"Cryptocurrency is a digital representation of value that is not legal tender, is not backed by the government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections. Cryptocurrency markets are volatile and the prices of cryptocurrency can increase or decrease significantly in a very short period of time. Venmo cannot guarantee that any purchaser of cryptocurrency will not lose money.— Excerpt from Venmo's Venmo User Agreement
