RISK WARNINGS

WHERE APPLICABLE THE ISSUERS (“DLT ISSUERS”) OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY THAT ARE ADMITTED TO THE GBX DAX PROVIDE THEIR OWN INFORMATION IN RELATION TO FUNCTIONALITY AND RISKS OF THE VIRTUAL CURRENCY. GBX HAS IMPLEMENTED A NUMBER OF RULES APPLICABLE TO ANY VIRTUAL CURRENCY ADMITTED TO THE GBX DAX. VIRTUAL CURRENCY IS BROADLY CONSIDERED AS AN UNREGULATED FORM OF CROWD-FINANCING, PAYMENT OR UNREGULATED EXCHANGES OF CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY REPRESENTED VALUE.

BUYING VIRTUAL CURRENCY INVOLVES MANY DIFFERENT RISKS. VIRTUAL CURRENCIES OFTEN INVOLVE THE USE OF EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE, TECHNOLOGIES AND EVEN BUSINESS MODELS THAT MAY NOT COME TO FRUITION OR ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES SPECIFIED IN THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PARTICIPANTS. THERE IS A RISK OF ILLIQUIDITY.

THERE IS A RISK THAT MATERIAL LOSSES WILL ARISE TO USERS AS A RESULT OF VOLATILITY AND/OR SPECULATION. USERS MUST ENSURE THEY TAKE ALL RISK FACTORS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN DECIDING ON THE AMOUNT THEY WISH TO BUY, HOLD OR SELL AND THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH THEY WISH TO TRADE.

THE ABOVE RISK FACTORS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE LIST OF RISKS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO BUYING, SELLING, HOLDING AND TRADING VIRTUAL CURRENCY.

PROCESSING WITHDRAWALS

Virtual Currency withdrawals are processed via a combination of automatic and manual processes.

Automatic processing of small withdrawals is subject to the nominal balance of Virtual Currency being available in the hot wallet. From time to time, subject to the volume of small withdrawals, the nominal balance may have been withdrawn from the hot wallet and there may not be any Virtual Currency available to automatically process such small withdrawals. When such instances occur small withdrawals will not be processed until GBX has restored a balance of Virtual Currency within the hot wallet in order to facilitate the respective withdrawal requests. GBX performs a manual top-up of its hot wallet on a daily basis, on business days, between 7am and 9am UTC; therefore it may take up to up to a few days to process small withdrawals, especially if initiated at the end of the working week, over the weekend or over a public holiday.

If you intend to instigate a large withdrawal you can inform GBX support () and inform us in advance of the intended large withdrawal. Subject to applicable compliance procedures and available withdrawal personnel, large withdrawals may be able to be processed during times outside (and in addition to) the daily processing wallet top-up procedure on business days, between 7am and 9am UTC.
