Exchange Selector Risk Disclosure Statement
May 7, 2026 version
Introduction
Exchange Selector is an informative website dedicated to comparing cryptocurrency exchange platforms, publishing reviews, guides, and educational content about digital assets.
Exchange Selector is not an exchange, broker, financial institution, investment advisor, crypto-asset service provider, custodian, or trading platform. Exchange Selector does not allow the direct purchase, sale, custody, transfer, or trading of crypto-assets through its website.
The information published on Exchange Selector is for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing contained on this website should be construed as financial, investment, tax, legal, accounting, or regulatory advice.
The use of exchanges, wallets, staking services, loans, yield products, derivatives, leverage, or other cryptocurrency-related services may involve significant risks. This statement presents a non-exhaustive list of some of the main risks associated with the cryptocurrency sector.
Before using any platform or investing in digital assets, users must carefully assess whether these products or services are suitable for their knowledge, experience, objectives, financial situation, risk tolerance, and personal circumstances.
Market risk
Cryptoassets are highly volatile assets. Their price can rise or fall significantly in very short periods of time. The user may lose a substantial portion or even all of the invested capital.
Past performance of a crypto asset, exchange, or financial product does not guarantee future results.
Liquidity risk
Some crypto assets may have low liquidity. This can make it difficult to buy or sell at the expected price, lead to wide bid-ask spreads, delays in execution, or partial fills.
Stablecoin risk
Stablecoins are designed to maintain parity with a fiat currency or another asset, but that parity can be lost. A stablecoin can lose value due to reserve issues, liquidity problems, issuer insolvency, technical failures, regulatory measures, or a loss of market confidence.
Slippage risk
In situations of high volatility or low liquidity, an order may be executed at a price different from the one initially displayed. This difference is known as slippage and can lead to losses or costs higher than expected.
Systemic risk
The crypto ecosystem is interconnected. The insolvency, hacking, closure, regulatory investigation, or operational failure of an exchange, stablecoin issuer, custodian, liquidity provider, DeFi protocol, or relevant company can negatively affect the market as a whole.
Regulatory risk
Laws and regulations regarding crypto-assets are constantly changing. New rules, restrictions, prohibitions, tax obligations, or oversight measures can affect the operation of exchanges, tokens, stablecoins, wallets, DeFi services, or yield products.
Exchange Selector does not guarantee that the information about regulation published on the site is always up-to-date or applicable to all users.
Fiscal risks
Buying, selling, trading, receiving, or holding cryptoassets can have tax consequences. Taxation depends on your country of residence, personal situation, and the type of transaction carried out.
The user is responsible for knowing and complying with their tax obligations. It is recommended to consult with a qualified tax advisor.
Technological risk
Crypto-assets depend on technologies such as blockchain, cryptography, smart contracts, wallets, APIs, and decentralized networks. These technologies can present errors, vulnerabilities, attacks, congestion, software failures, downtime, or irreversible losses.
Transactions on the blockchain are typically irreversible. If a user sends funds to the wrong address or uses the wrong network, they can permanently lose their assets.
Cybersecurity risk
Users can be exposed to theft, hacking, malware, phishing, social engineering, identity theft, password leaks, or unauthorized access.
Users must protect their credentials, enable two-factor authentication when available, always verify official URLs, and not share private keys, seed phrases, passwords, or security codes.
Custody risk
When a user deposits crypto assets into an exchange or external custodian, they can lose direct control over their private keys. If the platform suffers insolvency, a hack, withdrawal freezes, operational error, or regulatory intervention, the user could lose temporary or permanent access to their funds.
Third-party platform risk
Exchange Selector may include links, reviews, comparisons, or information about exchanges, wallets, DeFi platforms, staking services, lending, or other third parties.
Exchange Selector does not control said services and is not responsible for their decisions, terms, fees, availability, security, solvency, regulatory compliance, or operation.
Users should always review the terms, policies, fees, and risks of each platform before registering or depositing funds.
Risks of staking, lending, and yield products
Staking, lending, earn, yield farming, or other yield products may involve additional risks, including loss of liquidity, penalties, slashing, protocol failures, counterparty insolvency, changes in rewards, fund lockups, or partial or total losses.
Rewards offered by third parties are not guaranteed.
Leverage, margin, and derivatives risk
Trading with margin, futures, options, leveraged products, or derivatives can multiply both profits and losses. Small market movements can cause rapid liquidations and the total loss of capital used as collateral.
These products are not suitable for all users.
Risk of incomplete or outdated information
Exchange Selector strives to publish clear, useful, and up-to-date information. However, the crypto sector changes rapidly. Fees, service availability, terms and conditions, regulations, platform features, promotions, and risks can change without prior notice.
Exchange Selector does not guarantee that all information published is complete, accurate, up-to-date, or suitable for a particular situation.
Affiliate link risk
Exchange Selector may receive financial compensation when a user signs up or purchases services through certain links. This compensation may influence how some platforms appear, are ordered, or are presented on the site.
However, the existence of an affiliate relationship should not be interpreted as a personalized recommendation or as a guarantee of safety, profitability, or suitability.
Lack of advice
Nothing published on Exchange Selector constitutes a personalized investment recommendation. The user is solely responsible for their financial decisions, including the decision to register on a platform, buy, sell, hold, or transfer crypto assets.
Before making financial decisions, users should conduct their own research and, when necessary, consult with qualified professional advisors.
Absence of warranty
Exchange Selector does not guarantee profits, returns, absolute security, continuous availability of third parties, or recovery of losses. The user uses the information on the site and third-party services at their own risk.
Risk acceptance
By using Exchange Selector, the user acknowledges that they understand that crypto assets are high-risk products and that they may lose some or all of the invested capital.
