Decentralizing DCA: This exhange offers gas-free dollar-cost averaging

Image
Trading volatile cryptocurrencies is no easy task, but the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy holds the key to addressing timing challenges and reducing risk. Cryptocurrencies attract a lot of investors due to their high volatility, but this also poses a significant challenge. The most difficult part of investing in crypto is finding the best time to enter the market. Ideally, the plan would be to buy low and sell high, but the extreme volatility makes it impossible to enter at the right time on a regular basis. However, there is a tested strategy that has been used by investors in traditional markets. It’s called dollar -cost averaging (DCA), and it can be applied to crypto assets like Bitcoin (BTC). The main rule of the strategy is to allocate a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the current price.

Bitcoin’s price action remains lackluster, but select altcoins are showing signs of breaking out of their respective resistance levels. The 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve on July 26 and the subsequent commentary by Fed Chair Jerome Powell failed to catapult Bitcoin (BTC) out of its range. This suggests that the event did not have any surprises and the outcome was already priced in by the markets. The crypto markets continued their lackluster performance on July 28 after the United States Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index print came in lower than analysts’ expectations.

Breaking: European Central Bank (ECB) Hike Rates By 25 Bps, Bitcoin Consolidates

Image
ECB Decides On Hike Rates Given that economic data suggest that the main interest rate is faltering and that loan demand has fallen to a historic low,  people expected that the ECB will most likely raise its primary interest rate (the deposit rate) to 3.75%. advertisement The rapid increase in rates may have a negative impact on the expansion of loans in the euro region and, consequently, on economic activity. In a quarterly poll released on Tuesday, the ECB noted that “Firms’ net demand for loans fell strongly in the second quarter of 2023, dropping to an all-time low since the survey’s inception in 2003.” Due to the euro zone’s less developed and liquid capital markets than those of the United States, banks dominate how the economy is financed. According to ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane , the tighter monetary policy is having a quick impact, especially on bank loans.

Why the arrest of Multichain's CEO shouldn’t come as a surprise

Last month, Multichain chief exec Zhao Jun was detained and ultimately arrested by Chinese law enforcement. His team avoided admitting to the dire straits for as long as they could, but eventually conceded that the man who basically controlled the DeFi protocol was in the hands of the Chinese authorities.
