SafeMoon had a very promising launch and maxed out at an impressive market price of $0.00001375. Many tokens and coins have price spikes soon after launch as this is the time when interest is at its peak for new potential investments. Investors were hoping that the market price would settle somewhere around this level and continue to rise at a more sustainable rate. Unfortunately, this was not the case, SafeMoon witnessed its market price continuously drop until it was priced around $0.000003458.
Some experts say this is high risk as SafeMoon’s success relies heavily on more and more people buying the currency to keep the price up.
“The manual burns, alongside the company having a pretty large stake in the coins, just speaks to me of a manipulation risk,” said Jasper Lawler, head of research at London Capital Group, an online brokerage firm offering cryptocurrency derivatives. “Whenever there’s some sort of mechanism to stop selling, that’s a bit of a warning sign.”
However, in the wake of the technical issues, the DeFi protocol has met its share of criticisms and FUD. Some Twitter users have even accused SafeMoon of scamming its users.
This strategy is set up to restrict the selling of the tokens and instead support its ownerships. The initiative will make the merchants think before they sell the tokens, and it gives added benefit to the current coin proprietors. This technique means to lessen the abrupt declines brought about by the sale of cryptos that result in varying prices and market fall.
Spot trading means you’re not technically “buying” the cryptocurrency, but instead trading your USD for it through either a market or a limit order. A market order means you agree to trade for the currency at the current market price. A limit order lets you put in a designated price at which you want the trade to occur, and when the currency reaches that price, the trade happens automatically. These orders then incur “maker” (for limit orders) or “taker” (for market orders) fees — though on Binance.US, there’s just a standard 0.1% fee.
