Q: Wirex DUO fees and APR? 

A: Wirex DUO is a digital currency investment option with a focus on fixed returns. It has the advantage of not having any hidden fees and all returns are calculated based on a fixed Annual Percentage Rate (APR). Your investment amount is locked for the selected term of 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, or 7 days and the reward is calculated based on the APR, invested amount, and term. The reward is paid in one of the two paired digital currencies. For instance, investing 0.5 Bitcoin (BTC) in the 12-hour BTC/USDT DUO with an APR of 200% results in a reward of 0.00137 BTC at expiration, calculated as [0.5] * [12 / (365*24)] * [200%]. The APR remains fixed throughout the term, allowing you to have a clear understanding of your expected return. In conclusion, Wirex DUO is a fee-free investment option with a fixed APR, offering transparency and allowing you to make an informed investment decision. 

Q: Is there any risk involved with Wirex DUO?  

A: The potential risk with Wirex DUO is impermanent loss, which happens if the value of a digital asset decreases after the DUO position has been closed. This risk is not exclusive to DUO and can become permanent if the user sells the cryptocurrency and its value has declined. This type of risk is common in holding cryptocurrency due to its volatility. However, this same volatility also presents opportunities for profit through DUO. To minimize risk, it is recommended to follow a strict money management strategy when making DUO investments
