Considerations | Fidelity","meta_descriptions":["Educate yourself on these risks and potential benefits of cryptocurrency before investing."],"attrs_boilerpipe_text":"Crypto risks and potential benefits to consider.\nRisks and benefits of cryptocurrency\nThere are both\nrisks and benefits\nassociated with cryptocurrencies. It’s crucial to educate yourself before deciding to determine if you’re comfortable with the risks. Here are a few considerations to get you started—note, this is not a full list.\nRisks of cryptocurrencies\nVolatility\nThe price of crypto has proven to be extremely\nvolatile\n, meaning it changes quickly and frequently showing high highs and low lows. While trends can change, there are many factors that contribute to the price\nfluctuation\n.\nRegulatory uncertainties\nGovernment regulations around crypto are constantly evolving and may differ based on where you live. Regulations could impact how you use or access your crypto, which can cause volatility and uncertainty. But since crypto is still new, it may take time for policymakers to establish clear, consistent guidelines.\nSecurities and scams\nNot all cryptocurrencies or trading platforms are created equal. Some platforms are more secure than others, and some newer coins could be a higher scam risk than those more established. There is also no protection or insurance for lost or stolen cryptocurrencies, so always\nresearch thoroughly\nbefore taking action.\nTechnical\nThere are two main ways to\nstore your crypto\n: privately in a non-custodial wallet on a personal device, like an app on your phone or laptop or in a cold storage wallet, or using a third-party custodian, like Fidelity Digital Assets\n®\nwho offers Fidelity Crypto\n®\n.\nWhen storing privately, you are solely responsible for the safety and security of your crypto. If you lose your private key, your hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts your\nwallet\n, you may lose your funds entirely.\nBenefits of cryptocurrencies\nIndependence\nCryptocurrencies were designed to be\ndecentralized\nwithout the control of a single government or central bank. A user may have unrestricted access to their coins, but they also have full responsibility for keeping them safe.\nAccessibility\nCrypto can be easily accessible to everyone around the clock, even those without access to traditional banking. Only an internet connection and a crypto wallet are required.\nLower fees and faster time\nCrypto transactions\ncan have lower fees and faster transfer times than some traditional bank transactions. For example, crypto can potentially avoid high fees associated with global wires and be accessible within minutes, which is a big difference from a standard 24-to-48 hour bank wire. However day-to-day bank transactions, like depositing checks or withdrawing cash are quick and have no fees.\nTransparency\nCryptocurrencies operate on\nblockchain\ntechnology that is fully public and immutable, meaning it cannot be changed, manipulated, or deleted, and every transaction can be seen or tracked at any time.\nMainstream support\nAs cryptocurrencies grow in popularity, mainstream financial institutions and businesses have begun to show interest by offering and\/or accepting\ncryptocurrencies\n. However, unlike traditional finance that has been around for 300+ years, cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy phase and their future remains uncertain.\nHigh return potential\nAlthough cryptocurrencies are\nhighly volatile\n, they have also yielded high returns in the past depending on when purchased. But it’s important to understand that past performance never guarantees or suggests future results.\nThe bottom line\nNot all coins or platforms are created equal.\nCrypto is a new, highly volatile asset class, and you need to be comfortable with the risks before taking action.\nEducate yourself thoroughly\nbefore deciding and only invest if you are prepared to lose the entire investment.","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main content](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/risks-and-benefits-of-crypto#navSkipToContent)\n\n[Fidelity.com Home](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/)\n\n[Log in](https:\/\/digital.fidelity.com\/prgw\/digital\/login\/full-page)\n\n- [Accounts & Trade]()\n  -

It’s crucial to educate yourself before deciding to determine if you’re comfortable with the risks. Here are a few considerations to get you started—note, this is not a full list.\n\n### Risks of cryptocurrencies\n**Volatility**\n\n![Infographic explaining cryptocurrency is volatile and crypto price goes up and down.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-2.png)\n\nThe price of crypto has proven to be extremely [volatile](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/bitcoin-price), meaning it changes quickly and frequently showing high highs and low lows. While trends can change, there are many factors that contribute to the price [fluctuation](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/what-makes-crypto-go-up-and-down).\n\n**Regulatory uncertainties**\n\n![Infographic explaining crypto regulations are still new.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-3.png)\n\nGovernment regulations around crypto are constantly evolving and may differ based on where you live. Regulations could impact how you use or access your crypto, which can cause volatility and uncertainty. But since crypto is still new, it may take time for policymakers to establish clear, consistent guidelines.\n\n**Securities and scams**\n\n![Infographic explaining some cryptocurrency networks could be a higher scam risk.