Cointelegraph Markets Pro delivers trading alerts good for 65% gains in a choppy market

Using proprietary indicators, Cointelegraph Markets Pro crunches real-time data to inform traders before the market moves.

Navigating the ever-volatile terrain of the crypto market remains one of the most difficult jobs for traders — but much less so for members of the Cointelegraph Markets Pro community.

With an institutional-grade crypto intelligence platform at their service, Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers have been able to spot significant price movements for crypto assets before the market moves on a regular basis.

This prescient ability is actually the working of Cointelegraph Market Pro’s algorithmic tools, which are designed to spot coins showing historically similar signs to coins that have moved significantly in the past.

Last week, Cointelegraph Markets Pro alerts by the NewsQuakes™, Twitter Volume and On-Chain Activity indicators led Markets Pro members to opportunities to make 65% gains with just three trades!

OAX (OAX) — 39% increase

On-Chain Activity on OAX skyrocketed 405% on March 24, hinting at a massive growth spurt in the potential users of the platform. While this increase does not mean a price increase is inevitable (as the other examples show), it demonstrates how On-Chain Activity growth could be a precursor to massive price spikes.

In this example, OAX’s price increases 39% soon after the increase in on-chain activity.

OAX is the native coin of OAX Foundation, which strives to advance decentralized finance through tools, technology, applications and community support.

Arbitrum (ARB) — 14%

Arbitrum jumped 14% on news of its listing on the Crypto.com platform.

NewsQuakes™ have been the Cointelegraph Markets Pro community’s most lucrative and trustworthy indicator. Historically, had one bought and held every NewsQuakes™ listing alert for one hour, one could have yielded as much as $120,000 from a starting stake of just $1,000 — that’s 120x profit!

ARB is the native coin of Arbitrum, a layer-2 scaling solution built on the Ethereum network.

OmiseGo (OMG) — 12%

OmiseGo jumped 12% in market capitalization soon after its Tweet Volume increased by 158% compared with its 30-day average. The Tweet Volume indicator measures public sentiment about a coin, which can precede a significant price change as seen in the example above.

OMG is the native coin of OmiseGo, an interoperable decentralized exchange and payment platform.

Binance and CZ sued by CFTC over US regulatory violations

The cryptocurrency exchange and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, have allegedly violated trading and derivatives rules.

The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission has filed suit against Binance and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao for trading violations, according to a Bloomberg report. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

According to the CFTC, Binance failed to meet its regulatory obligations by not properly registering with the derivatives regulator. The cryptocurrency exchange has been the focus of a CFTC investigation since 2021. The exchange acknowledged in February that it would likely face regulatory action in the United States and was already working with regulators.

In addition to the CFTC, Binance has been under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service and federal prosecutors, who have examined the exchange’s adherence to Anti-Money Laundering rules. Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission has been investigating whether Binance allowed U.S. traders to access unregistered securities.

Binance is the biggest cryptocurrency exchange with over $8.5 billion trading volume daily.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

Breaking: Binance and CZ sued by CFTC over US regulatory violations

The cryptocurrency exchange and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, have allegedly violated trading and derivatives rules.

The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed suit against Binance and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao for trading violations, according to a Bloomberg report. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Binance is the biggest cryptocurrency exchange with over $8.5 billion trading volume daily.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has plummeted since the announcement, falling from $27,781 at 13:45 UTC to $26,755 in an hour and 15 minutes.

The suit claims Binance conducted transactions in Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC) for persons in the United States since at least 2019 despite a policy of blocking or restricting U.S. customers. The company and its executives intentionally violated U.S. law, the suit said:

“All the while, Binance, Zhao, and Lim, the platform’s former Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), have each known that Binance’s solicitation of customers located in the United States subjected Binance to registration and regulatory requirements under U.S. law.”

According to the suit, Binance obscured the location of its executive offices, as well as the “identities and locations of the entities operating the trading platform.” The suit cites an internal Binance memo in which CZ stated that the purpose of that policy was to “keep countries clean [of violations of law]” by “not landing .com anywhere. This is the main reason .com does not land anywhere.”

Binance employs at least 60 people in the United States, “and that number continues to increase,” the CFTC said in the suit. It also holds U.S. trademarks. Binance launched Binance.US arm in 2019.

