Complementing the previous publication, I share this successful trade with you.

Today was a good day.

Look how interesting this chart of the last three months is. I started buying $FET in mid-February, made several small purchases and had an interesting average price in the meantime, but I decided to sell today after reaching 0.900. Why did I sell? I will explain below my reasons:

1) I usually keep at least 5% cash as an opportunity reserve. A day when news can negatively impact a project I believe in, and then I can buy "at a discount".
2) I already had a reserve for opportunities, usually in USDT and Earn, but unfortunately, I needed to withdraw to cover excess expenses in the renovation of my apartment, so, basically, it was to create a cash reserve thinking about a possible correction of $FET itself.

If there is a good correction I can return "at a discount" or wait for a new opportunity, now more calmly since I have cash. It is distressing to have a bad day and see everything falling and not be able to buy.

Guys, did you understand the proposal of this activity?

For those who didn't understand, I will explain. All these words are in the blog post of the week from Binance. They provide the link below the word search, and the idea is to "force" you to read the text and absorb the content they want to disseminate.

Anyway, even so, if you don't want to read the text, here are the words of the week.

The $USDC (USD Coin) is one of the most widely used stablecoins in the crypto ecosystem, being fully backed by US dollars and regulated by financial institutions in the United States.

In 2025, USDC stands out for its transparency, with regular audits ensuring a 1:1 equivalence between issued tokens and reserves in fiat currency.

Created by Circle in partnership with Coinbase, the stablecoin is widely used on DeFi platforms, centralized exchanges, and for global payments. Its integration with blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Avalanche enhances its accessibility and speed.

USDC represents a bridge between the traditional financial system and the crypto universe, facilitating stable, fast, and secure transfers.

A hashtag #StablecoinPayments has gained momentum in 2025 as the use of stablecoins becomes increasingly common for daily payments and international transactions.

With their parity to fiat currencies, such as the dollar or the euro, these cryptocurrencies offer stability of value, eliminating the typical volatility of crypto assets.

Companies like Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal are already integrating stablecoins into their platforms, enabling almost instant payments with reduced fees.

Countries like the United Arab Emirates and Singapore are also developing regulations favorable to the sector.

As the infrastructure advances, #StablecoinPayments s are consolidating as an efficient solution for the digital financial future.

Solana (SOL) continues to stand out in 2025 as one of the leading high-performance blockchains.

Designed to solve the scalability issues that affect other networks, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, Solana is capable of processing up to 65,000 transactions per second with finality in approximately 0.4 seconds, thanks to its unique architecture based on the concept of "Proof of History".

Currently, the price of SOL hovers around $148.70, with a market capitalization of approximately $77 billion. Analysts project that the value of SOL could reach between $178 and $219 by December 2025, with potential returns exceeding 50%.

The Solana ecosystem continues to grow, highlighting the expansion of decentralized exchanges such as Jupiter, Meteora, and Raydium, as well as the launch of popular memecoins like TRUMP and PENGU.

Additionally, the proposal to include SOL in the strategic cryptocurrency reserve of the U.S., announced by President Donald Trump, reinforces the institutional legitimacy of the asset.

With its combination of speed, low cost, and growing institutional adoption, Solana solidifies itself as one of the most promising platforms in the current crypto landscape.

A hashtag #AirdropSafetyGuide has become increasingly relevant amid the popularization of airdrops in the crypto ecosystem. With thousands of users seeking free tokens, the risks of scams, phishing, and interactions with malicious contracts also increase.

The #AirdropSafetyGuide advises users to take essential precautions, such as using secondary wallets for interactions, verifying official links, avoiding connecting wallets to suspicious sites, and being wary of promises of guaranteed profits.

Additionally, tools like Revoke.cash and contract scanners help monitor permissions and prevent losses.

Participating in airdrops can be profitable, but security should be a priority to preserve the acquired assets.

A hashtag #AltcoinETFsPostponed gained prominence in April 2025, after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed decisions on various altcoin ETFs. Among those affected are funds linked to XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL).

The new review dates have been set for mid-June, with final decisions expected by October 2025.

Analysts interpret these delays as part of the SEC's standard regulatory process, not necessarily indicating rejection. The agency often extends deadlines to fully assess proposals and ensure compliance with investor protection regulations.

Meanwhile, investors see a strategic window to consider investments in altcoins ahead of possible ETF approvals, which could boost liquidity and appreciation of these assets.