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-4.png)\n\nNot all cryptocurrencies or trading platforms are created equal. Some platforms are more secure than others, and some newer coins could be a higher scam risk than those more established. There is also no protection or insurance for lost or stolen cryptocurrencies, so always [research thoroughly](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/evaluate-cryptocurrencies) before taking action.\n\n**Technical**\n\n![Infographic explaining how to store cryptocurrency and how to keep cryptocurrency safe.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-5.png)\n\nThere are two main ways to [store your crypto](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/non-custodial-wallets-vs-custodial-wallets): privately in a non-custodial wallet on a personal device, like an app on your phone or laptop or in a cold storage wallet, or using a third-party custodian, like Fidelity Digital Assets® who offers Fidelity Crypto®.\n\nWhen storing privately, you are solely responsible for the safety and security of your crypto. If you lose your private key, your hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts your [wallet](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/crypto-wallet), you may lose your funds entirely.\n\n![](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/interactives\/crypto-did-you-now-2014-21_large-promo-background.png)\n\n### Did you know?\nThere are over 23,200 cryptocurrencies as of April 2023.1\n\n### Benefits of cryptocurrencies\n**Independence**\n\n![Infographic explaining crypto is independent because of decentralization.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-6.png)\n\nCryptocurrencies were designed to be [decentralized](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/decentralized-finance-defined) without the control of a single government or central bank. A user may have unrestricted access to their coins, but they also have full responsibility for keeping them safe.\n\n**Accessibility**\n\n![Infographic explaining crypto is easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-7.png)\n\nCrypto can be easily accessible to everyone around the clock, even those without access to traditional banking. Only an internet connection and a crypto wallet are required.\n\n**Lower fees and faster time**\n\n![Infographic explaining crypto transactions can be faster and cheaper than traditional finance.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-8.png)\n\n[Crypto transactions](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/crypto-vs-cash) can have lower fees and faster transfer times than some traditional bank transactions. For example, crypto can potentially avoid high fees associated with global wires and be accessible within minutes, which is a big difference from a standard 24-to-48 hour bank wire. However day-to-day bank transactions, like depositing checks or withdrawing cash are quick and have no fees.\n\n**Transparency**\n\n![Infographic explaining how crypto runs on public blockchain technology.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-9.png)\n\nCryptocurrencies operate on [blockchain](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/blockchain-101) technology that is fully public and immutable, meaning it cannot be changed, manipulated, or deleted, and every transaction can be seen or tracked at any time.\n\n**Mainstream support**\n\n![Infographic explaining the mainstream adoptions of cryptocurrency.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-10.png)\n\nAs cryptocurrencies grow in popularity, mainstream financial institutions and businesses have begun to show interest by offering and\/or accepting [cryptocurrencies](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/crypto\/crypto-in-the-real-world). However, unlike traditional finance that has been around for 300+ years, cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy phase and their future remains uncertain.\n\n**High return potential**\n\n![Infographic explaining the potential high return cryptocurrencies may yield.](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/charts-and-graphics\/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-11.png)\n\nAlthough cryptocurrencies are [highly volatile](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/bitcoin-price \"highly volatile\"), they have also yielded high returns in the past depending on when purchased. But it’s important to understand that past performance never guarantees or suggests future results.\n\n![](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/600_Fidelity_Com_English\/images\/learning-center\/interactives\/crypto-did-you-now-2014-21_large-promo-background.png)\n\n### Did you know?\nSmart contracts, like those built on Ethereum, will execute automatically when outlined conditions are met.\n\n### The bottom line\n**Not all coins or platforms are created equal.** Crypto is a new, highly volatile asset class, and you need to be comfortable with the risks before taking action. [Educate yourself thoroughly](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/learning-center\/trading-investing\/how-to-learn-about-cryptocurrency) before deciding and only invest if you are prepared to lose the entire investment.\n\n## Trade with Fidelity Crypto®\nBuy, sell, and transfer crypto in the same app where you trade stocks and ETFs.\n\n[Open an account](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/crypto\/trading)\n\n## More to explore\n### [Crypto at Fidelity](https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/crypto\/overview)\nLearn about Fidelity's approach and explore investment ideas.\n\n### [Covering Crypto Livestream](https:\/\/fidelityevents.com\/allevents\/special\/filtered?hubFilter=tags%7Ccrypto)\nGet in the know and register for the next event.\n\n## Subscribe to Decode Crypto\nClarity on crypto every month.