Among other charges made by the CFTC are the claims that Binance failed to register with the regulator and violated provisions of the Commodities Exchange Act and CFTC regulations, including legally mandated implementation of Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (AML/KYC) controls.

In addition, the defendants failed to supervise the company’s activities adequately and willingly conducted activities beyond U.S. borders to evade the U.S. Commodities Exchange Act and took other actions to evade regulation:

“Zhao and others acting on behalf of Binance have used Signal—with its auto-delete functionality enabled—to engage in business communications, even after Binance received document requests from the CFTC and after Binance purportedly distributed document preservation notices to its personnel.”

The suits stated that Binance offered leverage to customers trading on the spot market and called two categories of product it offered “futures” and swaps it called “perpetuals.” It allegedly also “traded on its own platform through approximately 300 ‘house accounts’ that are all directly or indirectly owned by Zhao,” as well as through accounts owned by entities Zhao owned or controlled. Binance did not disclose that activity to its customers.

1/23

Oh boy https://t.co/2JnbfirRrp

Case is up and it’s bad.

This is the CFTC attempting to strike *fatal* blow to Binance, and at first read through… I think they actually have really strong chances here of succeeding in toppling the Binance empire.

— Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) (@adamscochran) March 27, 2023

CFTC Global Markets Advisory Committee member Christopher Perkins said in a statement provided to Cointelegraph:

“While it’s too early to opine on the merits of the CFTC case against Binance, we remain supportive of principles-based regulation across the crypto industry.”

The CFTC is pressing seven counts for executing unregistered futures transactions, providing illegal commodities options, failure to register as a Futures Commission Merchant, Designated Contract Market or Swap Execution Facility, failure to supervise diligently or implement AML/KYC measures and law evasion.

Cointelegraph Markets Pro delivers alerts for 113% gains from 5 trades in the face of 10% BTC drop

Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s latest VORTECS™ Report reveals the advanced indicators members used to realize outsized crypto market gains.

In Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s latest VORTECS™ Report, the institutional-grade crypto trading platform reveals how its members could have captured a cumulative 113% gain by following five trades based on three different advanced data indicators. The report depicts trading alerts generated between March 5–10, 2023.

The potential gains available to Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers significantly outperform a simple buy-and-hold strategy during the same period, which would’ve yielded holders of Bitcoin (BTC) a loss of 10%.

Cointelegraph Markets Pro uses indicators such as the VORTECS™ Score, NewsQuakes™ and Tweet Volume to provide alerts for subscribers in real time. The past three reports have included alerts with cumulative returns over 100%, showing that this advanced crypto intelligence platform churns out winning trade opportunities each week.

VORTECS™ Alerts

Everipedia (IQ) — 20% gain

*IQ’s price chart after a green VORTECS™ Score alert. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

Frequent top performer IQ rapidly recovered from the mid-week market plunge. On March 12, a string of strong VORTECS™ Scores as high as 92 alerted subscribers of bullish conditions for the token. The asset’s price was $0.005 when the green lights flashed, but just eight hours later, it jumped to $0.006 — an increase of 20%!

IQ is the native token of Everipedia, an informative knowledge platform built on blockchain technology. The token powers all application and governance processes for the platform.

NewsQuakes™

Liquity (LQTY) — 38% gain

Once again, the NewsQuakes™ alerted subscribers to assets preceding solid gains. On March 9, a NewsQuake™ went out to inform subscribers that Crypto.com would list LQTY. When the news dropped, LQTY was trading at $1.86, but soon began to climb to an eventual peak of $2.56 on March 13. That’s an increase of 38%!

MonkeyLeague (MBS) — 29% gain

*MBS’s NewsQuake™ alert and return data. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

On March 3, a NewsQuake™ alerted Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers that MonkeyLeague partnered with Web3 gaming decentralized autonomous organization IndiGG. A week later, the price of MonkeyLeague’s in-game currency MBS had risen 29%!

MBS is the currency driving the Web3 soccer game MonkeyLeague. The token is used for game features and can be earned through gameplay.

Tweet Volume

The Tweet Volume indicator measures a project’s activity on the social media platform Twitter. The rationale behind its use is that widespread community-driven discussion can sometimes drive an asset’s price up or down.

