• The information provided is for general education and information purposes only. No statement provided should be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell a security, future, financial instrument, investment fund, or other investment product (collectively, a “financial product”), or to provide investment advice.
• In particular, the inclusion of a security or other instrument within an index is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold that security or any other instrument, nor should it be considered investment advice.
• Nothing in the information provided should be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell any financial product in any jurisdiction where the offer or solicitation would be unlawful under the laws of that jurisdiction.
• Cboe and/or any Cboe Company, including Cboe Digital Exchange, LLC (“Cboe Digital Exchange”) and Cboe Clear Digital, LLC (“Cboe Clear Digital”) (collectively, “Cboe Digital”), does not undertake to provide you with trading advice or any advice, recommendation, or representation regarding the suitability, profitability or appropriateness for you of any investment, financial product, investment strategy, third-party product or service, or expertise regarding trading in a financial product.

• Brokerage firms may require customers to post higher margins than any minimum margins specified.

• Hypothetical scenarios are provided for illustrative purposes only. The actual performance of digital assets and financial products can differ significantly from the performance of a hypothetical scenario due to execution timing, market disruptions, lack of liquidity, brokerage expenses, transaction costs, tax consequences, and other considerations that may not be applicable to the hypothetical scenario.
• Supporting documentation for statements, comparisons, statistics, or other technical data provided is available by contacting Cboe at www.cboe.com/Contact.
