Investment Risk

Baseline risk

All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some ‘baseline’ risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.

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.

Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

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 any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.

Meme coins

‘Meme coins’ (e.g. , SHIB) are crypto-assets whose value is driven primarily by community interest and online trends.

Volatility risk: Meme coins can have extreme price volatility, often experiencing rapid and unpredictable price fluctuations within short periods. The value of meme coins can be influenced by social media trends, celebrity endorsements, and other factors unrelated to traditional investment fundamentals.

Lack of utility: Meme coins often lack intrinsic value or utility, being primarily driven by community interest, online trends, and speculative trading.

Market manipulation: Meme coins may be susceptible to increased risk of market manipulation including ‘pump-and-dump’ schemes, where the price is artificially inflated followed by a sudden crash.

Lack of transparency: Meme coins may have limited available information about their development teams, goals, and financials. This lack of transparency can make it challenging to assess the credibility and potential of a meme coin accurately.

Emotional investing: Meme coins often garner strong emotional reactions from investors, leading to impulsive decisions. Emotional trading activity can amplify losses.

About SHIBA INU

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a token that aspires to be an Ethereum-based alternative to Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular memecoin. Unlike Bitcoin, which is designed to be scarce, SHIB is intentionally abundant — with a total supply of one quadrillion. The Shiba Inu Token ecosystem supports projects such as an NFT art incubator and the development of a decentralized exchange called Shibaswap.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a decentralized, community-led cryptocurrency that was developed to answer a simple question: What would happen if a cryptocurrency project was 100 percent run by its community? Originating in late 2020, this Ethereum-based token has grown into a global phenomenon, accepted at numerous locations as a form of payment, either directly or via third-party intermediaries. The Shiba Inu ecosystem is not just about the SHIB token: it also includes other tokens like LEASH and BONE, includes a decentralized exchange called Shibaswap that allows users to provide liquidity, stake, and swap tokens to receive compensation, and includes ShibaSwap's Staking Pools. Like DOGE, SHIB is intentionally abundant — with an initial circulating supply of one quadrillion coins.

Shiba Inu operates on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing the power of smart contracts to facilitate transactions and other operations. The Shiba Inu ecosystem includes ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange where users can swap tokens, provide liquidity, and stake their holdings to receive compensation. The ecosystem has also introduced Shibarium, a Layer-2 solution which had processed over four million transactions as of November 2023.

Shiba Inu was created in August 2020 by an individual or group of individuals under the pseudonym "Ryoshi." The token quickly gained traction, and its popularity surged even further when a significant portion of the SHIB supply was burned, meaning destroyed, hence increasing its rarity. The token's Shiba Inu's history is marked by its community-driven approach, with its creator, Ryoshi, emphasizing the importance of a decentralized, community-led project.

You can buy, send, and receive SHIB from a few different crypto exchanges like Coinbase, for example. Because SHIB is issued as an Ethereum token, it's compatible with Ethereum wallets like Coinbase Wallet and available on decentralized exchanges (or DEXs) like UniSwap.

SHIB, unlike DOGE, is compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem — which has allowed the community to create crypto apps like ShibaSwap, a DEX running on the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to trade and stake tokens without an intermediary.
