COQ Describes Itself As

COQ INU describes itself as the #1 memecoin on the Avalanche Network. Launched by community members, there was no initial distribution - the entire supply was deposited alongside 150 AVAX in initial liquidity. The contract has since been fully renounced and liquidity burned. 

Risks of COQ

Like an investment in other crypto assets, there are some general risks to investing in COQ. These include:  (i) volatility risk and liquidity risk, (ii) short history risk, (iii) demand risk, (iv) forking risk, (v) code defects, (vi) regulatory risk, (vii) electronic trading risk, and (viii) cyber security risk. For additional information of these and other general risks associated with crypto assets and Uphold’s platform, please refer to the Risks Specific to Holding Digital Assets statement.

In addition to these general risks, an investment in COQ is subject to the following specific risks:

• As a ‘memecoin’, COQ is a community project. There is no roadmap, and no funds have been raised for the project’s future development. 
• Any potential success associated with COQ is reliant on the growth of its decentralized community, and their continued trading and enthusiasm for the asset. These factors are difficult to predict, and could result in very high volatility.

We emphasize that this Crypto Asset Statement is not an exhaustive description or summary of all risks associated with COQ. Investors should conduct their own research and perform their own assessment before trading any crypto asset to determine the appropriate level of risk for their personal circumstances.

The COQ community is not under any legal or regulatory obligation to disclose material information to the public regarding its activities. Holders of COQ have no recourse to the COQ community or Uphold if COQ declines in value for any reason.

Changes to applicable law may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, or value of any of your crypto assets, and such changes may be sudden and without notice.