KAVA (KAVA) — 31% gain

*KAVA’s price chart after a 517% increase in Twitter Volume. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

On March 8, KAVA was in second place on the Tweet Volume chart, sitting at +370% above its typical 30-day average. At the time, it was trading around $0.80; but just five days later, its price had climbed to $1.05! That’s an impressive 31% ascent in a tumultuous market.

Loom (LOOM) — 17% gain

*LOOM’s price chart after a 336% increase in Twitter Volume. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

On March 7, LOOM showed up on both the Tweet and Trading Volume charts, with Tweets up 243% versus its average and its trading volume up 337%. The token’s price was $0.06 at the time, but just 10 hours later, its price went up to $0.07. That’s a 17% rise!

Cointelegraph Markets Pro delivers gains despite a choppy market

The six-day period between March 5 and 10 displayed Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s ability to deliver traders alpha-generating alerts despite the conditions of the market. As discussed in the introduction, Bitcoin dropped 10% in the same period as the alerts listed above.

Cointelegraph Markets Pro has been delivering results for over two years. The NewsQuakes™ indicator, the most successful indicator on the platform, has delivered impressive average historical returns of 120x.

This means that had you bought and held every NewsQuakes™ listing alert for one hour, you could have yielded as much as $120,000 from a starting stake of just $1,000.

Not to forget, Markets Pro users receive an average of four momentum-fueled alerts each and every week, regardless of their level of experience or overall market conditions.

These 3 Cointelegraph Markets Pro alerts generated a cumulative profit of over 100%

NewsQuakes™, Twitter Volume and Most Active On-Chain alerts helped Cointelegraph Markets Pro users find three assets that had big moves.

Last week, Cointelegraph Markets Pro, an institutional-grade crypto intelligence and alerts platform, provided subscribers the opportunity to trade three coins that embarked on momentum-fueled price moves.

The advanced data analysis tools at Cointelegraph Markets Pro used three alert systems to highlight these coins.

NewsQuakes™, which inform traders of potentially price-moving news alerts in real time, was triggered by Sommelier (SOMM) on March 17.
The Twitter Volume indicator, which measures a project’s mentions and activity on the social media platform Twitter, exposed Immutable X (IMX) as a potential candidate for a significant price move before the move occurred in full.
One of Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s newest indicators, Most Active On-Chain, shows the projects with the biggest increase in the number of addresses on-chain over the last 24 hours and on March 20 highlighted Ren (REN).

Collectively, the alerts helped traders spot assets that moved up to 62% in a very short period of time, and altogether, the three coins moved more than 100%. Let’s see how Cointelegraph Markets Pro helped subscribers spot these movers.

Sommelier (SOMM) — 62% gain

*SOMM’s NewsQuakes™ alert with summary and price change. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

On March 17, a NewsQuakes™ alert was triggered on SOMM due to an announcement on Gate.io about its upcoming sale result and listing schedule. The news also came with a 61.86% move to the good for the price of the coin, which could have been captured by subscribers minding their alerts and doing their due diligence.

Ren (REN) — 35%

*REN in Top 5 of Most Active On-Chain data. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

Ren experienced a flurry of on-chain activity over the last 24 hours, experiencing nearly a 160% increase in the number of active addresses on-chain. At the same time, REN’s price saw a rise of nearly 35%.

Note that this isn’t a causal relationship: Some coins experience an increase in on-chain activity but no subsequent price increases (like API3 and PYR) in the example above. These alerts are an indication of when prices can have potential price moves.

Immutable X (IMX) — 20% gain

*IMX’s price chart after a 1,397% increase in Twitter Volume. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

IMX’s market capitalization rose nearly 20% after a 1,397% surge in Twitter Volume. The rationale behind using this data is that widespread, community-driven discussions on social media such as Twitter can sometimes foreshadow asset price movement.

Cointelegraph Markets Pro provides real-time alerts

Cointelegraph Markets Pro is a premium subscription service designed to provide retail traders and investors with real-time market data, analysis and insights to help them make informed decisions in the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies.

As can be seen from the examples above, and from previously released VORTECS™ Report summaries, the platform provides traders with the institutional-grade insight needed to capture gains on a consistent basis. More importantly, most of the alerts generated occur before the actual price happens, giving traders the time to capture profits.

