Cryptocurrency and Stablecoin Risks

FXFunds project materials describe USDT payments on TON, Ethereum (ERC20) and Tron (TRC20). This was not confirmed on publicly readable official pages at the last check (2026-10-19), so confirm the supported tokens and networks on the official deposit page before sending funds (register entry REG-09).

Transfers Are Generally Irreversible

Once a blockchain transaction is confirmed, it usually cannot be cancelled or reversed. A mistake in the address, network or amount may mean the funds cannot be recovered.

Choose the Right Network

USDT exists separately on each network. The receiving address and the sending network must match.

Network	Address usually starts with	Fees paid in
Ethereum (ERC20)	`0x`	ETH
Tron (TRC20)	`T`	TRX, or energy and bandwidth
TON	`EQ` or `UQ`	TON

Sending USDT on one network to an address expecting another can result in permanent loss. Some platforms also require a memo or comment for deposits; if one is required and missing, the deposit may not be credited automatically.

Check the Address Carefully

Copy and paste the address, then compare the first and last several characters.
Watch for address poisoning: attackers send tiny transfers from look-alike addresses so that a wrong address appears in your history. Do not copy addresses from your transaction history.
Consider a small test transfer before a large one.

Wallet and Account Security

Never share private keys, seed phrases, passwords or one-time codes with anyone, including people claiming to be support staff.
Legitimate platforms do not need your private key or seed phrase to process a deposit or show a transaction status.
Beware of fake websites, apps and social accounts imitating FXFunds. Type https://fxfunds.com/ yourself.

Stablecoin Risks

Peg risk. A stablecoin aims to stay at US$1 but can trade above or below it. USDT briefly traded below US$1 during market stress in May 2022.
Issuer risk. USDT is issued by Tether. Its value depends on the issuer’s reserves and operations, and the issuer can freeze tokens held at specific addresses.
Redemption. Redeeming USDT directly with the issuer is generally limited to verified customers and subject to minimums and fees; most users rely on exchanges or platforms to convert it.
Network risk. Each network can experience congestion, higher fees or outages that delay transfers.

Confirmations and Timing

A transfer is credited only after the receiving platform sees enough network confirmations. The number required is set by the platform; FXFunds’ requirement was not located publicly. The FXFunds open-source tools use reference defaults of 12 confirmations on Ethereum, 19 on Tron and 1 on TON. These are tool defaults, not platform rules.

Third-Party Providers

Crypto deposits and withdrawals may rely on wallet providers, payment processors, blockchain data services or exchanges. Their outages, errors, fees or failures can affect your transaction.

These open-source FXFunds tools are read-only and never move funds:
