What Does the "High Risk" Label Mean?

The "High Risk" label on Pluang means the Pluang Crypto Team has assessed the asset as carrying elevated overall risk, and it is shown purely for information — it does not restrict your ability to buy or sell. Buying, selling, sending, and receiving all remain fully available for a coin labeled "High Risk"; the label does not change what you are allowed to do. It reflects the Pluang Crypto Team's internal review of the asset as a whole, which is distinct from the four criteria used to decide delistings (development and supply/demand, trading volume and liquidity, project activity, and regulatory status). It is also distinct from the "Volatile" label, which specifically flags recent price swings, and from "Low Market Cap", which flags a small market size. A coin can carry "High Risk" on its own or alongside those other labels, because each one reflects a different concern. Use it as context for your own decision — Pluang is signalling elevated risk, not blocking the trade or telling you what to do.

• It is informational, not restrictive. Buying, selling, sending, and receiving all remain fully available for a "High Risk" coin. The label is a risk signal, not a block, pause, or limit on any transaction.
• It comes from the Pluang Crypto Team. The assessment is the Pluang Crypto Team's internal, overall view of the asset's risk — a considered judgment rather than an automated flag off a single metric.
• It is broader than "Volatile". "High Risk" is an overall risk assessment, while "Volatile" specifically flags high recent price fluctuation. A coin can be "High Risk" without being "Volatile", and vice versa.
• It is separate from the delisting criteria. The "High Risk" assessment is distinct from the four criteria Pluang uses to decide delistings, so carrying the label does not, on its own, mean a delisting is coming.
• Labels can stack. A coin can carry "High Risk" together with labels such as "Volatile" or "Low Market Cap", since each one reflects a different specific concern about the same asset.
• The decision stays yours. Pluang surfaces the elevated risk so you can weigh it, but it does not advise whether to buy, hold, or sell — that is your call based on your own risk tolerance.

Q: Can I still buy and sell a coin labeled "High Risk"?
Yes. The "High Risk" label is informational only and does not restrict trading in any way — buying, selling, sending, and receiving all remain fully available. It is there to signal that the Pluang Crypto Team assesses the asset as carrying elevated risk, so you can factor that into your own decision. If a coin were actually restricted from trading, it would carry a different status label such as "Buy Paused", "Trading Paused", or "Delisted" instead.

Q: What's the difference between "High Risk" and "Volatile"?
"High Risk" is the Pluang Crypto Team's overall assessment of the asset's risk, taking a wide view of the coin. "Volatile" is narrower — it specifically flags high recent price fluctuation. Because they track different things, a coin can carry either label independently: it could be "Volatile" without being "High Risk", or "High Risk" without currently being "Volatile". Both are informational and neither one restricts your trading activity.

Q: Who decides which coins get the "High Risk" label?
The Pluang Crypto Team assigns the "High Risk" label based on its internal risk assessment of the asset. It is a considered judgment about the coin's overall risk profile rather than an automatic output from one number. This is also what distinguishes it from labels tied to a specific measurable threshold, such as "Low Market Cap", which is defined by a market value below US$50 million rather than by an overall review.

Q: Does "High Risk" mean a coin will eventually be delisted?
Not necessarily. "High Risk" is a standalone risk flag from the Pluang Crypto Team and does not, by itself, indicate an upcoming delisting. Delistings follow their own separate criteria — risk, liquidity, project activity, and regulatory status — and are announced through the "Delisting Soon" and "Delisted" statuses. A coin can carry the "High Risk" label and remain fully listed and tradeable unless a separate delisting decision is made.

Q: Does the "High Risk" label change the coin's price or fees?
No. The label neither moves the coin's market price nor changes any trading fees — it is purely an informational risk signal. Prices are set by the wider market, and fees follow Pluang's standard schedule regardless of the label. What the label does is give you context about the Pluang Crypto Team's risk view of the asset, so you can make a more informed decision before you transact.
