Please read and fully understand this Risk Disclosure before viewing or using such information.

1. Third-Party Data Sources

1. Certain data, project information, and other content displayed on the Market Overview page are provided by third-party data providers, including CoinGecko.
2. Third-party data may include, but is not limited to:
   • Digital asset names and symbols;
   • Market capitalization and fully diluted valuation;
   • Market capitalization rankings;
   • 24-hour trading volume;

   • Other publicly available market information relating to digital assets or projects.
3. IBIT only integrates and displays third-party data. Such display does not constitute IBIT’s approval, recommendation, endorsement, or guarantee of any project, digital asset, or third-party information.

2. Data Accuracy and Timeliness

1. Third-party data may be affected by data-source update frequency, statistical methodology, network latency, API errors, market volatility, and other factors.
2. Different data platforms may use different coverage, pricing sources, trading-volume methodologies, and supply calculations. As a result, information relating to the same digital asset may differ across platforms.
3. Market capitalization, rankings, trading volume, supply, historical prices, and other data may be delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated, incorrectly calculated, or temporarily unavailable.
4. IBIT makes no express or implied representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, continued availability, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose of third-party data.
5. A delay in third-party data updates does not necessarily indicate an issue with IBIT’s trading pages, order system, or account data.

3. Difference Between Market Overview and Trading Data

1. The Market Overview page is primarily intended to display publicly available digital asset information and third-party market statistics.
2. Prices, market capitalization, trading volume, rankings, and historical data displayed in Market Overview are provided for informational purposes only. They should not be used as the sole basis for order execution, opening or closing positions, take-profit or stop-loss instructions, margin management, or other trading actions.
3. When trading, users should refer to the latest traded price, order price, mark price, index price, funding rate, and account data displayed on the relevant IBIT trading page.
4. Market Overview data may differ from information displayed on IBIT’s trading pages because of differences in data sources, reporting times, and calculation methodologies.
5. If information displayed in Market Overview differs from information on the relevant trading page, users should prioritize the relevant trading page and applicable Platform rules.

4. No Investment Advice

1. All content displayed on the Market Overview page is provided solely for general information and market reference.
2. Such information does not constitute:
   • Investment advice;
   • Trading advice;
   • Financial advice;
   • Legal or tax advice;
   • A recommendation of any digital asset;
   • A promise of returns or price forecast;
   • An offer or invitation to buy, sell, hold, or invest in any digital asset.
3. A project’s ranking, market capitalization, trading volume, supply, community information, or historical performance does not indicate its security, regulatory status, liquidity, or future performance.
4. Past prices or market performance of a digital asset do not guarantee future results.
5. Users should not make investment or trading decisions solely based on information displayed on the Market Overview page.

5. Digital Asset Trading Risks

1. Digital asset prices are highly volatile and may rise or fall significantly within a short period.
2. Insufficient liquidity, price gaps, network congestion, regulatory changes, project-related risks, security incidents, and other factors may materially affect digital asset prices.
3. Futures trading involves leverage. Even a small market movement may significantly increase profits or losses and may result in the loss of some or all margin.
4. Under extreme market conditions, users may be unable to execute orders, close positions, or trigger take-profit or stop-loss instructions at the expected price.
5. Before trading, users should fully understand the relevant product mechanisms and risks and make decisions based on their financial situation, investment experience, and risk tolerance.

6. Project Information and External Links

1. Project descriptions, official websites, white papers, code repositories, blockchain explorers, and social media information may be provided by project teams or third-party data providers.
2. IBIT cannot continuously verify whether all external information is authentic, accurate, complete, or current.
3. Third-party websites and links may be subject to content changes, service interruptions, cyberattacks, malicious software, phishing, or other security risks.
4. Before accessing a third-party website, users should carefully verify its domain name and independently assess its authenticity and security.
5. Users assume all risks and losses arising from accessing, using, or relying on third-party websites, products, services, or information.

7. Third-Party Service Risks

1. The Market Overview feature may depend on third-party data interfaces, network services, or technical infrastructure.
2. Some data may be delayed, unavailable, or missing because of third-party system maintenance, API adjustments, network interruptions, service restrictions, or other causes.
3. IBIT may adjust, replace, suspend, or terminate a third-party data service based on product, technical, security, or operational requirements.
4. To the extent permitted by applicable law, IBIT will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss resulting from the interruption, delay, error, or unavailability of a third-party data service.
