, as well as future accounting and tax developments, or other requirements relating to cryptocurrency could expose us to litigation, regulatory action or possible liability, and have an adverse effect on our business.

Current report

In addition, we may rely on third parties for certain aspects of cryptocurrency offerings and reliance on third parties involves risks. For example, inappropriate access to, theft, destruction or other loss of cryptocurrency assets held by any custodian we may use, insufficient insurance coverage by any such custodian to reimburse us for all such losses, such custodian’s failure to maintain effective controls over the custody and settlement services provided to us, such custodian’s inability to purchase or liquidate cryptocurrency holdings, and defaults on financial or performance obligations by counterparty financial institutions, could materially and adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our business.
