About Ethereum Classic

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a cryptocurrency that represents the original, unaltered version of the Ethereum blockchain. It emerged as a result of a split in the Ethereum community, prioritizing immutability and the principle that blockchain records should remain unchanged. Powered by Proof-of-Work (PoW) technology, ETC is secured by miners who validate transactions and maintain the network's integrity. As a decentralized platform, Ethereum Classic supports smart contracts, enabling developers to build applications that run autonomously without intermediaries. ETC is often used for peer-to-peer transactions, decentralized finance (DeFi), and as a store of value. Its commitment to preserving the original ethos of blockchain makes it a unique choice for those seeking reliability and transparency in the crypto space.

Disclosures

Ethereum Classic risk

This material is for informational purposes only and is not exhaustive of all risks associated with trading Ethereum Classic. All crypto assets are risky, there are general risks in investing in Ethereum Classic. These include volatility risk, liquidity risk, demand risk, forking risk, cryptography risk, regulatory risk, concentration risk & cyber security risk. This is not intended to provide (i) investment advice or an investment recommendation; (ii) an offer or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold crypto assets; or (iii) financial, accounting, legal or tax advice. Profits may be subject to capital gains tax. You should carefully consider whether trading or holding crypto assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. Please review the Risk Summary for additional information.

Investment Risk

The performance of most crypto assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto assets.

Lack of Protections

Crypto assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto asset investments.

Liquidity Risk

There is no guarantee that investments in crypto assets can be easily sold at any given time.

Complexity

Investments in crypto assets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment. You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Concentration Risk

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on anyone to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.

Five questions to ask yourself

  1. Am I comfortable with the level of risk? Can I afford to lose my money?
  2. Do I understand the investment and could I get my money out easily?
  3. Are my investments regulated?
  4. Am I protected if the investment provider or my adviser goes out of business?
  5. Should I get financial advice?

There is no staking infrastructure on Ethereum Classic as the blockchain favors a mining-based system for validating transactions. Hence, it is only possible to stake ETC if a third-party solution offers staking or yield-generating services for ETC. For instance, you can earn interest when you subscribe to the ETC staking plans on OKX Earn, available in both flexible and fixed terms.

Unlike Ethereum, which has no supply limit, ETC supply is limited to 210.7 million tokens. This is because ETC has adopted a deflationary approach where the scarcity of tokens over time is expected to drive up ETC prices.

The emission reduction schedule of ETC initiates after 5 million blocks have been added to the blockchain. The upcoming block reward reduction will occur sometime in the third quarter of 2024.