With tools like Cointelegraph Markets Pro, successful trading doesn’t belong only to the elites — anyone can have the data right at their fingertips with customizable alerts.

Cointelegraph Markets Pro VORTECS Report summary — 179% gains from 4 alerts

Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s VORTECS™ Score, NewsQuakes™, Tweet Volume and Most Active On-Chain indicators helped subscribers identify four profitable trades.

In Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s latest VORTECS™ Report, the institutional-grade crypto alerts platform displayed how its members could have captured a cumulative 179% gain by following four trades based on four different Markets Pro indicators. The report depicts trading alerts generated between Feb. 26 and March 4, 2023.

The potential gains available to Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers significantly outperform a simple buy-and-hold strategy during the same period, which would’ve suffered a loss of 5% holding Bitcoin (BTC) and a loss of 4% holding Ether (ETH).

Cointelegraph Markets Pro used a variety of advanced data — such as its proprietary VORTECS™ Score, NewsQuakes™, Tweet Volume and the new Most Active On-Chain indicator — to alert subscribers of the potential for price changes before they occurred.

VORTECS™ Score

SingularityNET (AGIX) — 41% gain

On Feb. 26, the asset was trading at $0.39 when Cointelegraph Markets Pro members received an alert for a high VORTECS™ Score of 87. Five days later, the price reached its weekly peak of $0.55 — an impressive increase of 41%!

AGIX is the utility token of SingularityNET, a decentralized artificial intelligence network on which participants create, share and monetize AI services at scale. AGIX is used for staking, transacting and governance on the network’s decentralized applications.

NewsQuakes™

Liquity (LQTY) — 82% gain

On Feb. 28, a NewsQuake™ alerted Cointelegraph Markets Pro members to a Binance announcement that it would list LQTY in its Innovation Zone. Just five hours later, the price skyrocketed from $1.42 to $2.58 — a remarkable rise of 82%!

LQTY is the native token of stablecoin lender Liquity. LQTY holders can stake their tokens to earn a portion of the fees generated by opening and closing loans.

Tweet Volume

The Tweet Volume indicator measures a project’s mentions and activity on the social media platform Twitter. The rationale behind using this data is that widespread, community-driven discussions can sometimes drive an asset’s price up or down.

Akropolis (AKRO) — 40% gain

*AKRO’s price chart after a 517% increase in Twitter Volume. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

The Tweet Volume Gainers chart continues to help subscribers track increases in interest and discussion — typically a bullish indication — as price movement often goes hand-in-hand with Twitter hype.

AKRO appeared on the Tweet Volume Gainers chart on Feb. 27 when it was trading at $0.005. Just four days later, its price climbed to $0.007 — a 40% increase!

AKRO is the governance token of the decentralized finance protocol Akropolis, which aims to provide an independent financial ecosystem for saving and growing wealth.

Most Active On-Chain Activity

As mentioned in a recent article about the Cointelegraph Markets Pro 2.0 update, the new Most Active On-Chain data shows users the five tokens with the largest increases in the number of active addresses on-chain in the last 24 hours versus a rolling average of the last 30 days.

Yearn.finance (YFI) — 16% gain

*Most Active On-Chain data from Feb. 27. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

On Feb. 27, YFI (YFI) topped the Most Active On-Chain Chart, showing Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers that it was the token that saw the biggest increase in active addresses on Polygon. At the time, it was trading at $9,448 — but four days later, the price rose over 16% to $10,998!

How to reap the benefits of Cointelegraph Markets Pro

These gains, which cumulatively add up to 179%, occurred over the week of Feb. 26 through March 4, 2023. It’s perhaps too idealistic to assume that subscribers captured all of this value, but even those who captured a fifth of it would’ve earned almost a 35% return.

This isn’t the first time Cointelegraph Markets Pro has produced weekly returns like these — in fact, it is a regular weekly occurrence. During the week of Feb. 19–25, the institutional-grade platform used these same four indicators to alert subscribers to potential gains of over 64%.

Another important note: The alerts for each of these moves were triggered before the move actually occurred. It’s easy to spot ideal entry opportunities in hindsight, but Cointelegraph Markets Pro uses institutional-grade technology to help traders spot these opportunities in real time, often before they happen.

There’s a catch though: Only Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers are privy to these alerts.

