Frequently asked questions

What are the risks of crypto trading?

There are significant risks associated with trading cryptocurrencies due to their highly volatile nature. Note, the following list of risks provided is not exhaustive: 

  • Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets, and as such, there is a potential for significant financial losses including total loss of investment over a short period of time; 

  • Stablecoin categories of cryptocurrencies also pose risks and may undergo a decline in their market value, possibly leading to partial or total loss of investment; 

  • Cryptocurrencies, being digital assets, are susceptible to fraud, cyberattacks, and technical issues, which may lead to you losing your cryptocurrency; 

  • The value of a cryptocurrency may be contingent on the ongoing willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for it, and in the event the market for that cryptocurrency collapses, there is a potential for a permanent and total loss of value; 

  • A cryptocurrency transaction, once executed, may be irreversible and as a consequence, losses incurred as a result of fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable; 

  • Buying or selling cryptocurrencies may lead to novel tax implications and tax reporting obligations; and 

  • You may suffer market losses during periods of heightened volatility in the price and volume of specific cryptocurrencies, particularly when system issues arise, leading to the your inability to buy or sell when you want to. 

What are cryptocurrencies?

A cryptocurrency refers to a type of digital asset created from code. They were initially designed to provide an alternative payment method for online transactions, however, cryptocurrencies are not yet widely accepted for all transactions as some consider them too volatile to be suitable as methods of payment. 

Why trade crypto through CMC Invest?

You can buy or sell cryptocurrency from our user-friendly mobile app or desktop platform. Enjoy transparent costs with brokerage of 0.9% (plus FX fees). Simply log into your CMC Invest account, opt-in and carefully read the Cryptocurrency Terms and Conditions and risk disclosures to start trading crypto.  

Is crypto trading regulated in Australia?

As of October 2023, cryptocurrency trading in Australia is currently not subject to specific regulatory oversight, and cryptocurrencies may not enjoy the same level of protection as regulated financial products. However, at CMC Invest, we are committed to providing excellent service and will strive to address any issues or concerns you may have. 

What is mining?

Mining is the process of adding new transaction records as blocks to the existing blockchain. Miners use specialised hardware and software to compete to solve complex mathematical problems and add new blocks to the blockchain. Once a block is added - the miner who successfully added it is rewarded with new units of cryptocurrency known as 'block rewards'. Miners can inject these units directly back into the market. Due to their crucial role in the process, miners have a degree of ownership over their bitcoins within the blockchain. 

What is the blockchain?

The blockchain is a shared digital ledger which holds a record of all bitcoin transactions. Each cryptocurrency transaction is grouped together into 'blocks' by miners, who compete to add new blocks to the blockchain by solving complex mathematical problems. In return, miners are rewarded with newly created bitcoins. 

The transactions are then cryptographically secured before they are added to the existing blockchain. Each 'node' or computer connected to the network automatically downloads a copy of the blockchain which allows everyone to track transactions without the need for central record keeping. 

The blockchain is accessible to everybody at any time. The shared record can't be changed without the agreement of the rest of the network. 

How can I keep my crypto safeguarded with CMC Invest?

CMC Invest has partnered with Paxos, a trusted provider that uses enterprise-grade technology to ensure that its solution is resilient and secure.
