Hashnote Management LLC is a member of NFA and is subject to NFA's regulatory oversight and examinations. Hashnote Management LLC has engaged or may engage in underlying or spot virtual currency transactions in a commodity pool. Although NFA has jurisdiction over Hashnote Management LLC and its commodity pools, you should be aware that NFA does not have regulatory oversight authority for underlying or spot market virtual currency products or transactions or virtual currency exchanges, custodians, or markets. You should also be aware that given certain material characteristics of these products, including lack of a centralized pricing source and the opaque nature of the virtual currency market, there currently is no sound or acceptable practice for NFA to adequately verify the ownership and control of a virtual currency or the valuation attributed to a virtual currency by Hashnote Management LLC.
