* Cryptocurrency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange,
a unit of account, or a store of value, but it does not have legal tender status.
Cryptocurrencies are sometimes exchanged for U.S. dollars or other currencies around the world,
but they are not currently backed nor supported by any government or central bank. Their value
is completely derived by market forces of supply and demand, and they are more volatile than
traditional currencies. Trading in cryptocurrencies comes with significant risks, including
volatile market price swings or flash crashes, market manipulation, and cybersecurity risks.
In addition, cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are not regulated with the same controls or
customer protections available in equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing.
