  One potential security risk of using Bluetooth in cryptocurrency transactions is the possibility of unauthorized access to the Bluetooth connection. Hackers may attempt to intercept the Bluetooth signal and gain access to sensitive transaction information. This can lead to unauthorized transactions and financial loss for the user. It is important to ensure that Bluetooth connections are secure and encrypted to minimize this risk.

  Another security risk is the potential for Bluetooth pairing attacks. Hackers can attempt to pair their own device with the user's Bluetooth-enabled device without their knowledge. Once paired, the hacker can gain access to the cryptocurrency wallet and make unauthorized transactions. Users should always be cautious when pairing their devices and ensure that they are only connecting to trusted and secure devices.