Crypto risks and potential benefits to consider. Risks and benefits of cryptocurrency There are both risks and benefits associated with cryptocurrencies. It’s crucial to educate yourself before deciding to determine if you’re comfortable with the risks. Here are a few considerations to get you started—note, this is not a full list. Risks of cryptocurrencies Volatility The price of crypto has proven to be extremely volatile , meaning it changes quickly and frequently showing high highs and low lows. While trends can change, there are many factors that contribute to the price fluctuation . Regulatory uncertainties Government regulations around crypto are constantly evolving and may differ based on where you live. Regulations could impact how you use or access your crypto, which can cause volatility and uncertainty. But since crypto is still new, it may take time for policymakers to establish clear, consistent guidelines. Securities and scams Not all cryptocurrencies or trading platforms are created equal. Some platforms are more secure than others, and some newer coins could be a higher scam risk than those more established. There is also no protection or insurance for lost or stolen cryptocurrencies, so always research thoroughly before taking action. Technical There are two main ways to store your crypto : privately in a non-custodial wallet on a personal device, like an app on your phone or laptop or in a cold storage wallet, or using a third-party custodian, like Fidelity Digital Assets ® who offers Fidelity Crypto ® . When storing privately, you are solely responsible for the safety and security of your crypto. If you lose your private key, your hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts your wallet , you may lose your funds entirely. Benefits of cryptocurrencies Independence Cryptocurrencies were designed to be decentralized without the control of a single government or central bank. A user may have unrestricted access to their coins, but they also have full responsibility for keeping them safe. Accessibility Crypto can be easily accessible to everyone around the clock, even those without access to traditional banking. Only an internet connection and a crypto wallet are required. Lower fees and faster time Crypto transactions can have lower fees and faster transfer times than some traditional bank transactions. For example, crypto can potentially avoid high fees associated with global wires and be accessible within minutes, which is a big difference from a standard 24-to-48 hour bank wire. However day-to-day bank transactions, like depositing checks or withdrawing cash are quick and have no fees. Transparency Cryptocurrencies operate on blockchain technology that is fully public and immutable, meaning it cannot be changed, manipulated, or deleted, and every transaction can be seen or tracked at any time. Mainstream support As cryptocurrencies grow in popularity, mainstream financial institutions and businesses have begun to show interest by offering and/or accepting cryptocurrencies . However, unlike traditional finance that has been around for 300+ years, cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy phase and their future remains uncertain. High return potential Although cryptocurrencies are highly volatile , they have also yielded high returns in the past depending on when purchased. But it’s important to understand that past performance never guarantees or suggests future results. The bottom line Not all coins or platforms are created equal. Crypto is a new, highly volatile asset class, and you need to be comfortable with the risks before taking action. Educate yourself thoroughly before deciding and only invest if you are prepared to lose the entire investment.

