$USDC I have used this currency to carry out quite a few transactions on Alpha, however, there are a few points I find unconvincing. When buying, the process is usually quite fast, but when the market rises and I want to sell to preserve my current capital, the liquidity time is quite slow, even resulting in system hangs for a relatively long time. Only when the price drops does it return the purchased currency. That is why I often lose money every time I complete tasks to earn Alpha points.
I hope that in the upcoming updates, the exchange will fix this issue.
For now, I mainly use USD to complete tasks to earn points due to faster liquidity + better price updates.
