Volatility

Digital asset values can change rapidly between quote, payment, and settlement. Merchants should define how FX and timing risk is handled in their pricing and refund policies.

Irreversible transactions

Blockchain transfers generally cannot be reversed once confirmed. Incorrect addresses or networks may result in permanent loss.

Network conditions

Congestion, forks, or maintenance may delay confirmations beyond quoted windows. Confirmation thresholds exist to reduce double-spend risk.

Regulatory uncertainty

Laws governing digital assets vary by country and may change. Merchants remain responsible for licensing, tax reporting, and consumer disclosures.

No investment advice
