Disclaimer

1. Purpose of the website

The content published on bitcoinhyper.uk is provided for informational, educational and explanatory purposes only. It does not constitute financial, investment, tax or legal advice, nor a solicitation of public savings, a personalised recommendation, an offer or the promotion of financial products within the meaning of the applicable Italian and European legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA).

The website is an independent editorial knowledge base: a collection of technical analyses, comparative briefings, glossaries and regulatory documents, built around the due diligence method applied in the work by Michele Stefanelli Due Diligence of a Layer 2 – The Bitcoin Hyper Case (Volume I, first English edition, July 2026).

2. Risks of crypto-assets

Crypto-assets — including the $HYPER token — are highly speculative, high-risk instruments, characterised in particular by the following risk profiles:

• Extreme volatility, with the possibility of a total loss of the capital invested, even over very short time horizons
• Liquidity risk, namely the inability to sell the token at reference prices or, in extreme cases, to sell it at all
• Technology risk: smart contract vulnerabilities, rollup bugs, bridge attacks and virtual machine crashes
• Custody risk: a bridge initially operating with centralised or federated custody, a sequencer that is centralised from the outset, and a forced exit mechanism still under development
• Regulatory risk: the possible classification of the token as a financial instrument, restrictions or prohibitions in certain jurisdictions, and the absence of authorisation to carry on activities that, under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, are reserved for crypto-asset service providers
• Counterparty risk: the limited transparency of the issuer, the use of a professional registered agent, and a director who cannot be verified through independent public sources
• Execution risk: a possible mismatch between marketing promises and the documented technical specification, and a Mainnet-launch timeline that has not been publicly defined with specific dates

Readers are encouraged to carry out their own independent research and, where necessary, to consult an Independent Financial Adviser entered in the register of independent financial advisers held by the OCF, or another suitably qualified professional.

3. Warnings from the competent authorities

5. Accuracy of the information

The information published is verified as at the date of publication of each piece of content.

Every blog post states its date of publication and, where relevant, the date of its most recent review.

Readers who notice errors, typographical mistakes or information requiring an update are kindly asked to notify us through the contact details indicated in point 8.

6. Applicable regulatory framework

The website is operated by Michele Stefanelli, a natural person resident in Italy, and was established as an independent editorial project. It is maintained in accordance with the applicable Italian and European regulatory framework, and in particular:

• Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) on the processing of personal data — see the Privacy Policy →
• Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) on markets in crypto-assets
• Italian Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (TUF) and the implementing regulations of Consob on investment services and financial promotion
• the OAM regime, which applies to entities operating in the field of virtual currencies — this does not concern the present website, which does not carry out the custody, exchange or intermediation of crypto-assets

The website does not offer personalised financial advice, investment services, the intermediation of crypto-assets, or any CASP service regulated under MiCA. The author’s independent financial advisory activity, which falls within the scope of his registration in the register of independent financial advisers held by the OCF, is carried out separately through the institutional MS Studio website (michelestefanelli.com →). bitcoinhyper.uk is an editorial project of MS Digital Asset Academy, the editorial division of MS Studio specialising in digital assets.
