Risks in Crypto Investing & How Eden Mitigates Them

The world of cryptocurrency offers exciting opportunities for high yields, but it’s no secret that it comes with a unique set of risks. At Eden Investments, we believe that transparency is the cornerstone of trust. Acknowledging these risks and explaining how we manage them is fundamental to our mission.

Here’s a look at the common risks in the crypto space and the specific, managed approach Eden takes to protect our clients' capital.

Understanding the Common Risks

Investing directly in crypto can be daunting for a reason. Here are some of the primary challenges:

• Extreme Market Volatility: Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are famous for their dramatic price swings. This volatility can lead to significant and rapid losses.   

• Platform & Counterparty Risk: The crypto world relies on exchanges and lending platforms. These platforms can face issues like insolvency, hacking, or regulatory shutdowns, which could put user funds at risk.   

• Technical & Smart Contract Risk: Decentralized Finance (DeFi) runs on automated programs called smart contracts. While powerful, this code can have hidden bugs or vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit, potentially leading to a total loss of funds.   

• Complexity and User Error: Managing your own crypto involves securing private keys, navigating complex interfaces, and avoiding sophisticated scams. A single mistake can result in irreversible losses.

The Eden Approach: A Curated and Managed Strategy

Our entire model is built to act as your professional guide and shield through this complex landscape. We don't just give you access; we actively manage the risks on your behalf.

1. Mitigating Market Volatility Instead of speculating on volatile assets, our core products, like Eden Fixed Income, are based on stablecoins (USDT). These assets are pegged to the U.S. dollar and are designed to maintain a stable value, insulating your principal investment from the wild market swings of other cryptocurrencies. For our products that do involve more dynamic assets, like Eden Balanced Growth, we employ defined-risk options strategies, not simple buy-and-hold speculation.   

2. Mitigating Platform Risk We don't partner with just any platform. The Eden team conducts rigorous due diligence, selecting only large, established, and reputable platforms like Nexo and Bybit to execute our strategies. We look for platforms with a strong track record, robust security measures, and transparent operations. As our website states, we prioritize using audited and insured protocols where possible to minimize security risks.   

3. Mitigating Technical & Smart Contract Risk The world of DeFi is vast and filled with protocols of varying quality. Our team does the homework for you. For products like our Eden DeFi Options Income, we carefully select and utilize protocols like Thetanuts Finance, which are well-established and have undergone third-party audits. By curating the best-in-class tools, we significantly reduce the risk of you falling victim to a flawed or malicious smart contract.   

4. Eliminating User Complexity and Error With Eden Investments, you never have to worry about managing a crypto wallet, securing a seed phrase, or interacting directly with a complex DeFi protocol. We handle all the technical heavy lifting. This custodial approach during our pilot phase is designed for simplicity and trust, removing the single largest point of failure for most new investors: user error.
