Disclosure: Cryptocurrency based Exchange Traded Products (ETPs)

Cryptocurrency based Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) are high risk and speculative. Cryptocurrency ETPs are not suitable for all investors. You may lose your entire investment. For more information please view the RISK DISCLOSURE REGARDING COMPLEX OR LEVERAGED EXCHANGE TRADED PRODUCTS.

Disclosure: Complex or Leveraged Exchange-Traded Products

Day Trading can be extremely risky and may not be appropriate for individuals with limited resources, investment experience or low risk tolerance. Please review the Day Trading Risk Disclosure Statement before deciding whether Day Trading is appropriate for you.

Disclosure: ETNs

Exchange-traded notes (ETNs) are unsecured debt subject to the issuer's credit risk; ETNs do not provide an ownership interest in any underlying assets. Many ETNs are intended for short-term trading and may not be appropriate for intermediate- or long-term investment time horizons. ETNs may be thinly traded, can become illiquid, and may trade at a market price significantly different (a premium or discount) from their indicative value. ETNs may exhibit extreme market price movements, which can occur quickly and unexpectedly. Some ETNs are callable or redeemable by the issuer before their stated maturity date. In the event of early redemption, you are likely to lose all or a part of your initial investment. The tax treatment of ETNs is uncertain and may vary from what is described in the prospectus.
