#CEXvsDEX101 Learning Curve: Start with a CEX for simplicity, then explore DEXs as you gain confidence with wallets and blockchain basics.Security: On CEXs, enable 2FA and withdraw funds to a hardware wallet when not trading. For DEXs, double-check wallet connections to avoid phishing scams.Costs: CEXs charge trading fees (0.1%-0.5% typically), while DEXs involve gas fees (variable, often $5-$50+ on Ethereum). Compare costs based on your trading frequency.Goals: Use CEXs for fiat conversions or high-volume trading; use DEXs for DeFi projects or privacy.Hybrid Approach: Many traders use both—CEXs for onboarding fiat and major coins, DEXs for niche tokens or DeFi.
#TradingTypes101 Educate Yourself FirstLearn the basics of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and how markets work. Understand terms like wallets, private keys, exchanges, and order books.Research major coins (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) and their use cases. Avoid jumping into obscure altcoins without understanding their fundamentals.Use reliable resources like CoinDesk, CoinMarketCap, or Binance Academy for learning.Start Small and Use Disposable IncomeOnly invest what you can afford to lose. Crypto markets are volatile, and losses can be significant.Begin with a small amount to practice trading without emotional stress.Choose a Reputable ExchangeUse trusted platforms like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, or Bitstamp. Check for security features like two-factor authentication (2FA) and cold storage.Avoid lesser-known exchanges with poor track records to minimize risks of hacks or scams.Secure Your AssetsStore your crypto in a secure wallet. Hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) are safer for long-term storage than keeping funds on exchanges.Never share your private keys or seed phrases. Enable 2FA on all accounts.Be cautious of phishing scams and fake apps/websites.Develop a Trading StrategyDecide if you’re day trading, swing trading, or holding long-term (HODLing). Each requires different time commitments and risk tolerance.Use technical analysis basics (e.g., support/resistance levels, moving averages) but don’t rely solely on charts—combine with fundamental analysis (project updates, market news).Set clear entry and exit points to avoid emotional decisions.Manage RiskUse stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.Diversify your portfolio—don’t put all your money into one coin.Follow the 1% rule: don’t risk more than 1% of your capital on a single trade.Stay Informed but Avoid HypeFollow crypto news on platforms like X or reputable sites, but be skeptical of “pump and dump” schemes or influencers shilling coins.Verify information from multiple sources before acting. Market sentiment can be manipulated.Understand Taxes and RegulationsCrypto trading is taxable in many countries. Track your trades and report gains/losses to comply with local laws.Use tools like CoinTracker or Koinly to simplify tax reporting.Control EmotionsAvoid FOMO (fear of missing out) and panic selling during dips. Stick to your strategy.Take breaks to avoid burnout from constant market watching.Practice with a Demo AccountMany exchanges offer paper trading accounts to practice without risking real money. Use these to test strategies and build confidence.
Bitcoin Critic Jamie Dimon's
Company JPMorgan Makes Major
Cryptocurrency Move
JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest U.S. bank, is rolling out plans to lend to its customers by accepting exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to cryptocurrencies as collateral. The move is seen as one of the biggest moves from Wall Street since President Donald Trump pledged to support loosening regulations on the crypto sector. JPMorgan will begin providing financing in the coming weeks against some crypto ETFs, starting with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, according to people familiar with the matter. The bank will also factor in its asset management clients’ crypto holdings in its total net worth and liquid assets calculations. The change would see cryptocurrencies treated similarly to asset classes such as stocks, cars or works of art. JPMorgan was an early adopter of blockchain technology in areas such as payments and has started working with crypto exchanges such as Coinbase. However, CEO Jamie Dimon has kept his distance from cryptocurrencies as an individual. Dimon, who said he was “not a fan” of Bitcoin at the investor day in May, said he still defended customers’ right to buy Bitcoin, saying, “I don’t support smoking, but I do support your right to smoke. I also support your right to buy Bitcoin.” #BTCPrediction $BTC

Bitcoin Surges as IF Models Point to Dollar Weakness

Powell reiterated the critical role of global data and modeling in shaping US monetary policy in his speech.However, he did not directly signal any change in interest rates. While Powell’s remarks were framed as a tribute to the IF Division’s legacy, analysts and crypto investors parsed his words for policy clues amid mounting signs of disinflation and economic resilience.#BTCPrediction

Trump Media and Technology Group Corp., the owner of social media platform Truth Social, publishing platform Truth+ and financial technology brand Truth.Fi, announced in its official press release that it has completed its previously announced private equity investment process with approximately 50 institutional investors.
Of the approximately $2.44 billion in total proceeds from these investments, $2.32 billion of net proceeds will be used to establish Trump Media’s Bitcoin treasury and for general corporate expenses and working capital.
With this development, Trump Media will have one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries among US-listed companies, and the company's Bitcoin strategy will be among the most comprehensive treasury policies.
Trump Media CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said in a statement:
“At Trump Media, we are focused on acquiring high-potential assets. This deal will give us the financial space to freely implement our strategies. The company will have more than $3 billion in liquid assets, and our shareholders will have the opportunity to indirectly invest in Bitcoin. This move is an important step towards realizing our long-standing vision of rapid growth.”
As a result of the investment, Trump Media's balance sheet will include Bitcoin in addition to its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $759 million as of the first quarter of 2025.
Spain-based Banco Santander SA is preparing to take a major expansion step in the digital assets space.
The bank plans to offer cryptocurrency access to individual customers through its digital banking unit Openbank and develop stablecoin services in euros and dollars, the latest example of European banks’ growing interest in crypto assets.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the stablecoin plans are still in their early stages. Openbank has applied for a license to provide individual crypto services under the European Union’s new regulatory framework, MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets).
Options Santander is considering include developing its own stablecoin or offering access to an existing token. Dollar-based stablecoins are known to be increasingly popular in countries with weak local currencies, particularly in Latin America, where Santander has a strong presence.
The move follows similar developments in Europe, with major American banks also moving into the space, amid US President Donald Trump’s clear support for the sector and the advancement of stablecoin laws in the US.
Santander’s Spanish rival BBVA also announced last March that it would begin offering individual crypto services after receiving the necessary approvals from the country’s market regulators. BBVA already provides similar services to limited groups of customers in Switzerland and Türkiye, and is also testing a platform for creating and transferring bank tokens developed by Visa Inc.
Trump’s Trade Tensions Escalate with 50% EU Tariff
In the latest development, President Trump announced his decision to impose a 50% tax on goods imported from the EU. He has also reportedly expressed frustration that negotiations between the US and EU aren’t yielding progress, positing that the trade talks are “going nowhere.”
Notably, Trump’s EU tariff updates were released just minutes after his post on Truth Social, where he threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Apple unless the company manufactures iPhones in the United States.
In response to the escalating pressures, the crypto market experienced a sharp decline to $3.42 trillion, down by 2.58%. Bitcoin which recently reached a new all-time high of $111k, dipped to $108k following Trump’s announcements. Other major tokens like Ethereum (ETH) and XRP have also faced notable dips of 1.82% and 2.09%, respectively.
