Circletech Labs Corp is not a bank, exchange, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, or investment adviser, and is not registered with the SEC, CFTC, or any other financial regulator. Cabals never holds, custodies, or controls your funds or private keys. All trades are executed and settled entirely on public blockchain networks by decentralized protocols that we do not own or operate. We do not broker orders, act as a counterparty, or take possession of your assets at any time. Nothing in this app is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, and no content, including prices, charts, leaderboards, or other users' trades, is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. Trading involves significant risk, and leveraged trading can result in the rapid loss of your entire deposit. Assets are highly volatile and may lose all value. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.
