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.
Defi tokens: Decentralised Finance (or 'DeFi') tokens (e.g. UNI, AAVE) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.
Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.
Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets. For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.
Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.
Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or 'oracles'. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.
Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.
Wrapped tokens: Wrapped crypto-assets (e.g. cbETH, WBTC) (often referred to as 'wrapped tokens') are tokenised representations of other crypto-assets. They are typically created to facilitate compatibility and interaction across different blockchain protocols.
Smart contract risk: Wrapped tokens rely on smart contracts to ensure their value remains pegged to the underlying asset. These contracts could have vulnerabilities or flaws that can be exploited, potentially leading to a loss of funds.
Collateral risk: The value of a wrapped token is typically backed by an equivalent amount of the underlying asset. If the mechanisms ensuring this collateralization fail, the wrapped token's value might not be preserved.
Custodial risk: The underlying assets for wrapped tokens may be held in custody by a third party. If this party becomes insolvent, mismanages the assets, or is subjected to fraud or hacking, the value of the wrapped token might be jeopardized.
Bridging risk: Wrapped tokens are often used to bridge assets between different blockchain ecosystems. The integration layers that facilitate these bridges might suffer from technical issues, hampering the ability to transfer or utilize the tokens as intended.
Pricing disparity: In certain situations, the price of the wrapped asset and its underlying asset might diverge due to market inefficiencies or liquidity issues.

FAQ
XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open-source, decentralized technology that was launched in 2021. XRP, the digital currency, was introduced as an alternative to other digital currencies with a focus on speed and energy efficiency. The XRP Ledger also features the first decentralized exchange (DEX) and custom tokenization capabilities built into the protocol, making it a versatile tool in the digital currency space.
XRP operates on the XRP Ledger, which uses a unique Federated Consensus mechanism to validate transactions. Transactions are confirmed through a consensus protocol, where independent servers, known as validators, agree on the order and outcome of XRP transactions. All servers in the network process each transaction according to the same rules, and any transaction that follows the protocol is confirmed immediately. The XRP Ledger is transparent and public, and anyone can operate a validator. This Federated Consensus mechanism aims to process all verified transactions without a single point of failure, as no single participant makes a decision independently.
XRP presents a wide variety of applications and use cases related to payments, including micropayments, DeFi, and soon, NFTs. The XRP Ledger supports enterprises and developers with powerful utility and flexibility. Developers can create solutions that solve inefficiencies, including remittance and asset tokenization, using the XRP Ledger. Currently, the five main applications of the XRP Ledger are payments, tokenization, DeFi, CBDCs, and stablecoins. The XRP Ledger provides a platform for developers to build applications with the potential to enhance the efficiency and speed of digital transactions.
XRP and the XRP Ledger were launched in 2012 by David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto as an alternative to the Bitcoin blockchain with a focus on speed and energy efficiency. In September of the same year, they, along with Chris Larsen, founded the company that is today known as Ripple. The XRP Ledger architects gifted a large amount of XRP to Ripple so that the company could build use cases around the digital asset. Since late 2020, Ripple Labs, the creators of the XRP token, has been in a legal battle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission over whether or not XRP is a security.