Crypto risks and potential benefits to consider. Fidelity Learn ![](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/heros/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Header-Illustration-1.png) ### Risks and benefits of cryptocurrency There are both [risks and benefits](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/investing-in-bitcoin) associated with cryptocurrencies. It’s crucial to educate yourself before deciding to determine if you’re comfortable with the risks. Here are a few considerations to get you started—note, this is not a full list. ### Risks of cryptocurrencies **Volatility** ![Infographic explaining cryptocurrency is volatile and crypto price goes up and down.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-2.png) The price of crypto has proven to be extremely [volatile](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/bitcoin-price), meaning it changes quickly and frequently showing high highs and low lows. While trends can change, there are many factors that contribute to the price [fluctuation](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/what-makes-crypto-go-up-and-down). **Regulatory uncertainties** ![Infographic explaining crypto regulations are still new.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-3.png) Government regulations around crypto are constantly evolving and may differ based on where you live. Regulations could impact how you use or access your crypto, which can cause volatility and uncertainty. But since crypto is still new, it may take time for policymakers to establish clear, consistent guidelines. **Securities and scams** ![Infographic explaining some cryptocurrency networks could be a higher scam risk.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-4.png) Not all cryptocurrencies or trading platforms are created equal. Some platforms are more secure than others, and some newer coins could be a higher scam risk than those more established. There is also no protection or insurance for lost or stolen cryptocurrencies, so always [research thoroughly](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/evaluate-cryptocurrencies) before taking action. **Technical** ![Infographic explaining how to store cryptocurrency and how to keep cryptocurrency safe.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-5.png) There are two main ways to [store your crypto](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/non-custodial-wallets-vs-custodial-wallets): privately in a non-custodial wallet on a personal device, like an app on your phone or laptop or in a cold storage wallet, or using a third-party custodian, like Fidelity Digital Assets® who offers Fidelity Crypto®. When storing privately, you are solely responsible for the safety and security of your crypto. If you lose your private key, your hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts your [wallet](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/crypto-wallet), you may lose your funds entirely. ![](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/interactives/crypto-did-you-now-2014-21_large-promo-background.png) ### Did you know? There are over 23,200 cryptocurrencies as of April 2023.1 ### Benefits of cryptocurrencies **Independence** ![Infographic explaining crypto is independent because of decentralization.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-6.png) Cryptocurrencies were designed to be [decentralized](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/decentralized-finance-defined) without the control of a single government or central bank. A user may have unrestricted access to their coins, but they also have full responsibility for keeping them safe. **Accessibility** ![Infographic explaining crypto is easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-7.png) Crypto can be easily accessible to everyone around the clock, even those without access to traditional banking. Only an internet connection and a crypto wallet are required. **Lower fees and faster time** ![Infographic explaining crypto transactions can be faster and cheaper than traditional finance.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-8.png) [Crypto transactions](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/crypto-vs-cash) can have lower fees and faster transfer times than some traditional bank transactions. For example, crypto can potentially avoid high fees associated with global wires and be accessible within minutes, which is a big difference from a standard 24-to-48 hour bank wire. However day-to-day bank transactions, like depositing checks or withdrawing cash are quick and have no fees. **Transparency** ![Infographic explaining how crypto runs on public blockchain technology.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-9.png) Cryptocurrencies operate on [blockchain](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/blockchain-101) technology that is fully public and immutable, meaning it cannot be changed, manipulated, or deleted, and every transaction can be seen or tracked at any time. **Mainstream support** ![Infographic explaining the mainstream adoptions of cryptocurrency.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-10.png) As cryptocurrencies grow in popularity, mainstream financial institutions and businesses have begun to show interest by offering and/or accepting [cryptocurrencies](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/crypto-in-the-real-world). However, unlike traditional finance that has been around for 300+ years, cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy phase and their future remains uncertain. **High return potential** ![Infographic explaining the potential high return cryptocurrencies may yield.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-11.png) Although cryptocurrencies are [highly volatile](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/bitcoin-price "highly volatile"), they have also yielded high returns in the past depending on when purchased. But it’s important to understand that past performance never guarantees or suggests future results. ![](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/interactives/crypto-did-you-now-2014-21_large-promo-background.png) ### Did you know? Smart contracts, like those built on Ethereum, will execute automatically when outlined conditions are met. ### The bottom line **Not all coins or platforms are created equal.** Crypto is a new, highly volatile asset class, and you need to be comfortable with the risks before taking action. [Educate yourself thoroughly](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/how-to-learn-about-cryptocurrency) before deciding and only invest if you are prepared to lose the entire investment. ## Trade with Fidelity Crypto® Buy, sell, and transfer crypto in the same app where you trade stocks and ETFs.

