Part 3
Risk Factors
This section contains a number of risk factors relating to the Tokens. An investment in the Tokens involves a significant degree of risk and prior to making an investment decision, prospective purchasers should carefully read this document, the Lite Paper, the White Paper, the Burns Policy, the Terms of Service and the Prohibited List.
The risks set out below are those that the Issuer believes are the most key but this is not an exhaustive list. Any purchaser should consider their own position and take their own advice before buying, holding or otherwise dealing in the Tokens. The Tokens are complex products which incorporate a high degree of risk and should only be bought or traded in by persons with appropriate technical knowledge who have experience with similar products.
General investment risk
A Holder of the Tokens may lose the value of part of or their entire holding.
Price volatility may result in long-term returns being significantly different to overall changes in the relevant Reference Asset
The Tokens provide Holders, before fees and expenses, with an inverse and/or leveraged notional exposure to the percentage changes in the relevant Reference Asset Price in the relevant Leverage Period. The Leverage Period typically runs between each Valuation Point and is 24 hours but may be shorter in the case a Threshold Rebalance were to occur. As an example, in the case of BTCSHORT, if the price of Bitcoin were to drop 5% in any Leverage Period, then the value of each BTCSHORT Token which is pegged to -1 x the percentage change in price of Bitcoin would go up, before fees and adjustments by 5%. This is different to the value of BTCSHORT always being -1 times the value of Bitcoin at any time and the actual change in the value of BTCSHORT over periods of time greater than one Leverage Period will differ significantly from the value of -1 times the value of Bitcoin.
For periods of longer than one Leverage Period the Tokens may either outperform or underperform (before fees and adjustments) the inverse and/or leveraged value of the Reference Asset over that period.
Examples showing the practical impact of this are set out in the Appendix.
For further examples of the impact of the Leverage Period on the performance of a particular Token over time, potential Holders are encouraged to consult the performance simulator the Issuer has made available at https://amun.com/tokens/btcshort. The examples set out above and in the performance simulator are for illustrative purposes and do not reflect actual Token Values or actual performance of any Reference Asset nor do they represent any representation or warranty by the Issuer as to any Token Value or Reference Asset performance.
Issuer risk
Whilst Holders will have no guaranteed right to ask the Issuer to Burn their Tokens in exchange for Base Currency or any other stable coin, in the event that the Issuer permits such a Burn, the Holder will be exposed to credit risk in relation to the Issuer and a Holder’s ability to obtain payment in exchange for the Tokens the subject of the Burn Request will be dependent on the Issuer's ability to meet its payment obligations. The Issuer intends to voluntarily hold assets equivalent to its potential exposure to Holders of the Tokens however there can be no guarantee that at all times it will or that it will or be able to realise any assets in order to meet any payment obligations to Holders that it has accepted.
In addition, the Issuer will be exposed to the credit risk of any counterparties with whom the it transacts, including, but not limited to, custodians, wallet provider(s), depositaries, market makers, and any trading contract counterparties. Consequently, the Issuer is exposed to risks, including credit risk, reputational risk and settlement risk, arising from the failure of any of its counterparties to fulfil their respective obligations, which, if any such risks occur, may have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s business and financial position and its ability to support the Tokens.
The Tokens are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any other party.
Exchange risk
The Issuer is seeking to make the Tokens available on various token exchanges. Holders should note that the Issuer cannot guarantee that the Tokens will be accepted for trading on such exchanges or that an active market in the Tokens will develop on such exchanges. In addition, at any time, the value at which the Tokens trade on any exchange may not reflect accurately the Token Value as it will be a function of supply and demand amongst Holders wishing to buy and sell those Tokens on a particular exchange.
The Issuer will seek to ensure that there are market makers for the Tokens operating on the relevant exchanges to maintain an active market at any time but is not required to do so. As a result, holders of the Tokens are at risk of being unable to sell their Tokens at the time or value they desire.
Currency risk
The Tokens of each type are denominated and valued in a stablecoin Base Currency. To the extent a Holder makes Mint Payments in any other currency or values their investments in another currency, fiat or crypto, the value of Tokens they receive or the value they give to the Tokens, will be impacted by changes in the exchange rate between the relevant Base Currency and that other currency.
