A strategy that buys one undervalued stock and sells another overvalued stock. The strategy is considered "market neutral" and is designed to make money in both bullish and bearish markets. Investors are fascinated by market neutral strategies due to the potential for stable profits without taking on significant risk. It also offers very low correlation with the broader market.
It marks an important moment for the crypto industry, bringing a major player to the public market. This could signal a rise in institutional acceptance and the legitimacy of digital currencies. While volatility is expected, the long-term potential is attractive to investors. Are you ready to ride the wave? Will the stability of USDC translate into stable stock performance?
The next few weeks will be crucial for assessing the Circle market. Time will tell whether this is a buy, hold, or sell situation. Let's see how this unfolds!
#Liquidity101#Liquidity101 🔍 Liquidity I thought for a long time that I understood liquidity. Well, like: 'the more volume — the better, it’s all logical'. But over time it became clear: liquidity is not just about volume, but about price behavior, market depth, and even the interest of market makers. If you want to trade seriously — understand liquidity not in words, but in numbers and structures.
#OrderTypes101 📌Successful trading is impossible without understanding how orders work. Many beginners limit themselves to Market orders, which are executed instantly at the current price.
But more experienced traders actively use Limit orders, which allow setting a desired buying or selling price and waiting for it to be reached.
There are also more advanced types: Stop-Loss — automatic selling when the price falls to a certain level (to protect capital), Take-Profit — securing profits at a predetermined level. It's also worth mentioning Stop-Limit, Trailing Stop, and OCO (one cancels the other) — tools that allow managing risks and profits at a deeper level.
🔥Knowledge of these orders is your shield and sword in the world of volatility.
#CEXvsDEX101 #CEXvsDEX101 ❗️Are you still confused about the difference between CEX and DEX? Then listen carefully!
Centralized exchanges (CEX), such as Binance or OKX, offer simplicity, liquidity, and convenience for beginners. But in doing so, you trust your funds to a third party and do not always have full control.
Decentralized exchanges (DEX), for example Uniswap or PancakeSwap, operate without intermediaries. You are the only one who controls your keys. This gives freedom but requires an understanding of how wallets and smart contracts work.
What to choose? It all depends on your goals and level of experience. But in 2025, a smart trader studies both types of platforms!
#TradingTypes101 📉 About how incorrect risk distribution turns victory into defeat!
You can be right in 8 trades out of 10. You can catch the trend, enter exactly in the liquidity zone, take out the tails with surgical precision, BUT if you don't know how to distribute risk properly — all of this doesn't matter.
🏦 By 2045, 50% of BTC will be in the hands of treasury structures
By 2045, treasury firms (such as MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and XXI) are projected to own half of all bitcoins — 10.5 million out of 21 million.
💰 MicroStrategy will remain the leader, with $70 trillion in bitcoins in its hands — more than any other company in history.
This means that the share of ordinary investors and private companies will rapidly decline. BTC is becoming an asset not only for the masses, but also for global corporations.
📌 Bitcoin is becoming a 'mature' asset (Even considering today's decline)
Analyst Willy Woo noted: since funds and large players started buying BTC (since 2020), its growth has slowed down. Previously – more than 100% per year. Now – 30–40%. And in 10–20 years, it may be only 8% per year.
What this means: ◾️ Bitcoin is no longer a tool for hype and x's ◾️ It is turning into "digital gold" – a stable asset for years ◾️ Ahead are plateaus, not waves
Woo: "We are moving away from the wild west phase. The maturity phase is beginning. And that's normal".
Conclusion: speculators are bored, long-term investors are calm

$USDC USDC — one of the leading stablecoins in the crypto market, backed by real dollar reserves. Issued by Circle in partnership with Coinbase as part of the Centre consortium. Each USDC token is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio and is fully backed by liquid assets — bank deposits and short-term government bonds. The main advantages of USDC are transparency, regular audits, high levels of regulation, and trust from institutional players. Unlike some competitors, Circle provides asset reports that comply with US financial reporting standards. USDC is widely used in DeFi, trading, cross-border payments, and hedging the volatility of crypto assets. This is not just a stablecoin — it is an infrastructure element of the digital economy.
#MastercardStablecoinCards 🔓Mastercard has teamed up with MoonPay to introduce a new payment card supporting stablecoins, allowing users to spend digital assets like USDC at over 150 million merchants worldwide.

$BTC 💸 Bitcoin Dominance is Falling While the Cryptocurrency Market is Rising
Against the backdrop of the overall growth of the crypto market, Bitcoin's share of the total market capitalization is decreasing — it currently stands at around 59%, which is still considered a high level.
However, due to the relatively low price base of many altcoins, they are showing better performance in the current rally, outpacing Bitcoin in growth.
The future dynamics of BTC dominance will largely depend on the decisions of American regulators. On the agenda is the possible approval of ETFs not only for Bitcoin but also for some altcoins, as well as clarifying the rules regarding ICOs and the regulation of the crypto industry as a whole.
🇺🇸 So far, signals from the USA look positive — both for Bitcoin and for the broader altcoin market.