For those tired of sitting on the sidelines while other crypto traders lock in gains, there’s only one place to go.

Web3 platform partners with self-custody wallet to broaden crypto adoption in Africa

Cassava Network’s recent v3 product launch allows Africa’s Web2 users to get onboarded to Web3 while earning rewards and increasing their income.

Cassava Network — an African Web3 platform focused on nonfungible tokens (NFTs), gaming and loyalty rewards — has launched the third version of its platform, featuring integration with noncustodial smart contract wallet UniPass, allowing users to use email addresses instead of seed phrases and gas.

In a move to onboard Africans from Web2 to Web3, the partnership enables users who create Cassava accounts to automatically sign up on UniPass, and have access to holding, sending and receiving on-chain digital assets across multiple Ethereum Virtual Machine blockchains.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Cassava Network co-founder Mouloukou Sanoh explained how African users and businesses can use the new version to enter the Web3 space.

“With Cassava v3, we have made it easy for African users to interact with their favorite Web2 and Web3 brands. As users interact with these brands, they earn both CB Coins and other on-chain rewards specified by partners.”

Sanoh added that while CB Coins — the reward tokens used in the network — exist off-chain at the moment, users will be able to swap them for on-chain assets soon. CB can then be used to purchase concert tickets and mystery boxes on the platform.

*Cassava Network users can directly access to UniPass wallet thanks to the new partnership. Source: Cassava Network*

Regarding the use of the Cassava v3 for businesses, Sanoh said, “Cassava v3 provides a channel through which partners can grow their African market”. Business brands who partner with Cassava Network can also create communities on the network by using the new “community” feature to get engagement and followership on different platforms through task creation for users to engage in and earn rewards.

During the interview, Sanoh explained how the new version could improve the business economy in Africa. Sanoh said, “Cassava v3 serves as a bridge for global Web3 businesses to connect with African Web2 users.” Sanoh also mentioned that, so far, 90% of the partners engaging with the community feature of the Cassava v3 are African businesses.

7 ways women can earn passive income through cryptocurrency

More women are joining crypto by buying Bitcoin and other coins or tokens. Here’s how to make passive income through crypto and boost some returns.

How can women earn passive income by running a masternode?

One of the oldest and most effective ways to earn a crypto passive income is by running masternodes, contributing the computer power necessary to drive a blockchain.

A masternode is a type of full node in a blockchain network that performs additional functions beyond simply validating transactions. Masternodes typically require a significant amount of collateral in the form of the blockchain’s native cryptocurrency in order to operate, which incentivizes their owners to act in the best interest of the network.

That said, by operating a masternode, the investor will be rewarded with the blockchain’s native currency. In contrast with regular nodes, masternodes don’t add new blocks of transactions to the blockchain. Still, they verify new blocks and have unique roles in the blockchain’s governance, such as voting on changes to the ecosystem and running protocol operations.

Running a masternode requires some expertise but also a significant collateral investment. Investors should be prepared to buy a substantial stake in the native cryptocurrency, purchase more expensive computer hardware than the average laptop, and consider the running costs.

For this reason, masternodes can be seen as a long-term investment. Running a masternode may require a substantial initial commitment, but little effort is needed to keep it running once it is in use.

How can women make passive income from crypto lending?

Many crypto platforms offer investors the opportunity to lend the deposited crypto assets to borrowers in exchange for regular interest payments.

The interest can be paid daily, weekly or monthly in the cryptocurrency deposited for lending, and often, compound interest is provided, which includes the initial investments and the accumulated interest from the previous terms.

Both centralized and decentralized cryptocurrency providers may offer high-interest rates, sometimes as high as 20% APY, and require the borrower to deposit collateral to secure the crypto loan. Women who are considering crypto lending should be aware of the high risks of such investments, as high rewards may disguise a broken business model.

Platforms like Celsius or FTX used to offer high interest to their customers but went bankrupt in 2022 due to their high-risk leverage strategies.

How can women earn passive income via crypto savings accounts?

A woman with an account in a crypto exchange can earn interest on the cryptocurrency she holds on the platform through a crypto savings account.

Similar to a savings account that customers own with a traditional bank, a crypto savings account provider will lend, invest or stake crypto on behalf of the investor in exchange for a share of the profits in the form of regular interest payments.

