Crypto security and risks
What are the regulatory risks associated with cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are pretty new and still catching up with regulations, meaning they aren't regulated and don't have protections like other investments might.
Scams are a concern too, given the unregulated nature and anonymity of transactions. We advise using our in-app Crypto Learn courses to understand these risks better.
How are cryptocurrencies regulated?
Cryptocurrency services in Australia are provided by the Revolut Payments Australia Pty Ltd (RPA). The cryptocurrency offering isn’t a regulated financial product in Australia and is not being provided to you under our Australian Financial Services Licence.
Significant risks apply. Cryptocurrency values are highly volatile and can go down. Consider your financial circumstances and risk appetite.
Why does price volatility make investing in crypto risky?
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and can significantly fluctuate in price, posing substantial risks of loss. If you're unsure about investing in crypto, it's wise to consult with an authorised and independent financial adviser. We don’t endorse or advise on cryptocurrency transactions.