The SEC's decision reflects the growing institutional attention to the cryptocurrency market and the search for innovative financial products that meet the demand for exposure to digital assets.

A hashtag #Trump100Days gained prominence in April 2025, marking the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second term. During this period, the president signed 143 executive orders, focusing on immigration policies, cuts to federal spending, and an increase in executive power.

Notable measures include a 94% reduction in illegal crossings at the border, over 100,000 deportations, and the signing of the Laken Riley Act, which toughens penalties for illegal immigrants involved in crimes.

Trump also implemented tariffs on imports, aiming to protect domestic industry, but faced criticism due to the negative impact on the economy and rising consumer prices.

Additionally, his administration dissolved agencies such as the Department of Education and USAID, and created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, with the goal of reducing public spending.

Despite support among his followers, Trump's actions generated controversies and legal challenges, with over 255 lawsuits contesting his policies.

The initial period of his second term reflects an aggressive approach to reconfigure the government structure and implement significant changes in both domestic and foreign policy of the United States.

What is your sentiment regarding Bitcoin?

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency in the world, is experiencing a moment of prominence in 2025.

After the halving that occurred in April, which halved the reward for mined blocks, BTC has experienced a price increase driven by reduced supply and strong institutional demand.

Bitcoin ETFs in the US continue to attract billions in capital, and new initiatives, such as the creation of state reserves (like in Arizona), reinforce its legitimacy as a store of value.

Despite volatility and regulatory challenges, market sentiment remains optimistic, with projections pointing to new records this year. BTC consolidates its role as "digital gold" in the modern era.#

A hashtag #AirdropStepByStep has gained traction among beginners and veterans in the crypto world who seek to take advantage of the wave of airdrops in a clear and efficient manner.

These step-by-step guides explain, in an educational way, how to qualify for token distributions — from creating a compatible wallet, through interacting with dApps on networks like Arbitrum, Starknet, or Base, to checking eligibility at the time of launch.

The growing popularity of airdrops as a marketing and community distribution tool has made it essential to understand the processes securely.

With #AirdropStepByStep, anyone can participate with confidence and increase their chances of receiving valuable rewards.

A hashtag #AbuDhabiStablecoin gained prominence in April 2025 with the announcement of a new stablecoin backed by the United Arab Emirates dirham (AED).

The initiative is the result of a partnership between the sovereign fund ADQ, the conglomerate International Holding Company (IHC), and the First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the largest bank in the country. The stablecoin will be issued by FAB and will operate on the locally developed ADI blockchain, subject to the approval of the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates.

The goal is to modernize digital payments, offering a secure and efficient alternative for everyday and business transactions, both locally and globally.

Additionally, the project aims to integrate emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine-to-machine transactions, positioning Abu Dhabi as a center for innovation in digital assets.

The expectation is that the stablecoin will be launched by the end of 2025, reinforcing the commitment of the United Arab Emirates to digital transformation and leadership in the global financial sector.

A hashtag #ArizonaBTCReserve gained prominence in April 2025, when the state of Arizona took a significant step towards the institutional adoption of Bitcoin.

The state legislature approved bills SB1025 and SB1373, authorizing the state treasury to invest up to 10% of public funds — approximately US$ 3.14 billion — in digital assets such as Bitcoin and NFTs.

Additionally, the creation of a Strategic Digital Assets Fund was proposed to manage cryptocurrencies acquired or seized, with on-chain auditing and strict risk controls.

The measure awaits the signature of Governor Katie Hobbs, who had previously conditioned the approval of bills on resolving budgetary issues related to assistance for people with disabilities.

With the recent resolution of this impasse, there is an expectation that the governor will approve the initiative, positioning Arizona as the first U.S. state to incorporate Bitcoin into its public financial strategy.

In April 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) shows a remarkable recovery, trading above $94,000 after reaching lows of $76,000 at the beginning of the month.

This movement is driven by factors such as the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S. and increasing institutional adoption, including ETFs and pension funds.

Analysts at Standard Chartered project that BTC could reach $120,000 in the second quarter and even $200,000 by the end of the year.

Despite volatility, the favorable regulatory environment and ongoing interest from large investors suggest a sustained upward trend for Bitcoin in the long term.

A hashtag #AirdropFinderGuide has gained prominence among cryptocurrency enthusiasts looking for opportunities to acquire tokens for free.

