Crypto-assets involve risks. Clients should carefully consider these risks before entering into transactions.

Transactions in crypto-assets may not be suitable for all persons.

Archway currently supports the following crypto-assets:

Clients should review the issuer documentation before transacting.

Key risks

Stablecoin de-pegging risk

Although USDC aims to maintain a value linked to the US dollar, the price may deviate from that value under certain market conditions.

Liquidity risk

During periods of market stress, liquidity in crypto-asset markets may decrease, which may affect pricing or the ability to transact.

Technology risk

Crypto-asset transactions rely on distributed ledger technology and supporting infrastructure. Failures or disruptions in these systems may affect transactions.

Operational risk

Operational incidents, cyber-security events, or failures of third-party service providers may impact services.

Regulatory risk

Crypto-asset regulation is evolving and may change in ways that affect the availability or operation of services.

Irreversibility of transactions

Transactions executed on blockchain networks are generally irreversible.

Sustainability information

USDC operates on multiple blockchain networks.

The environmental impact of crypto-assets depends primarily on the consensus mechanism used by the relevant blockchain network.

For example:

Ethereum currently uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, which has significantly lower energy consumption than Proof-of-Work systems.

Information about the environmental impact of the consensus mechanisms used by supported networks is available from the respective blockchain projects.
