Disclaimer
Digital currency is not legal tender, is not backed by the government, and digital currency accounts and value balances on GrowUSD are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections. GrowUSD is not a bank and does not offer fiduciary services, and its representatives are not financial advisors. The interest rates reflected on this page are as of the current date and time, and may change at any time, before or after funds are deposited via the GrowUSD platform.
Any content contained on this website is for education purposes only, it is not investment advice. Nothing we say is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. There are no guarantees or certainties in Decentralized Finance. Many investors lose money. Do not invest with money you can’t afford to lose. Before deciding to participate in Decentralized Finance, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. Most importantly, do not invest money you cannot afford to lose. Decentralized Finance is a very new industry and largely unproven. There is considerable exposure to risk in any Decentralized Finance transaction, including, but not limited to, leverage, creditworthiness, limited regulatory protection and market volatility that may substantially affect the price or liquidity of a currency or currency pair.
The person who referred you to GrowUSD may receive a referral commission for introducing you should you choose to deposit funds and earn interest. GrowUSD will also receive a commission. These commissions, if any, are separate to the interest you will earn which is paid to you at the rate displayed on the site at any given time.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There are no guarantees of profit nor of avoiding losses when engaging in Decentralized Finance. Hypothetical results have many inherent limitations and are not predictive of actual success. No representation is being made that any action will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular investor. Any testimonials are not indicative of future success and have not been independently verified. Digital Currencies involves a high degree of risk.
We are not investment or trading advisers.
