Risk Disclosure Statement

Last Updated: January 30, 2026

This Risk Disclosure Statement provides you with important information about the risks associated with using the AU Asset platform and holding AU Asset tokens. You should carefully consider these risks and your own financial situation before engaging in any transaction.

General Warning

Valid for Virtual Assets Services. The value of virtual assets can go up or down, and there can be a substantial risk that you lose money buying, selling, holding, or investing in virtual assets. Virtual assets are not legal tender in most jurisdictions and are not backed by governments.

1. Market Risk (Gold Price Volatility)

The AU Asset token is pegged to the price of physical gold. The price of gold is subject to fluctuations in the global commodities market, influenced by economic factors, geopolitical events, and supply and demand. You may not be able to sell your tokens at the same price you purchased them. Past performance of gold is not indicative of future results.

2. Technology and Smart Contract Risk

Our platform operates on blockchain technology (Ethereum/Polygon/etc.). While we employ rigorous auditing and security standards (ERC-3643), software code may contain bugs or vulnerabilities.

  • Blockchain Network Risk: Congestion, higher transaction fees, or consensus failures on the underlying blockchain are outside our control.
  • Wallet Security: Your private keys are managed by licensed and regulated custodians with the highest security standards. However, your platform credentials are your responsibility, and its theft may result in permanent loss of assets.

3. Regulatory Risk

Virtual asset regulations are evolving rapidly in the UAE and globally. Changes in laws, regulations, or VARA guidelines could affect our ability to provide services or the legality of holding tokens in your jurisdiction. We strive to maintain full compliance, but regulatory actions could impact platform operations.

4. Liquidity Risk

While we aim to provide liquidity for redemptions, under extreme market conditions or technical outages, it may be difficult or impossible to liquefy your position immediately. Redemption of physical gold is also subject to logistics, shipping, and minimum quantity thresholds.

5. Custodial Risk

Physical gold backing the tokens is held by regulated third-party custodians and is adequately insured.

6. No Financial Advice
