Whatever investors decide to trade in, wherever they choose to do it and whenever they buy or sell, they should be aware that crypto is extremely volatile and, for the time being, unregulated. This means they’ll get no support from the government if they’re scammed or lose money because an exchange or token collapses. The government is currently consulting on bringing the crypto market into regulation, which would force providers to play by the same rules as traditional financial services companies or else lose their trading licences. This would offer consumers much greater protection if implemented.