Business Risk
Business risks are risks that arise as a consequence of external circumstances or events that harms the image of the Issuer or the Tokens. The Issuer and its Affiliates’ ability to conduct their businesses is dependent on their ability to comply with rules and regulations. The failure to pass any audit regarding compliance with rules and regulations or to be found in breach of regulations applicable to the Issuer or its Affiliates could result in fines or adverse publicity which could have a material adverse effect on the business and which may lead to decreased results of operations and financial condition. New legislation or regulations, decisions by public authorities or changes regarding the application of or interpretation of existing legislation, regulations or decisions by public authorities applicable to the Issuer's or its Affiliates’ operations, the Tokens and/or the Reference Assets, may adversely affect their business or the value of the Tokens.
Regulatory risks relating to the Tokens and the Reference Assets
The lack of consensus concerning the regulation of digital currencies and digital assets and how such currencies and assets shall be treated causes uncertainty regarding their legal and taxation status. As all digital currencies and some digital assets are as yet unregulated assets, there is a risk that politics and future regulations will affect the market of digital currencies and assets and companies operating in such market. Exactly how politics and future regulations may affect the market is impossible to know.
However, future regulations and changes in the legal status of the Tokens and/or the Reference Assets is a risk which may affect the value of the Tokens and/or Reference Assets, the Issuers ability to support the Tokens, Exchanges ability to provide markets in the Tokens and a Holders rights and obligations in respect of the Tokens.
Risks associated with Forced Burns or Forced Moves
The Issuer may initiate a Forced Burn of one or more Tokens or force the movement of a particular Token or Tokens to or from a particular wallet. In such circumstances the Holder of the Tokens from whose wallet they have been burned or moved may not receive compensation for the loss of those Tokens. Further details as to how these processes will work from a technical perspective are set out in the White Paper
Risk associated with development of protocols
The protocols for digital assets such as the Tokens and the Reference Assets are publicly available and under development and are not controlled by the Issuer.
Further development and acceptance of the protocols is dependent on a number of factors. The development of any of these digital assets including the Reference Assets and the Tokens, may be prevented or delayed, should disagreements between participants, developers and members of the network arise. New and improved versions of the source code will be "voted" in by a majority of the members/miners of the network carrying out the changes in their nodes, meaning upgrading their nodes to the latest version of the code. Should a situation arise where it is not possible to reach a majority in the network regarding the implementation of a new version of the protocol, this may mean that, among other things, the improvement of that protocol’s scalability may be restrained. Should the development of one of the Tokens or Reference Assets protocols be prevented or delayed, this may adversely affect the value of the Tokens or Reference Assets. Further, as the structure of the protocols for the Tokens and Reference Assets are public, a kind of direct compensation for the developers of the respective protocol is missing, which could lead to decreased incentives for continuous development of the protocols. Should these protocols not develop further, the value of the associated digital asset will decrease, which in turn would affect the value of the Reference Assets and the Tokens. The source code of digital currencies such as the Tokens or the Reference Assets is public and may be downloaded and viewed by anyone. Despite this, there may be a bug in the respective code which is yet to be found and repaired, which may jeopardise the integrity and security of one or more of these networks.
Concentration risk
The decentralised global P2P-network (peer-to-peer) of nodes making up the network of certain of the Reference Assets should, to achieve high security, be spread on several participants. Should one participant control over 50% of all capacity to verify transactions in the network, there is a risk that such participant will be able to verify 100% of all transactions and thus earn all the rewards in the network.
Risk associated with deletion of recent transactions
As private keys are needed to create transactions in the Tokens and the Reference Assets, a participant is not able to create new transactions without such private key, however, may in certain circumstances it is possible to delete recent transactions without the private key. Whilst it is thought that this would be impossible to accomplish without being discovered and it is difficult to see a scenario in which the participant would be able to achieve a financial profit, such a scenario would certainly materially damage the confidence in a Token or a Reference Asset whether any financial losses or other improprieties occur or not.
Loss of Private Keys
Private keys are required to create transactions in the Tokens. If a Holder loses the private key(s) for, or otherwise loses access to the wallets in which they hold the Tokens, the Issuer will not be able to recover those Tokens on behalf of the Holder and the Holder will lose the value of those Tokens.
