On Binance, three paths unfold before the trader: Spot, Margin, and Futures.
The Spot market is the realm of ownership — where coins are bought and held, tangible and true. It is steady, ideal for those who believe in time more than timing.
Margin trading lends you the wind — borrowed capital to multiply both gains and risk. With leverage comes peril: profit swells swiftly, but one wrong turn can sink your position.
Futures trading is the arena of speculation. Here, you don’t own the coin — you wager on its rise or fall, using leverage as a blade. Profit is unchained from possession, but so is ruin.
Choose your vessel wisely:
Spot for patience, Margin for courage, Futures for precision.
Each offers power, but demands its price.
Trade not only with ambition — but with clarity, control, and respect for the storm.

#TrumpVsMusk
Great question : a high-profile political-business fallout like Trump vs Musk—even if hypothetical or satirical—can have real effects on investor confidence, especially in today's media-saturated, sentiment-driven markets. Here's how it could play out:
Short-Term Volatility: Investors generally dislike uncertainty, and a public feud between powerful figures like Trump and Musk can create just that. If it spills into:
- Policy threats (e.g. Trump attacking Musk’s businesses),
- Platform disruptions (e.g. Twitter/X being politically targeted)
- Regulatory retaliation? you could see knee-jerk sell-offs, especially in tech and defense/aerospace sectors.
Confidence Erosion in Institutions: when business and politics mix too personally, it may:
- Undermine the perceived independence of markets,
- Create a “rule by tweet” dynamic (which we saw in Trump’s presidency),
- Raise fears about policy being driven by ego, not economics.
This chips away at the credibility of regulatory frameworks that investors rely on.
Opportunity for Speculators, Risk for Long-Term Investors:
While some retail traders might enjoy the volatility for short-term gains (buy the feud, sell the truce), institutional and long-term investors might:
- Shift to safer sectors or geographies,
- Delay capital deployment due to political unpredictability.

My portfolio is currently showing an overall drop of -1.46% over the past week, with a daily loss of -2.14% as of June 5th, 2025. This correction is likely tied to the sharp decline in major cryptocurrencies, especially Ethereum and Bitcoin, which were hit hard by massive liquidations and increased market tension.
Looking at my crypto allocation, it's clear that I’m heavily concentrated in one dominant asset (the blue section), which makes up around 85 to 90% of my total holdings. The two other segments (yellow and light blue) are much smaller, indicating limited diversification. This exposes me more strongly to the volatility of a single asset.
Despite the recent downturn, my portfolio still shows a certain degree of resilience compared to the broader market, suggesting that I may be invested in fundamentally strong projects. However, if my goal is to protect or stabilize my capital, I should consider expanding into other asset classes or less correlated cryptocurrencies.
That said, short-term volatility doesn’t necessarily undermine long-term performance, especially if I stick to a steady and well-managed investment strategy.

Today, June 5th, 2025, Ethereum (ETH) experienced a sharp drop, falling by 7.90% to $2,399.34 — its lowest level since May 18th (morningstar.com). This correction is part of a broader crypto market decline that also affected Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP
Several factors contributed to the downturn. Massive liquidations triggered forced sales of long positions, increasing downward pressure. In addition, tensions between high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump added to market uncertainty. Finally, whale investors dumped large volumes of crypto, flooding the market with supply.
Despite the drop, there are still positive signs. Institutional investors such as Consensys have accumulated over 300,000 ETH—worth around $778 million—since early June. This accumulation reflects ongoing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential.
Technically, Ethereum is currently in a demand zone between $2,378 and $2,454, providing potential support. However, indicators such as the RSI and MACD show short-term bearish momentum, with a possible move down to $2,420 if selling pressure persists.
In summary, while Ethereum faced a significant dip today, its fundamentals remain solid—supported by institutional interest and key technical support zones. Still, investors should remain cautious in the face of ongoing market volatility.

What is liquidity?
Liquidity means how easily you can buy or sell an asset without moving its price too much. Therefore :
- High liquidity = easy to trade, small price impact.
- Low liquidity = trades can cause big price changes (slippage).
How does liquidity affect price execution?
On a CEX (centralized exchange): large market orders may eat through the order book → worse price.
On a DEX (decentralized exchange): the price moves along a curve; big trades in small pools = big slippage.
How to check liquidity?
On CEX: look at 24h volume, bid/ask spread, and depth chart.
On DEX: check pool size (TVL), 24h volume, and number of traders using tools like DexTools or GeckoTerminal.
What is slippage and how to reduce it?
Slippage = difference between the expected price and the actual execution price.
Often caused by low liquidity or fast-moving markets.
On CEX: Use limit orders and avoid volatile moments.
On DEX: split large trades, use aggregators (1inch, CowSwap), trade tokens with high TVL and volume, only raise slippage tolerance if needed.

Key highlights from the 2025 Bitcoin conference held in Las Vegas
The 2025 Bitcoin Conference marked a decisive moment in the evolution of cryptocurrency. On stage, U.S. Vice President JD Vance pledged unwavering support for Bitcoin, unveiling plans for a federal Bitcoin reserve and calling for regulatory clarity through the proposed GENIUS Act. Echoes of this shift were heard globally, with Pakistan and the UK also announcing strategic ambitions around Bitcoin reserves.
Visionaries like Michael Saylor projected a future where Bitcoin's market cap surpasses $100 trillion, while Jack Mallers introduced Bitcoin-backed lending, aiming to reshape access to credit. Meanwhile, Block laid the foundation for Bitcoin payments across its merchant network by 2026.
The conference’s theme centered on freedom and decentralization, positioning Bitcoin not just as a financial asset, but as a tool for individual empowerment in a changing world.
Despite a modest dip in price, sentiment remained bullish — Bitcoin, once a rebellion, now stands at the heart of financial transformation.

What to think about the IPO currently processing on Circle with BlackRock set to take a 10% stake ? Few highlights :
Circle, issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has officially filed to go public on the NYSE under the ticker $CRCL.
The offering targets up to $624M at a fully diluted valuation of approximately $6.7B.
To summarize :
- BlackRock plans to acquire ~10% of the offered shares, strengthening its existing strategic partnership with Circle
- ARK Invest is also expected to participate, with up to $150M in share purchases.
- USDC reserves (~$30B) are already managed via the Circle Reserve Fund, a government MMF overseen by BlackRock.
From a market perspective, this IPO marks a significant convergence of regulated stablecoin infrastructure and traditional capital markets.
What to watch:
- How public market investors will price regulatory risk vs. stablecoin utility
- Impact on stablecoin market share (USDC vs. USDT)
- Implications for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and the broader digital dollar narrative
IPO pricing expected around June 4, 2025.

Why Bitcoin has recently dropped - My understandings and opinion
Tariff threats from Donald Trump: Bitcoin fell by 2.5% after Trump announced potential tariffs of 25% on iPhones made outside the U.S. and 50% on European products. Investors fear escalating trade tensions
China’s retaliation: In response to new U.S. tariffs, China imposed 34% surtaxes. This increased market uncertainty and may push Bitcoin below $75,000
Federal Reserve policy: The Fed announced it would cut rates fewer times than expected in 2025, strengthening the U.S. dollar and reducing investor appetite for riskier assets like Bitcoin
Profit-taking: After reaching an all-time high of over $111,000 recently, some investors began selling their positions, contributing to the decline
Increased volatility:
Massive liquidations in futures markets accelerated the drop, with nearly $1.37 billion liquidated in 24 hours—including $474 million in Bitcoin positions
Despite recent drops, we can remain optimistic and foresee Bitcoin possibly reaching $by end of 2025, supported by strong technical indicators
