【Important Notes (Please Read Carefully)】

Cryptocurrencies are not legal tender.

Cryptocurrencies can be used as payment only with the consent of the party receiving payment.

Buying, selling, or exchanging cryptocurrencies with other cryptocurrencies is a transaction that may result in losses due to price fluctuations. Cryptocurrency prices may decline due to changes in supply and demand, inflation, legal tender, movements in other markets, or changes in cryptocurrency-related circumstances.

The transaction price of over-the-counter derivatives related to cryptocurrencies is influenced by fluctuations in the supply and demand of such derivatives at the Company, as well as indirectly affected by price movements of the underlying cryptocurrencies referenced by these derivatives, potentially resulting in losses.

Over-the-counter derivatives related to cryptocurrencies allow the transaction amount—calculated as the product of transaction price and position quantity—to exceed the amount of deposited collateral. Therefore, due to fluctuations in supply and demand of such derivatives or price movements of the underlying cryptocurrencies, the transaction amount may move unfavorably beyond the deposited collateral amount, resulting in losses exceeding the initial deposit.

For individual customers, the required deposited collateral for over-the-counter derivatives related to cryptocurrencies must be at least 50% of the transaction amount, and the transaction amount must not exceed twice the deposited collateral. For details on deposited collateral, please refer to "What is bitFlyer Crypto CFD?"

On the sales desk, customers bear the spread—the difference between purchase and selling prices—when buying, selling, or exchanging cryptocurrencies. Fees, other charges, and calculation methods applicable to cryptocurrency transactions and over-the-counter derivatives are as specified in the "Fee Schedule and Tax" page.

Over-the-counter derivatives related to cryptocurrencies are conducted as principal transactions where the Company acts as the counterparty to customers.

Please thoroughly review the pre-contract disclosure documents and conduct transactions at your own judgment and responsibility.
