Qué puede salir mal

A venue can remove an asset for regulatory, compliance, or commercial reasons, cutting its liquidity and its fiat gateway in that market.

Evidencia: Track listing status by venue and region over time, and read the venues' own delisting notices, which usually state a reason and a timetable. After a removal, look at the share of remaining filtered volume and at whether depth actually migrated or simply…

Action against one critical intermediary, such as an issuer, custodian, bridge operator, or staking service, can disable a function the asset depends on.

Evidencia: Map the intermediaries standing between the protocol and an ordinary user, including the issuer, the custodian, the fiat rails, the oracle operator, the sequencer, and the front-end host, then note where each is incorporated and what license it holds. For…

Addresses, protocols, or privacy tools can be sanctioned or restricted, and assets that touched them may be frozen or refused by regulated intermediaries.

Evidencia: Check whether the issuer has a freeze function, whether it has been used, and how often, since these actions are visible on-chain. Look at whether addresses associated with the asset appear on sanctions lists, how major venues describe their screening…

Whether a token is treated as a security, a commodity, or something else remains unresolved in several jurisdictions, and the answer changes who may list or hold it.

Evidencia: Check whether the asset has been named in enforcement filings, registration statements, or approved regulated products, and how regulated venues and custodians in each jurisdiction actually treat it. Look at whether an identifiable issuing entity exists and…

Rules on what may back a payment stablecoin, who may issue one, and how redemption works can force changes to reserves, availability, or the product itself.

Evidencia: Read the issuer's attestation, noting who signed it, under what standard, as of what date, and what instruments the reserves hold. Establish who may redeem at par, in what minimum size, and within what period, and identify the issuing entity's jurisdiction…

How staking rewards, forks, airdrops, wrapping, and lending are taxed varies by jurisdiction and is unsettled in places, creating liabilities that surprise holders.

Evidencia: Read the specific published guidance for the relevant jurisdiction and note exactly which events it addresses and which it leaves open. Check whether venues and custodians issue tax statements and what basis method they apply, and whether the protocol…

A trading venue may operate without licenses that would apply to a comparable regulated market, so customer protections differ from what the interface implies.

Evidencia: Read which licenses the venue actually names, in which jurisdiction, and for which activity, then check whether client assets are segregated by rule or only by promise in the terms. Look for an independent auditor, a published market-surveillance policy, and…