An "airdrop" is a marketing strategy used by blockchain projects to distribute tokens for free to users, usually in exchange for simple actions such as following social media profiles, joining groups on Telegram, or testing decentralized applications.

The #AirdropFinderGuide serves as a valuable resource for identifying and participating in these airdrops, providing information on requirements, rewards, and official links of the projects.

Platforms like CoinMarketCap, DappRadar, and Earnifi are often mentioned as reliable sources for finding active and upcoming airdrops.

It is important, however, to be aware of potential scams and always conduct thorough research before providing personal information or connecting wallets to new projects.

With due caution, airdrops can be an effective way to diversify a cryptocurrency portfolio without an initial financial investment.

A hashtag #XRPETFs gained prominence in April 2025 with the SEC's approval for the launch of three XRP futures ETFs by ProShares, marking a significant advance in the integration of the cryptocurrency into traditional financial markets.

The products include the Ultra XRP ETF (2x leverage), the Short XRP ETF (short position), and the Ultra Short XRP ETF (-2x leverage), offering investors various strategies for exposure to XRP through futures contracts.

This movement occurs after the resolution of the legal process between Ripple and the SEC, which previously limited the development of financial products based on XRP. The expectation is that these ETFs will attract significant institutional investments, boosting the liquidity and legitimacy of the asset.

Meanwhile, the approval of XRP ETFs in the spot market is still pending in the US, although similar products already exist in other countries, such as Brazil. The introduction of these ETFs represents a milestone for XRP, signaling its maturation and growth potential in the crypto ecosystem.

A hashtag #TrumpTaxCuts returned to the center of political and economic debate in 2025, with former President Donald Trump seeking to make permanent the tax cuts implemented in 2017.

The current proposal includes the elimination of taxes on tips, Social Security benefits, and overtime earnings, aiming to benefit workers with an annual income below US$ 200 thousand.

However, experts warn that these measures could increase the fiscal deficit by up to US$ 9 trillion in the next decade, if not accompanied by significant cuts in social programs like Medicaid.

Additionally, the elimination of taxes on Social Security could compromise the long-term sustainability of the system, accelerating the depletion of reserve funds. While the Trump administration pushes for a quick approval in Congress, the proposal faces resistance from both Democrats and Republicans concerned about the fiscal and social implications of the changes.

The discussion about tax cuts reflects the complex choices between immediate economic stimulus and long-term fiscal responsibility.

A hashtag #Vaulta has gained prominence in discussions about the future of decentralized finance.

Previously known as EOS, the network underwent a significant transformation, rebranding itself as Vaulta and directing its focus towards the Web3 Banking sector.

With a robust infrastructure, Vaulta offers transaction finalization in 1 second and native integration with Bitcoin through exSat, enabling BTC yields and staking.

Additionally, the network is prepared to support high-performance financial applications, aiming to cater to both institutions and individual users.

The restructuring seeks to position Vaulta as a central platform in the digital financial ecosystem, promoting innovative and accessible solutions for the new era of finance.

How is your investment portfolio?

Take a look at my portfolio and take the opportunity to reflect on your cryptocurrency holdings.

The cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, and some projects stand out as promising for the coming years.

In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, assets like Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), and Polygon (MATIC) are gaining strength thanks to their innovations in scalability, interoperability, and applications in DeFi and artificial intelligence.

However, the sector remains highly volatile, which reinforces the importance of maintaining a diversified portfolio.

Investing in different cryptocurrencies reduces risks, protects against unexpected losses, and increases the chances of capturing growth opportunities across various market segments.

Strategy and caution are key to long-term success.

Shall we talk about Ethereum?

The $ETH faces a mixed scenario in 2025, with positive factors and challenges that influence its long-term prospects. On one hand, technological advancements, such as the "Pectra" upgrade expected this year, promise improvements in the scalability and efficiency of the network.

In addition, the approval of Ethereum ETFs in the United States has attracted significant institutional investments, reinforcing its legitimacy in the financial market.

However, Ethereum also faces relevant challenges. The increasing competition from Layer 2 solutions has diverted part of the value and transaction revenue.

Moreover, the focus of institutional investors on Bitcoin, driven by the ETFs, puts pressure on ETH.

Projections for the price of Ethereum by 2030 vary widely, ranging from $7,300 to $25,000, depending on institutional adoption, technological innovations, and the regulatory environment.

In summary, the future of Ethereum will depend on its ability to innovate and maintain its relevance in the face of increasing competition in the crypto ecosystem.
