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.
Liquidity Risk
There is no guarantee that investments in crypto assets can be easily sold at any given time.
Complexity
Investments in crypto assets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment. You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Concentration Risk
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 anyone to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.
Five questions to ask yourself
- Am I comfortable with the level of risk? Can I afford to lose my money?
- Do I understand the investment and could I get my money out easily?
- Are my investments regulated?
- Am I protected if the investment provider or my adviser goes out of business?
- Should I get financial advice?
DeFi tokens
Decentralised Finance ("DeFi") tokens are crypto assets built on decentralised blockchain technology for financial applications or protocols. Risks linked to DeFi tokens include:
Enterprise Risk
Interactions between multiple DeFi protocols create a situation where a vulnerability or breakdown in one protocol can trigger a cascading effect, affecting other interconnected platforms.
Technology Risk
DeFi protocols frequently depend on external data sources or oracles, and any tampering or inaccuracies in these data streams can result in a lack of trust and reliability in the protocols.
Regulatory Risk
Governments and regulatory bodies around the world can introduce new regulations or ban certain aspects of the cryptocurrency market, affecting its legality and viability, which could affect token liquidity and/or value.
Legal Risk
Certain tokens may be used for operating a decentralised exchange platform which may contain additional risks:
- The platform may allow users to participate who have not been vetted or verified and therefore expose the possibility that users are interacting with sanctioned entities.
- The platform may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the exchange activity should be regulated. If a local regulator deemed the platform activity to be in breach of local regulation, they may request cessation or termination of the service which could affect token liquidity and/or value.
Market Risk
Given their novelty, the evolving technology involved and lack traditional asset structure, valuing crypto assets can be very difficult or impossible. This means valuations are determined by demand that is at risk of manipulation in various ways.

With the native currency, VELO, at its core, the platform aims to revolutionize the international remittance landscape by providing a secure and efficient solution for global transactions.
What is Velo
Using smart contracts, Velo streamlines credit issuance and facilitates cross-border transactions, bridging the gap between legacy finance, centralized finance (CeFi), and decentralized finance (DeFi). The platform incorporates a network of nodes to optimize payment processing, reducing costs and enhancing transaction speeds.
The network's native token, VELO, plays a pivotal role in maintaining and operating the Velo network. It is a medium of exchange within the ecosystem and acts as a collateral asset.

How does Velo work
The Velo Protocol functions as a financial system that issues digital credits tied to fiat currencies, with VELO tokens as collateral. This ensures a constant 1:1 value ratio between the digital credits and fiat. The protocol consists of two main parts:
- Digital Credit Issuance Mechanism: This mechanism generates digital credits linked to any fiat currency by staking VELO tokens in collateral pools.
- Digital Reserve System: The system automatically rebalances VELO token collateral pools to maintain a 1:1 value ratio between issued digital credits and their corresponding fiat currency.
The utility token of the Velo Ecosystem: VELO
VELO serves multiple purposes within the network. It acts as a medium of exchange, allowing users to transact and transfer value across the Velo network. Furthermore, VELO holders have governance rights, allowing them to participate in the decision-making process of the protocol.
VELO tokenomics
VELO serves a dual role within the Velo ecosystem. Firstly, it serves as collateral, safeguarding the digital credit issuances made by the Trusted Partner Networks (TPNs). Secondly, VELO is a bridge currency, facilitating seamless and efficient cross-border transactions.
With a total supply of 23,999,997,461 VELO tokens and a circulating supply of 7,390,475.595 tokens, the distribution of these tokens has been carefully planned to involve various stakeholders and purposes, including founders, investors, community initiatives, and ecosystem development, ensuring a diverse and inclusive allocation across the Velo network.
VELO use cases
