What to know before buying crypto
Crypto is volatile
The value of crypto can rise or fall suddenly so you can lose money just as easily as you can make it.

You can buy as little as £1 of crypto so it’s OK to start small and only buy what makes sense for you.
Crypto sales can be taxable
The gains or losses from your crypto sales may be subject to capital gains tax or income tax.
Crypto isn’t regulated

If something goes wrong related to crypto, you won’t be able to use the Financial Ombudsman Service, the European Consumer Center, or any UK or Luxembourg financial services compensation scheme.