Crypto risks and potential benefits to consider. ### Risks and benefits of cryptocurrency There are both [risks and benefits](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/investing-in-bitcoin) associated with cryptocurrencies. It’s crucial to educate yourself before deciding to determine if you’re comfortable with the risks. Here are a few considerations to get you started—note, this is not a full list. ### Risks of cryptocurrencies **Volatility** ![Infographic explaining cryptocurrency is volatile and crypto price goes up and down.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-2.png) The price of crypto has proven to be extremely [volatile](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/bitcoin-price), meaning it changes quickly and frequently showing high highs and low lows. While trends can change, there are many factors that contribute to the price [fluctuation](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/what-makes-crypto-go-up-and-down). **Regulatory uncertainties** ![Infographic explaining crypto regulations are still new.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-3.png) Government regulations around crypto are constantly evolving and may differ based on where you live. Regulations could impact how you use or access your crypto, which can cause volatility and uncertainty. But since crypto is still new, it may take time for policymakers to establish clear, consistent guidelines. **Securities and scams** ![Infographic explaining some cryptocurrency networks could be a higher scam risk.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-4.png) Not all cryptocurrencies or trading platforms are created equal. Some platforms are more secure than others, and some newer coins could be a higher scam risk than those more established. There is also no protection or insurance for lost or stolen cryptocurrencies, so always [research thoroughly](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/evaluate-cryptocurrencies) before taking action. **Technical** ![Infographic explaining how to store cryptocurrency and how to keep cryptocurrency safe.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-5.png) There are two main ways to [store your crypto](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/non-custodial-wallets-vs-custodial-wallets): privately in a non-custodial wallet on a personal device, like an app on your phone or laptop or in a cold storage wallet, or using a third-party custodian, like Fidelity Digital Assets® who offers Fidelity Crypto®. When storing privately, you are solely responsible for the safety and security of your crypto. If you lose your private key, your hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts your [wallet](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/crypto-wallet), you may lose your funds entirely. ### Benefits of cryptocurrencies **Independence** ![Infographic explaining crypto is independent because of decentralization.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-6.png) Cryptocurrencies were designed to be [decentralized](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/decentralized-finance-defined) without the control of a single government or central bank. A user may have unrestricted access to their coins, but they also have full responsibility for keeping them safe. **Accessibility** ![Infographic explaining crypto is easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-7.png) Crypto can be easily accessible to everyone around the clock, even those without access to traditional banking. Only an internet connection and a crypto wallet are required. **Lower fees and faster time** ![Infographic explaining crypto transactions can be faster and cheaper than traditional finance.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-8.png) [Crypto transactions](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/crypto-vs-cash) can have lower fees and faster transfer times than some traditional bank transactions. For example, crypto can potentially avoid high fees associated with global wires and be accessible within minutes, which is a big difference from a standard 24-to-48 hour bank wire. However day-to-day bank transactions, like depositing checks or withdrawing cash are quick and have no fees. **Transparency** ![Infographic explaining how crypto runs on public blockchain technology.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-9.png) Cryptocurrencies operate on [blockchain](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/blockchain-101) technology that is fully public and immutable, meaning it cannot be changed, manipulated, or deleted, and every transaction can be seen or tracked at any time. **Mainstream support** ![Infographic explaining the mainstream adoptions of cryptocurrency.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-10.png) As cryptocurrencies grow in popularity, mainstream financial institutions and businesses have begun to show interest by offering and/or accepting [cryptocurrencies](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/crypto/crypto-in-the-real-world). However, unlike traditional finance that has been around for 300+ years, cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy phase and their future remains uncertain. **High return potential** ![Infographic explaining the potential high return cryptocurrencies may yield.](https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/600_Fidelity_Com_English/images/learning-center/charts-and-graphics/600-Crypto-Risks-and-Benefits-Illustration-11.png) Although cryptocurrencies are [highly volatile](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/bitcoin-price "highly volatile"), they have also yielded high returns in the past depending on when purchased. But it’s important to understand that past performance never guarantees or suggests future results. ### The bottom line **Not all coins or platforms are created equal.** Crypto is a new, highly volatile asset class, and you need to be comfortable with the risks before taking action. [Educate yourself thoroughly](https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/how-to-learn-about-cryptocurrency) before deciding and only invest if you are prepared to lose the entire investment.