Third Party Software
The Issuer and Jasper make use of Third Party Software including in the process to identify users of Jasper, Mint and/or Burn Requests or verification of wallet addresses. The ability of the Issuer to support the Tokens is therefore subject to such Third Party Software and the Issuer’s ability to access it. Any defects in or loss of access to such Third Party Software may prevent the Issuer from being able to operate the Tokens and or Jasper and Holders are at risk that the Tokens they hold will no longer be tradeable or have any inherent value.
Forking
If the Reference Asset of a particular Token is subject to a Fork, then any new crypto asset resulting from such Fork will form part of the Reference Asset for that Token. In these circumstances the Token Value of the affected Tokens will now be determined by reference to both the original Reference Asset and the newly forked crypto asset and therefore the notional exposure of that Token in the then occuring Leverage Period will be to both assets.
The forked asset will be removed as part of the Reference Asset at the next Valuation Point.
Zero Ether Balance
The contract underlying the Tokens prohibits most but not all methods by which Ether could be sent to it by a user who is not a Holder. If Ether is transferred to the contract underlying the Token, the Issuer has no obligation to, return, keep or otherwise deal in such Ether and it will not accrue to the benefit of any Holder.
Transfer Risk
If Tokens, Mint Payments or Burn Proceeds are sent to an incorrect address, there may be no way of recovering those Tokens, Mint Payments or Burn Proceeds. Holders should note that an Ethereum address with positive Token balances may not correspond to any actual user or private key and may be the result of a mistake. Tokens transferred to incorrect addresses will likely be lost.
Part 3
Key Information
What are the Tokens?
The Tokens are ERC20 smart contracts each providing Holders of the different types of Tokens with inverse and/or leveraged notional exposures to daily price movements in a certain crypto asset or group of crypto assets.
In each Leverage Period, each Token will operate like a stablecoin giving a fixed exposure to the performance of the reference asset(s) in that Leverage Period.
Who is the Issuer of the Tokens?
The Tokens are issued by Amun Limited, a limited company incorporated in the Seychelles with company reference 219496 and with registered office of Suite 202 2nd Floor, Eden Plaza, Eden Island, PO Box 1352, Mahe Seychelles.
The Issuer is part of the Amun group of companies which is the world’s largest issuer of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), which are launched under the 21Shares brand. The 21Shares suite of products includes over 11 crypto based ETPs, including indexes, single asset trackers, and short/inverse exposures.
Are there any other documents I should read?
As well as the information set out in this document, potential holders should read the Terms of Service, the Lite Paper, the White Paper, the Prohibited List and the Burn Policy.
What is the value of the Tokens?
The first Token of each type issued will have an initial Token Value as set out in Schedule 1 for Tokens of that particular type.
Thereafter, each Token will have a value calculated in accordance with the following formula:
TV(i) = 100 x LF(i)(1-daily % change in Reference Asset Price in the Leverage Period) – DF(i)
Where:
TV(i) is the Token Value of a Token of type I;
LF(i) is the Leverage Factor for a Token of type I;
DF(i) is the Daily Fee for a Token of type i on the day and at the time at which the Token Value for that Token is being calculated.
The Reference Asset Price for Tokens of a particular type will be determined as set out in Schedule 1 for that type of Token. In some cases, one price from an independent source will be taken, in other cases a weighted average price will be calculated using data from a number of different exchanges upon which the relevant Reference Asset or futures contracts based thereon are traded.
How can I buy the Tokens?
Tokens can be purchased in 2 ways:
Direct from the Issuer
To purchase Tokens directly from the Issuer potential Holders should:
- Register for use of Jasper available at https://tokens.amun.com.
- Complete all required due diligence and know your customer requirements.
- Submit a request to the Issuer for a Mint of Tokens in accordance with the Terms of Service.
- Transfer Delivery Currency in the amount required to the Issuer’s public address as provided by Jasper which will include a fee relating to such Mint (as set out in Schedule 1 for a Token of a particular type).
Only once these steps have been completed will the Issuer Mint the relevant Tokens and deliver them to the wallet that the buyer has whitelisted for such purposes via Jasper.
