Trading in cryptocurrencies is not suitable for all investors and can result in substantial losses, including most if not all of your investment. Cryptocurrencies carry significant risks, including highly volatile markets, inconsistent valuations, cybersecurity events, potential market manipulation, and relatively high fees. Additionally, cryptocurrency exchanges and other intermediaries are not subject to the same regulatory scrutiny as securities and futures exchanges, nor are cryptocurrency accounts protected by SIPC or the FDIC. Ainvest Crypto nor Apex Crypto is a member orFINRA. Crypto execution and custody services are provided by Apex Crypto LLC(NMLS ID 1828849) through partnerships between Ainvest Crypto, Ainvest Financial and Apex Crypto. Cryptocurrency trading is also offered through an account with Apex Crypto. Please make sure you do your research and fully understand the risks and rewards of trading crypto to make sure it’s the right choice for you.

Check the background of Ainvest Financial Inc on FINRA’s BrokerCheck.

‍Ainvest Financial Inc is a member of FINRA and SIPC.

SIPC protects against the loss of cash and securities – such as stocks and bonds – held by a customer at a financially-troubled SIPC-member brokerage firm. The limit of SIPC protection is $500,000, which includes a $250,000 limit for cash. SIPC only protects the custody function of the broker-dealer, which means that SIPC works to restore to customers the securities and money that are in their accounts when the brokerage firm liquidation begins. SIPC does not protect against the decline in value of your securities. SIPC does not protect individuals who are sold worthless stocks and other securities. SIPC does not cover claims against a broker for bad investment advice or recommending inappropriate investments.

Our clearing firm Apex Clearing Corp has purchased an additional insurance policy. The coverage limits provide protection for securities and cash up to an aggregate of $150 million, subject to maximum limits of $37.5 million for any one customer’s securities and $900,000 for any one customer’s cash. Similar to SIPC protection, this additional insurance does not protect against a loss in the market value of securities.
