UK FCA Risk Notice

This notice provides additional information for users in the United Kingdom and explains the additional risk warnings and user protections Liftx applies before enabling crypto futures order-management features.

Liftx is a software platform that enables users to manage and monitor their own exchange accounts. Liftx does not provide investment advice, portfolio management, custody services, execution as principal, guaranteed returns, or financial promotions directed at UK consumers. All trading decisions are made solely by the user.

1. High-Risk Cryptoasset Warning

Cryptoassets are high risk and can be highly volatile. You could lose all the money you put at risk.

Do not use cryptoasset or futures features unless you fully understand the risks involved and can afford to lose the money invested. Protections such as the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and the Financial Ombudsman Service may not apply.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

2. Liftx's Role

Liftx provides software tools that allow users to connect supported third-party exchanges and manage orders and positions through those exchanges.

Liftx does not recommend investments, determine whether trading is suitable for you, execute trades as a broker or principal, or make discretionary trading decisions on your behalf.

Connected exchanges remain responsible for their own account eligibility requirements, KYC/AML procedures, product availability, execution, pricing, and exchange-level restrictions.

3. UK Compliance Controls

For users identified as being in the United Kingdom for regulatory purposes, Liftx applies additional FCA-related controls in the trading flow, including:

  • a UK crypto risk warning shown inside the app on each login and app reopen to remind users about cryptoasset trading risks;
  • a clear cryptoasset risk acknowledgement shown after login, blocking access to trading until accepted, including potential total loss and the fact that protections such as FSCS may not apply;
  • a cryptoasset risk quiz before trading starts, requiring UK users to confirm they understand key risks such as volatility, potential total loss, lack of financial advice, and possible lack of FSCS protection;
  • a futures risk notice and acknowledgement shown when a UK user tries to open a high-risk futures position, requiring confirmation before the position can be opened;
  • timestamped audit records for FCA-related user compliance actions, including risk acknowledgements, quiz completion, futures confirmations, user ID, and completion time.

These controls are designed to provide clear risk information, add positive friction before high-risk trading activity, and support informed decision-making. They may be updated as regulatory requirements evolve.

4. Futures and Leverage Risk

Futures and leveraged products can magnify both gains and losses. Positions may be liquidated rapidly, and users may lose the full amount committed to a position. Even small market movements may result in significant losses.

Orders may execute at prices different from those expected, and exchange outages, market volatility, or exchange restrictions may affect execution or availability.

Completion of a quiz, acknowledgement, or confirmation does not mean that cryptoasset trading or leveraged products are suitable for any individual user. These controls are intended solely to encourage informed decision-making before access to high-risk features.

5. No Incentives or Financial Advice

Liftx does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

Liftx does not offer bonuses, referral rewards, or incentives to encourage cryptoasset trading, nor does it compensate users for trading activity. Any educational material, product documentation, or risk-warning content is provided for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice or a recommendation to trade.

6. Records and Regulatory Updates

Liftx may maintain timestamped records of FCA-related user compliance actions, including risk acknowledgements, risk warnings shown, cryptoasset risk quiz completion, futures confirmations, user ID, and completion time, for compliance, security, fraud prevention, and dispute-resolution purposes.

Regulatory requirements evolve over time. Liftx may introduce additional safeguards, acknowledgements, eligibility checks, or access restrictions where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulatory guidance, exchange availability, or risk management considerations.

Liftx may also modify, suspend, or disable access to particular products or features in specific jurisdictions where required by applicable law, regulatory expectations, exchange availability, or operational risk considerations.
