The controversy of how you save more by converting or selling in spot, here I explain why spot is better. Let's compare Convert vs Sell in Spot on Binance using your example of changing $2000 in BTC to USDT, focused on which one charges you less:
1. Convert
It does not show a direct commission, but it gives you a less favorable price.
Binance earns with the "spread," which can be between 0.1% to 0.5% or more in volatile markets.
Realistic example:
Real BTC/USDT price: 60,000
Price in Convert: 59,800 (spread of 0.33%)
You receive: 2000 / 59,800 = 0.03345 BTC
In that case, you lose about $6–10 due to the spread.
2. Sell in Spot (Market)
It charges you a fixed commission of 0.1% (or less if you use BNB to pay).
You use a market or limit order (to have better control of the price).
Example:
You sell BTC at the real price of 60,000
You receive: 0.03333 BTC × 60,000 = $2000
Commission: 0.1% = $
Conclusion:
Selling in Spot charges you less commission in most cases.
Converting is easier, but the price is a bit worse, so it costs you more without you realizing it. follow me for more information and to value the information give it a like, thank you $BTC

Not all stablecoins are the same, even though they are often grouped together. There are 3 key types:
1. Fiat-backed (like USDT or USDC) 🏦: supposedly have real backing in dollars in banks.
2. Crypto-collateralized (like DAI) 🔐: use other cryptos as collateral. More decentralized, but also more volatile.
3. Algorithmic (like Terra/LUNA) ⚙️: are kept “stable” with algorithms… until they stop being so.
What are they for? To preserve value without leaving the crypto world, trade with less volatility 📉, and even pay for things 🛒. But beware! ⚠️ not all are equally safe or transparent.
Which one do you use? 🤔 Do you have a favorite or are you afraid of them? I’m listening

Three financial giants from Abu Dhabi —the sovereign fund (ADQ), the largest bank in the country (FAB), and the conglomerate (IHC)— announced the launch of a new stablecoin backed by the dirham (AED). The currency will be fully regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE and will be issued on the ADI blockchain.

What is EigenLayer and why is it on everyone's lips? ✨
In the crypto world, everything moves at a thousand miles an hour ⚡, and staking is stepping up its game too! EigenLayer is a restaking platform built on Ethereum, allowing you to "restake" your already validated ETH, providing extra security to other projects and earning additional rewards 🚀.
How does it change traditional staking? While common staking only protects Ethereum, EigenLayer secures a bunch of new protocols using your same ETH. More yields, more opportunities! 📈
Why is everyone talking about this now? Because its highly anticipated airdrop is coming 🎁, and those who have participated could receive free tokens very soon. Additionally, it is revolutionizing the way we understand security in blockchain 🔥.

🧉 CriptoConMate | What are Bitcoin ETFs and why are they making waves? 🧉
🎯 Mini explanation in short mate:
An ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is like a "package" that represents an asset, in this case Bitcoin, but you can buy and sell it on the stock market, without having to move crypto from wallets.
⚡ Why are Bitcoin ETFs so important?
They open the door for large investors and funds to invest money legally and easily.
They generate more demand → Price increases (when there are more buyers, you know what happens 😉).
They reduce long-term volatility (because big money tends to be more patient).
💥 Fun fact:
So far this week, Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated over $3 billion in inflows. A true rain of dollars! 🌧️💸
