Division of Finance 200 E. Gaines StreetTallahassee, FL 32399-0376Toll-Free Number: 1-800-848-3792NOTICE: By the Florida Office of Financial Regulation

By granting Circle a license, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation is not endorsing the use of digital or virtual currencies.

U.S. currency is legal tender backed by the U.S. government. Digital and virtual currencies are not issued or backed by the U.S. government, or related in any way to U.S. currency, and have fewer regulatory protections. The value of digital and virtual currencies is derived from supply and demand in the global marketplace which can rise or fall independently of any fiat (government) currency. Holding digital and virtual currencies carries exchange rate and other types of risk. Potential users of digital or virtual currencies, including but not limited to Bitcoin, should be forewarned of a possible financial loss at the time that such currencies are exchanged for fiat currency due to an unfavorable exchange rate. A favorable exchange rate at the time of exchange can result in a tax liability. Please consult your tax advisor regarding any tax consequences associated with your holding or use of digital or virtual currencies.

3. Transactions in virtual currency may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;
4. Some virtual currency transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transaction;

6. There is no assurance that a person who accepts a virtual currency as payment today will continue to do so in the future;
7. The volatility and unpredictability of the price of virtual currency relative to fiat currency may result in significant loss over a short period of time;
8. The nature of virtual currency may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber attack;
9. The nature of virtual currency means that any technological difficulties experienced by Circle may prevent the access or use of a customer's virtual currency; and
10. Any bond or trust account maintained by Circle for the benefit of its customers may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by customers.

Additionally, the following further disclosures are applicable to Circle’s virtual currency customers:
