$ADA



Cardano (ADA), a blockchain platform renowned for its peer-reviewed research and scientific approach to development, has consistently been a hotbed of discussion and debate within the crypto sphere. While its proponents champion its robust security, decentralization, and long-term vision, critics often point to its slower development pace and perceived lack of immediate utility compared to more established or agile networks. The #CardanoDebate hashtag encapsulates a multifaceted conversation, touching upon everything from technical architecture to market adoption and regulatory standing.

The Core Pillars: What Cardano Enthusiasts Highlight

At the heart of the bullish case for Cardano lies its unique development philosophy. Unlike many projects that prioritize speed, Cardano has taken a methodical, research-first approach. Key strengths often cited include:

* eUTxO Model: Cardano's Extended Unspent Transaction Output (eUTxO) model is lauded for its enhanced security, predictability, and parallel transaction processing capabilities, which proponents argue offer superior scalability and expressiveness for complex smart contracts.

* Haskell & Formal Verification: The use of Haskell, a functional programming language, combined with formal verification methods, aims to ensure a higher degree of security and correctness in its code. This rigorous approach is seen as crucial for critical applications.

* Decentralization: With a large number of stake pools operated by the community, Cardano aims for a highly decentralized network, fostering censorship resistance and community governance. The upcoming "Chang" hard fork is set to further enhance on-chain governance.

$ETH

Ethereum was conceived in 2013 by programmer Vitalik Buterin.[4] Other founders include Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, Anthony Di Iorio, and Joseph Lubin.[5] In 2014, development work began and was crowdfunded, and the network went live on 30 July 2015.[6] Ethereum allows anyone to deploy decentralized applications onto it, with which users can interact.[7] Decentralized finance (DeFi) applications provide financial instruments that do not directly rely on financial intermediaries like brokerages, exchanges, or banks. This facilitates borrowing against cryptocurrency holdings or lending them out for interest.[8][9] Ethereum also allows users to create and exchange non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are tokens that can be tied to unique digital assets, such as images. Additionally, many other cryptocurrencies utilize the ERC-20 token standard on top of the Ethereum blockchain and have utilized the platform for initial coin offerings.

On 15 September 2022, Ethereum transitioned its consensus mechanism from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) in an update known as "The Merge", which cut the blockchain's energy usage by 99%.[10]

#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

Thank you and good afternoon.[1] It is a great pleasure to be with you today. Let me begin by thanking Commissioner Peirce and the Crypto Task Force for their organizing today’s event, and Commissioner Crenshaw and Commissioner Uyeda for their participation.  Of course, I very much thank the roundtable panelists and our moderator, Troy Parades, for their voluntary contribution of time and talent to our endeavor.

Today’s roundtable is titled “DeFi and the American Spirit.” This is an apt title because the American values of economic liberty, private property rights, and innovation are in the DNA of the DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, movement.

Blockchains, of course, are a very creative and potentially revolutionary innovation that have us rethinking evidence of ownership and transfer of intellectual and economic property rights.  They are shared databases that enable ownership of a type of digital property called crypto assets without reliance on an intermediary or central party. Instead, these peer-to-peer networks incorporate an economic mechanism to encourage participants to validate and maintain the database in accordance with the network’s rules. These are free market systems where users pay demand-based fees to network participants to have their transactions included within a so-called “block” of data with finite storage capacity.

#TradingTools101

Not only has technology revolutionized the way we invest our money, but it has also completely transformed the way we interact with the financial markets and trade stocks. Just a few decades ago, if you wanted to get information about a company’s stock price, the only way you could find it out is by reading the financial newspaper or waiting for the five o’clock news bulletin. Then, if you wanted to make a trade on that stock, you had to call your broker or physically visit their office in person. It’s safe to say we’ve moved on quite a bit since then.

Day trading, as we know it today, simply did not exist back then, as it was not a viable option for people outside of Wall Street. Nowadays, people from all walks of life can try their hand at day trading the markets, from college students to retirees in care homes.

This is all thanks to significant improvements in internet connectivity and the ease of executing online trades from the comfort of your own home. This has led to a massive influx of recreational traders, and as a result, the global stock market is currently experiencing record-high valuations of around $95 trillion.

#CryptoCharts101

Why do you need to understand cryptocurrency market charts?

Reading crypto trading charts is pretty important for anyone looking to get into crypto trading or investing. After all, these charts provide a visual representation of market data, enabling traders to make informed trading decisions. 

By analyzing price movements and patterns, traders can see market trends directly on the charts — whether bullish or bearish — and make predictions about future price directions. This helps determine the best times to buy or sell assets, as well as where to set different orders to protect the trades, such as stop-loss or take-profit orders.

Think of reading these charts like learning to read a map before a journey. Maps can help predict what the journey will look like. Just as a map helps navigate to a destination by showing the best routes and potential obstacles, crypto charts guide traders in navigating the market by highlighting trends and potential price movements.

Common trading mistakes to avoid as a trader

Mistakes



Trading seems so simple. After all, a price can only go up or down so all traders have to do is pick the right direction then sit back and wait for the money to roll in, right? Well, not quite.

The trading world can be full of surprises for those who have big ideas but little in the way of preparation. When ill-prepared traders won't recognise that mistakes in trading are all a part of the learning process and can actually shape a person into becoming a successful trader.

Legendary Wall Street trader Martin Schwartz shared both the lows and highs of his stellar trading career in his book 'Pit Bull: Lessons from Wall Street's Champion Day Trader'. In his typical flamboyant fashion, he recalled how he lost $10,000 within a few hours of opening his first trade.

But what’s outstanding about this book is how Schwartz openly discussed the trading mistakes he committed, particularly when he was brand new to trading. He details how he learned and corrected those mistakes, and from then on the rest was history as he became one of the most successful and famous traders in the world.

Schwartz’s book is a practical and realistic reference to the most common trading mistakes.

And there’s no doubt that most traders – if not all – would have made or are still making the same mistakes.

Making trading mistakes is part of every trader’s journey. Whether someone is completely new to trading or has been trading the markets for decades, chances are they will make some common trading mistakes.

Some of these mistakes are more costly than others. And the fact is there are some mistakes that are hard to accept. For some traders, ignoring a mistake and repeating it over and over again can spell the difference between becoming a successful trader or losing one.

#CryptoFees101

Irrespective of whether your crypto portfolio is up or down, it’s certainly making someone else rich. When Coinbase went public, they were valued higher than the three largest stock exchanges in the world, combined.

These exchanges are so richly valued because they charge more than 50x as much in fees as traditional financial exchanges. That’s real money out of your pocket and why we are going to breakdown these fees to help you understand the main costs of trading, holding and using crypto.

To make it easier to understand, we are going to split the fees into ones assessed by the exchange you are using, and the ones assessed by the blockchain ledger itself.

#CryptoSecurity101

Cryptocurrency – meaning and definition

Cryptocurrency, sometimes called crypto-currency or crypto, is any form of currency that exists digitally or virtually and uses cryptography to secure transactions. Cryptocurrencies don't have a central issuing or regulating authority, instead using a decentralized system to record transactions and issue new units.

What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a digital payment system that doesn't rely on banks to verify transactions. It’s a peer-to-peer system that can enable anyone anywhere to send and receive payments. Instead of being physical money carried around and exchanged in the real world, cryptocurrency payments exist purely as digital entries to an online database describing specific transactions. When you transfer cryptocurrency funds, the transactions are recorded in a public ledger. Cryptocurrency is stored in digital wallets.

#TradingPairs101

Understanding Pairs Trade

Pairs trading was first introduced in the mid-1980s by a group of technical analyst researchers that were employed by Morgan Stanley, the multinational investment bank and financial services company. The pairs trade strategy uses statistical and technical analysis to seek out potential market-neutral profits.

Key Takeaways

A pairs trade is a trading strategy that involves matching a long position with a short position in two stocks with a high correlation.

Pairs trading was first introduced in the mid-1980s by a group of technical analyst researchers.

A pairs trade strategy is based on the historical correlation of two securities; the securities in a pairs trade must have a high positive correlation, which is the primary driver behind the strategy’s profits.

What is Liquidity?

In financial markets, liquidity refers to how quickly an investment can be sold without negatively impacting its price. The more liquid an investment is, the more quickly it can be sold (and vice versa), and the easier it is to sell it for fair value or current market value. All else being equal, more liquid assets trade at a premium and illiquid assets trade at a discount.

In accounting and financial analysis, a company’s liquidity is a measure of how easily it can meet its short-term financial obligations.

Stock trading plays a key role in financial markets. Publicly traded companies sell stock to pay off debt, launch new products, and expand operations, while investors buy shares to own a piece of a company, exert some influence over the company’s decisions, and, most importantly, attempt to build wealth through capital appreciation and/or dividend payments.1

Below, we offer a guide to the fundamentals of stock trading, including types of trading, key strategies, and navigating the regulatory environment.

Key Takeaways

Stock trading involves buying and selling shares of ownership in companies.

CEX vs DEX: An overview of Crypto Exchanges.

Hi everyone, it’s Akpotare Tega here again. I usually introduce myself by name because I don’t know which hat to wear. Investor, friend, crypto analyst, tech bro, Chelsea fan, motivator, influencer, etc. 😁 Well, that’s not important. What is important right now is our topic for discussion today. We’ve had a lot of crypto talk recently, and you might even be on your way with this journey. So, I decided to delve into a proper discussion on something I’ve already touched on, and that’s crypto exchanges. They remain the lifeline of cryptocurrency because moving crypto assets around is made possible mainly via exchanges. Cryptocurrency exchanges play a pivotal role in the digital asset ecosystem as they facilitate the buying, selling, and trading of various cryptocurrencies.

Now, significantly, there are two main models when it comes to exchanges — centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX). Today, we’ll look at each of them in detail, with the goal of deciding which is better, if there is a better one. This will be done by spotlighting their features, benefits, security considerations, regulatory landscapes, and future trends. So, let’s begin.

#TradingTypes101

Trading in financial markets can be an exciting and profitable venture, but it’s essential to understand the various types of trading methods available. Each trading style is designed to cater to different risk tolerances, investment goals, and time commitments.

1. **Day Trading**: This fast-paced strategy involves buying and selling securities within the same trading day. Day traders capitalize on small price movements, often executing multiple trades within a single session. This type requires substantial market knowledge and quick decision-making skills.

2. **Swing Trading**: Swing traders aim to capture price moves over several days or weeks. They focus on technical analysis to identify potential trends and reversals. This strategy suits those who want to be more hands-off than day trading while still actively managing their trades.

3. **Position Trading**: A long-term approach, position trading involves holding assets for months or even years. Traders using this method typically focus on fundamental analysis and broader market trends rather than short-term volatility.

4. **Scalping**: This ultra-short-term strategy aims to profit from tiny price changes. Scalpers often execute dozens of trades in a single day and rely on high leverage to maximize returns.

Each trading type has its advantages and risks. New traders should take the time to research and practice before committing significant capital, and consider their own investment objectives, risk tolerance, and available time to trade. Understanding these trading types will help traders develop a strategy that aligns with their financial goals.

#AltcoinETFsPostponed

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently delayed its decisions on several altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These ETFs involve cryptocurrencies like XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL). The delays move the following review dates to mid-June 2025, with final decisions expected by October 2025. This gives investors more time to consider their options in these digital assets. The SEC often delays decisions as part of its regular process, which does not mean the ETFs will be denied. Let’s explore what’s happening.

An ETF is a simple way to invest in assets without owning them directly. Think of it as a basket that holds things like stocks or cryptocurrencies. For altcoins like XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana, ETFs let people invest without buying the coins themselves. This can make crypto more appealing to everyday investors, potentially boosting their popularity and prices

#Trump100Days

What we covered here

• Marking 100 days: At a rally tonight in Michigan, President Donald Trump cited his immigration crackdown as a signature achievement of his second term so far while hailing a string of actions he’s taken, including retribution against his political enemies and targeting so-called “woke” policies.

• Tense interview: In a prime-time interview, the president cast doubt on due process protections in the US immigration system and challenged the role of the courts during a tense exchange with ABC’s Terry Moran. He also said he’s considering reinstating certain cuts implemented by DOGE.

• Tariff turmoil: Trump earlier today signed an executive order and a proclamation to​ ease auto tariffs, the latest abrupt shift in a rapidly changing policy that has left businesses scrambling.

• Voter sentiment: The American public is frustrated at the state of politics, a new CNN poll shows, and have dim views of the Democratic opposition.
