Investment risk
Baseline risk: All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some 'baseline' risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.
Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.
Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.
Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.
Stablecoins: 'Stablecoin' (e.g. USDC, USDT) is the term often used for crypto-assets that claim their value is linked to certain reserve assets such as a fiat currency (e.g. US Dollars). Stablecoins may use a range of different ways to maintain stability, each with their own risks'
Counterparty risk: Where the asset is backed by collateral (e.g. fiat currency) you are relying on a third party to maintain that collateral which introduces risk if the party becomes insolvent or fails to maintain the necessary collateral.
Redemption risk: If the asset claims to be redeemable for underlying collateral, there is risk that the redemption process will not work as expected e.g. in times of market volatility or due to operational issues.
Collateral risk: There's a risk that the value of the collateral could decline or become volatile, affecting the stability of the asset (e.g. where the collateral is another type(s) of crypto-asset(s)).
FX risk: Lots of stablecoins are denominated in US Dollars, meaning you will be exposed to movements in the USD:GBP exchange rate
Algorithm risk: If the asset relies on an algorithm to maintain stability (e.g. by adjusting supply based on demand) there's a risk the algorithm could fail or behave unexpectedly, which might cause the asset to lose its stability and even lose all its value.

FAQ
Pax Dollar (USDP) is a stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency designed to minimize price volatility. Launched in 2018 by Paxos, a regulated financial institution, Pax Dollar seeks to combine the stability of the U.S. dollar with the efficiency of blockchain technology. Each Pax Dollar token is issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain and is collateralized 1:1 with the USD held in Paxos-owned U.S. bank accounts. This means that for every Pax Dollar token in circulation, there is an equivalent U.S. dollar held in reserve, providing a stable value for the token.
Pax Dollar operateås on the Ethereum blockchain, following the ERC-20 protocol. This allows it to be transacted over the Ethereum blockchain in the same way as Ether or any other ERC-20 asset. If a user wants to redeem their USDP, they can send tokens to an address controlled by Paxos. Paxos will then destroy the tokens and transfer fiat currency to the user’s bank account. This process allows for the straightforward exchange of U.S. dollars for Pax Dollar tokens, providing users with the benefits of blockchain assets while minimizing price risk.
