You can lose everything
Crypto is high risk. Prices can fall sharply, platforms can fail and assets can become hard to sell. Do not assume the protections available for other financial products apply to crypto. Check current FCA guidance.
Wallets and private keys
A wallet helps you control access to crypto. A private key or recovery phrase can give someone control of the assets. Never share it or type it into a link sent by a stranger. Losing it can mean losing access permanently.
Transfers can be irreversible
An incorrect address or network can result in a permanent loss. Research custody and withdrawal arrangements before using a service. Market Muse never asks you to connect a wallet or send crypto.
Spot common scams
Be wary of guaranteed returns, fake support accounts, pressure to act quickly and requests for extra payments to release withdrawals. Independently check the company and website rather than following unsolicited links.
