#BigTechStablecoin Las criptomonedas estables de grandes tecnológicas (o "Big Tech stablecoins") se refieren a los intentos de empresas tecnológicas gigantes como Meta (anteriormente Facebook), Apple, Google, Amazon o X (antes Twitter) de lanzar o integrar sus propias stablecoins en sus vastos ecosistemas. El objetivo principal es aprovechar la eficiencia de las criptomonedas para pagos globales, reducir comisiones y agilizar transacciones, integrándolas directamente en las aplicaciones y servicios que miles de millones de personas ya utilizan. El ejemplo más conocido fue Libra (posteriormente Diem) de Meta, un proyecto ambicioso que buscaba crear una stablecoin global respaldada por una cesta de monedas fiduciarias. Aunque generó un enorme interés, enfrentó una fuerte oposición regulatoria a nivel mundial y finalmente fue descontinuado a principios de 2022. A pesar de este precedente, el interés de las "Big Tech" persiste. Empresas como PayPal ya han lanzado su propia stablecoin, PYUSD
#CryptoFees101 Las comisiones en el trading son los costos que un bróker cobra por ejecutar órdenes de compra y venta de activos financieros en nombre de un inversor. Estas comisiones pueden variar en función del bróker, el tipo de activo y el volumen de operaciones#
#CryptoSecurity101 Security in crypto is not optional, it is essential. It doesn't matter how much you earn if you don't know how to protect your assets. Use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and avoid sharing sensitive information. Store your cryptos in secure wallets, preferably cold (offline), and be wary of suspicious links or promises of quick profits. Remember: in crypto you are your own bank, and that comes with responsibility. A bad decision can cost you everything. Educating yourself about security is just as important as learning to trade. Protect yourself before investing!
#CircleIPO What do we know about Circle's IPO? Circle Internet Financial, known for issuing the USDC stablecoin, has taken an important step towards becoming a publicly traded company by filing a confidential draft of the S-1 document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The details regarding the number of shares and their price range remain undecided. This move towards an IPO follows Circle's earlier attempt to go public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2021, which did not succeed. The IPO is anticipated to occur after the SEC review, subject to market conditions and other factors, potentially as soon as the first half of 2024.
#TradingPairs101 The trading pairs in cryptocurrencies, also known as trading pairs, are the combination of two digital currencies or a digital currency and a fiat currency (traditional currency like the dollar). When trading cryptocurrency pairs, traders exchange one cryptocurrency for another.
#Liquidity101 Let's use Pokémon cards to explain the liquidity of cryptocurrencies. What is liquidity in cryptocurrencies? Imagine you have a very rare Pokémon card, one that only a few eccentric collectors know about and are looking for. If you decide to sell it, it might take you a long time to find someone who wants to buy it. And if you finally find someone, they might offer you a much lower price than you expected because they know there aren't many interested!
#OrderTypes101 Knowing the types of orders is key to trading intelligently. A Market Order is executed at the current market price: fast, but without price control. The Limit Order allows you to set the price at which you want to buy or sell: more control, but does not guarantee immediate execution. The Stop Order triggers a market order upon reaching a certain price: useful for managing losses. Each type has its purpose. Using them well can make the difference between losses and profits.
#CEXvsDEX101 Do you know the difference between a CEX (Centralized Exchange) and a DEX (Decentralized Exchange)? In a CEX like Binance, you enjoy high liquidity, 24/7 support, and fast transactions. Ideal for beginners and traders who value managed security. A DEX gives you complete control over your funds and privacy, without intermediaries. Perfect if you prefer decentralization and have experience managing your keys.
#TradingTypes101 The day trader opens and closes trades on the same day, looking for quick movements. The swing trader holds positions for days or weeks, taking advantage of short-term trends.
