DePIN coins are stored in cryptocurrency wallets, with various options available depending on your preferred balance between convenience and security. When you purchase DePIN on Kraken, a free crypto wallet is automatically created for you.
For enhanced security, it's recommended to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and transfer your funds to a non-custodial wallet, such as Kraken Wallet, where you have full control of your private keys.
Investing in any kind of cryptocurrency involves a number of associated risks. DePIN coins are no different.
Below are some of the main risks to be aware of, however each person should conduct their own rigorous due diligence before making any kind of investment.
- Volatility Risk: Cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate dramatically in short periods, leading to significant gains or losses.
- Regulatory Risk: Changing regulations or bans in certain countries can impact the value or legality of crypto investments.
- Security Risk: Hacks, phishing attacks, and fraud can result in the loss of funds if proper precautions aren’t taken.
- Market Liquidity Risk: Low liquidity can make it difficult to buy or sell assets at your desired price.
- Operational Risk: Technical issues, exchange outages, or wallet malfunctions can prevent access to funds.
- Scam Risk: Fraudulent projects or Ponzi schemes can lead to complete loss of investment.
- Technological Risk: Bugs or failures in blockchain technology could undermine a cryptocurrency’s functionality or value.
- Counterparty Risk: If a crypto exchange or platform goes bankrupt or gets hacked, you may lose access to your funds.
- Smart Contract Risk: Vulnerabilities or bugs in smart contracts can be exploited, leading to loss of funds or contract failure.
Timing the crypto market can be extremely difficult, which is why many people prefer to use a dollar-cost averaging strategy instead. At Kraken we offer Recurring Buys, an innovative feature that lets you automatically accumulate your favorite DePIN coins over time without needing to worry about timing the market.
Establishing a recurring buy will result in your card being charged at the frequency you have selected until cancelled. You may cancel at any time. There is no guarantee that recurring buy orders will execute at prices favourable to manual orders.
