Bitcoin. First introduced in late 2008, it is a specific currency in an electronic payment system that acts as an alternative to fiat currency. It exists only on computers and the internet. It is not backed by a government, and its price is not set by a centralized authority.
ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, which began trading late last month, was up 10.95% on Monday.
Potential investors looking to buy the dip should understand that fluctuations are par for the course, and be prepared for this kind of volatility going forward. Even if you invest now, with prices relatively low, be prepared for them to fall even more. Again, only put in what you’re comfortable with losing — after you’ve covered other financial priorities, like emergency savings and more traditional retirement funds.
The cryptocurrency’s price began to surge on Sunday night (7 November) as investors pumped the price from $62,319.98 at 8pm to $66,101.46 by 10am on Monday morning.

The price of the bitcoin rose to an intraday high of $69,000 Wednesday, reflecting a 4.6% gain following the release of CPI data.
A look at funding rates across exchanges hints at excessive optimism, with traders going long on BTC en masse — a classic indicator of a correction.
Another institutional hit for bitcoin–which probably had the most sustained effect–was the SEC’s refusal to approve a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This would be a path for more mainstream people in finance to dabble with blockchain; it would allow investors to dip their toes in bitcoin without owning the actual asset. Not only that, but it would make bitcoin available on the most prominent financial markets. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, has yet to allow such a fund to exist–mostly because it is unable to monitor crypto-transactions in order to avoid market manipulation.
Binance may not offer as many cryptocurrencies as decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap, but when it comes to centralized exchanges, Binance is the leader. With more than 500 cryptocurrencies and over 1,200 trading pairs available for its customers, crypto traders who prioritize having access to the most possible coins should strongly consider Binance.
Regulation has come into play worldwide with the growth of the crypto industry. Over the years, the United States has increasingly stepped up its overwatch of the space. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cracked down on initial coin offerings, or ICOs, after the mania of 2017 and 2018. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and other U.S. agencies have also engaged in various capacities.
Margin is usually expressed as a percentage of the full position. A trade on bitcoin (BTC), for instance, might require 15% of the total value of the position to be paid for it to be opened. So instead of depositing $5000, you’d only need to deposit $750.
Yield farming involves lending cryptocurrency in exchange for interest payments and other rewards - but it comes with a high degree of risk.
