Cardano’s Stablecoin Coming This Week

As announced last week by COTI ($COTI.X), Cardano’s ($ADA.X) over-collateralized, algorithmic stablecoin, DJED, is set to launch this week. 🚀

Quick note: Don’t know what stablecoins are? Check out our Crypto 101 article. 

Algorithmic stablecoins have become a pariah in the crypto space. Not only has every single one failed, but the most spectacular collapse of any algorithmic stablecoin, Terra’s TerraUSD ($UST.X), last year is cited as one of the primary catalysts for the current bear market.

One Way To Use Stocktwits’ Social Data Tools

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘volume precedes price’? It’s an old-school technical analysis 101 maxim. For example, if an instrument is in a downtrend but then you start to see volume tick up, the theory is that price will follow the volume. 🧑‍🎓
