U.S. Legal Disclaimer Important notices for readers in the United States

CryptoFox is a digital news publication. Our purpose is to inform, not to advise. Our reporters and contributors are journalists, not registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, or financial planners. Nothing we publish should be interpreted as a recommendation to acquire, hold, or dispose of any digital asset, security, commodity, or other financial instrument.

When CryptoFox publishes analysis of market conditions, price movements, or protocol developments, that analysis reflects the editorial judgment of our journalists based on publicly available information at the time of publication. It does not reflect a prediction about future performance, a recommendation of any course of action, or a professional assessment of any individual's financial situation.

Past performance reported in any CryptoFox article is not indicative of future results. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and speculative. The value of digital assets can fall to zero. Many digital assets have done exactly that. Investing in digital assets carries a high risk of total loss of capital.

CryptoFox is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment adviser, broker-dealer, or in any other capacity. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation of any security, including any digital asset that may be deemed a security under applicable U.S. law.

Certain digital assets may constitute "investment contracts" and therefore "securities" under the test established by the Supreme Court in SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946). CryptoFox may report on digital assets that are, or may be deemed to be, securities under this or other applicable standards. Such reporting is journalistic coverage of legal and regulatory developments — not advice to buy, sell, or hold such assets.

Applicable statutes

Securities Act of 1933 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Investment Advisers Act of 1940 Investment Company Act of 1940

CryptoFox journalism reporting on SEC actions, enforcement proceedings, or regulatory guidance constitutes protected First Amendment newsgathering and publication activity. It does not constitute advice, solicitation, or participation in any securities transaction.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has asserted jurisdiction over certain digital assets — including Bitcoin and Ether — as commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). CryptoFox is not registered with the CFTC as a commodity trading adviser (CTA), commodity pool operator (CPO), futures commission merchant (FCM), or in any other capacity regulated by the CFTC.

Nothing on CryptoFox constitutes commodity trading advice, a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any commodity or derivatives contract, or participation in any commodity pool. Our coverage of futures markets, derivatives, and CFTC regulatory activity is journalistic reporting only.

Commodity Exchange Act 7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. 17 C.F.R. Part 4

Certain statements in CryptoFox articles may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA) 15 U.S.C. § 78u-5. These statements may be identified by words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will," "could," "should," or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements appear in CryptoFox articles when we report on projections, forecasts, or statements made by companies, analysts, executives, and other third parties. These statements represent the views of those third parties, not of CryptoFox. CryptoFox does not independently validate, endorse, or adopt any such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those described. CryptoFox is under no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements quoted or referenced in its reporting after publication.

CryptoFox complies with the Federal Trade Commission's guides concerning endorsements and testimonials, 16 C.F.R. Part 255, and the FTC's guidelines on digital advertising disclosures.

Compensation and sponsored content

Where CryptoFox publishes sponsored content — articles produced with the financial participation of a third party — that content is clearly and prominently labeled "Sponsored" before the reader begins the article. This labeling satisfies the FTC's requirement that material connections between advertisers and publishers be disclosed clearly and conspicuously.

CryptoFox does not receive compensation in exchange for editorial coverage. Our reporters and editors do not accept payment, gifts above a nominal value, or any other material benefit in exchange for positive coverage. These policies are set out in full in our Code of Ethics and Funding & Ownership pages.

Affiliate links

CryptoFox does not use affiliate links or referral-fee arrangements. No link on CryptoFox.news generates revenue for CryptoFox if a reader clicks it and makes a purchase or signs up for a service. If this policy ever changes, affected links will be disclosed per FTC guidelines.

Employee and contributor holdings

CryptoFox journalists who hold cryptocurrency positions relevant to their coverage area are required to disclose those holdings in their articles and in our public Masthead. This disclosure practice satisfies the FTC's requirement that material connections — including financial interests — be disclosed when they could affect the credibility of coverage.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CRYPTOFOX, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND CONTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, ANY CONTENT PUBLISHED ON THIS WEBSITE.

This includes, without limitation, any losses arising from investment decisions made in reliance on content published by CryptoFox; any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill; or any other financial loss of any kind.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, the above limitations may not fully apply. Where legally required, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
