I've been hearing a lot about cryptocurrencies recently and how they can potentially offer high returns. However, I've also come to understand that investing in crypto is considered high risk. I want to know why this is so, what are the specific factors that make cryptocurrencies a risky investment?

Measures against market manipulations or other harmful practices are often absent in unregulated environments. This lack of safeguards can lead to unfair trading practices, further endangering investors' financial well-being.

One such safeguard that may be lacking is the secure handling of client funds. In the absence of regulation, exchanges may not adhere to stringent security measures, leaving investors' money vulnerable to theft or mismanagement.

Safekeeping of assets is another area where unregulated exchanges may fall short. Without proper oversight, there is no guarantee that assets will be adequately protected from loss or damage.

Protection of personal information is also a concern with unregulated exchanges. Investors' sensitive data may not be adequately safeguarded, increasing the risk of identity theft or fraud.
