Investing carries inherent risks, including the potential loss of principal. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount originally invested. There is no fixed supply since the number of tokens issued will ultimately be determined by the demand. Examples of non-USD-denominated stable-price currencies include the EURS (offered by Statis), and TrueGBP (offered by Trust Token).

This puts you in the basic tax band, so you’ll pay 10% in Capital Gains Tax, so a total of £10. This matters because when you later spend, sell, swap or gift coins you received from a hard fork – they will still be subject to Capital Gains Tax at this point, just like any other crypto. For soft forks, you’ll receive no new assets – you can’t pay any tax. HMRC has pretty specific guidance on what is an allowable cost in crypto.

The risk of default is hence reduced, and the company lends out to more than one counterparty for reducing their counterparty risk.