Through Jasper, a potential Holder may seek to speed up the confirmation of their transactions and receipt of the Tokens by selecting to apply additional Gas to such transactions. The Issuer cannot guarantee the time it will take for the relevant transactions to be processed. The Issuer is reliant on the speed of the Ethereum network to process transactions and typically requires 12 confirmations before accepting a transaction. Users have the option to increase Gas on a transaction to increase the speed of processing although this does not guarantee instantaneous process. Please see the Lite Paper or White Paper for additional information on Gas calculations and transaction processing times.
Before considering a purchase of Tokens all users should refer to the detailed product specification set out in the White Paper as well as the Terms of Service, the Burn Policy and the Prohibited List.
On Exchange
The Issuer will endeavour to make the Tokens available for trading on various token exchanges. Potential Holders may, if they are set up to trade on such exchanges, buy Tokens on those exchanges. As at the date of this document, the Tokens of each type are available for trading on the exchanges set out in Schedule 1 which include::
- HitBTC
- Liquid
Users should note that in purchasing on these exchanges, they may incur costs charged by the exchanges and that the Tokens may trade on these exchanges at different values to the Token Value published by the Issuer.
What terms apply to the purchase of Tokens from the Issuer?
When purchasing Tokens directly from the Issuer, buyers are required to agree to the Terms of Service.
What terms apply to Holders and sellers of the Tokens?
All Holders of Tokens are bound by the Terms and Conditions set out in Part 4 (Terms and Conditions). When asking the Issuer to Mint or Burn Tokens of a particular type through Jasper, Holders will also be subject to the Terms of Service.
How can I sell the Tokens?
A Holder may sell their Tokens in two ways
Voluntary Burn
Holders may ask the Issuer to Burn their Tokens in exchange for delivery by the Issuer to the Holder of the equivalent Base Currency, less any fees and expenses. The Issuer is not obliged to accept Burn request from Holders and will do so only if it is in line with its then existing Burn Policy.
As at the date of this document, the Burn Policy of the Issuer is to accept Burn Requests from Holders via Jasper provided that such Holders agree to the Terms of Service and meet all necessary anti-money laundering and know you client requirements.
To request the Burn of their Tokens by the Issuer, Holders should:
- Register for use of the Jasper available at https://tokens.amun.com/sign-up.
- Complete all required due diligence and know your customer requirements.
- Submit their application for the Burn of their Tokens in accordance with the Terms of Service.
- Transfer the relevant Tokens to the Issuer’s public address as provided by Jasper
On completion of the above steps the Issuer will transfer Base Currency in a corresponding amount to the then Token Value less any applicable Burn Fee to the Holder. Technical details relating to the process for the Burn of Tokens is set out in the White Paper.
Before considering a burn of Tokens, Holders should refer to the detailed product specification set out in the White Paper as well as the Terms of Service and the Burn Policy.
On Exchange
The Issuer will endeavour to make the Tokens available for trading on various token exchanges. Holders may, if they are set up to trade on such exchanges, sell Tokens on those exchanges. As at the date of this document, the Tokens are available for trading on the exchanges as set out in Schedule 1 in respect of Tokens of a particular type, including the following exchanges:
- HitBTC
- Liquid
Holders should note that in purchasing on these exchanges, they may incur costs charged by the exchanges and that the Tokens may trade on these exchanges at different values to the Token Value published by the Issuer.
Can anyone buy and sell the Tokens?
Tokens are not available to individuals or entities ordinarily resident in the United States, Switzerland, the Seychelles or of any other country from time to time designated by the Issuer as set out in the Prohibited List.
Any other persons may be eligible to buy Tokens provided that they have met all necessary sign up, anti-money laundering and know your client requirements of the Issuer (through Jasper) and/or the exchanges through which they wish to buy or sell Tokens.
Does the Issuer hold any assets in relation to the Tokens in which Holders have rights or security?
Holders have no rights or interest in any assets of the Issuer. The Issuer may choose to voluntarily hedge its potential liabilities to Holders (to the extent it accepts Burn requests for the Tokens) by holding a range of assets including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, loans, futures and other derivative instruments. The Issuer may also choose to lend its assets in order to seek an interest or other return. All interest or profit earned on the Issuer’s assets is for the benefit of the Issuer only and does not accrue to Holders.