The investor who agrees to lock up her crypto for extended periods may benefit from more favorable rates. Also, various crypto platforms encourage customers to hold their native tokens by offering higher interest rates.

However, there are risks involved, such as the volatility of cryptocurrency prices, hacking risks and platform-specific risks. Women should carefully research and assess the risks involved before investing in a crypto savings account and only invest after proper due diligence of projects under consideration.

How can women yield passive income through yield farming?

Yield farming or liquidity mining is a decentralized finance (DeFi) application requiring investors to lend crypto to others in exchange for some interest and other rewards.

Yield farming was created to incentivize liquidity providers (LPs) to stake or lock up their crypto assets in a liquidity pool based on a smart contract. They receive rewards in the form of network fees, loan interest payments, or native digital token rewards. The lock-up time the investor requires depends on the platform, and the interest earned is calculated in annual percentage yield (APY).

The next step after selecting a platform and cryptocurrency is to add liquidity by making a deposit into the platform. Users are rewarded with extra tokens or fees in return for supplying liquidity. Likewise, it is critical to monitor your rewards from yield farming and to stay informed of any adjustments made to the platform’s reward system.

While some platforms reward users more for supplying liquidity in a particular cryptocurrency, others reward users more for making longer-term investments. However, there are risks associated with yield farming, such as the potential loss of money due to changes in the market or flaws in the DeFi protocol. Women should use caution when investing and only risk money they can afford to lose.

Can women earn passive income via cloud mining?

Crypto cloud mining is a type of crypto mining that allows investors to earn Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies without buying, installing or maintaining any specific hardware or software equipment.

To start cloud mining, the investor must open an account with a legitimate mining farm, deposit digital or fiat currency funds, and purchase a certain amount of hashing power from the service provider. In exchange, the mining farm will reward participants with incentives based on the amount of hashing power they purchase.

There is no need for deep know-how or technical skills. However, it is essential to avoid severe mistakes that can be costly, such as choosing a fraudulent platform or neglecting the fine print, which may include extra costs making the investment not worthwhile.

Regardless, with cloud mining, participants do not have to worry about machinery noise, temperature, resource management or energy costs.

How can women extend their revenue stream through affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing in the crypto industry can be a way for women to extend their revenue stream by promoting crypto-related products or services to their followers or audience.

Many companies that offer crypto-related products or services have affiliate programs that allow individuals to earn commissions for promoting their products. Women can choose to promote products or services related to cryptocurrencies, such as hardware wallets, exchanges, trading platforms or educational resources.

The advantages of affiliate marketing include the possibility of using an existing audience to increase sales, the flexibility to work from anywhere and the ability to make passive income through commissions.

However, the potential for fraudulent or deceptive items, the risk of harming one’s reputation by endorsing inferior projects, and the risk of losing credibility with one’s audience if they perceive the promotion as spammy or insincere are all hazards involved with affiliate marketing.

How can women earn rewards for holding crypto via the staking mechanism?

Cryptocurrencies that operate through proof-of-stake mining offer users the opportunity to lock up one’s crypto holdings in a wallet for a certain period to obtain rewards or earn interest.

The mechanism discussed above is called crypto staking, which helps a network become more robust and efficient because it helps validate transactions in the blockchain, confirming that all transactions achieve consensus, are honest and follow the protocol’s rules.

There’s no need for deep know-how to stake crypto, and some exchanges enable cryptocurrencies to be staked automatically by users who hold eligible tokens in their accounts. Another way of staking is by keeping the cryptocurrency in a compatible wallet that allows users to participate in the networks’ consensus processes. In short, stakers approve and verify transactions on the blockchain and are rewarded for doing so.

Are women participants in crypto increasing?

The number of women investing in cryptocurrency continues to grow rapidly every year, with one in 10 women participating in the industry, according to a 2022 survey.

The digital era and the adoption of a new working and life model were accelerated during the pandemic, offering people the opportunity to work remotely. A work-from-home concept benefits women who traditionally undertake multiple tasks across family, career, home and child care.

Cryptocurrency investment may send women shivers down their spines; however, it may add several passive income streams, sometimes with little effort and in the comfort of their homes, maximizing returns on their crypto holdings. Finance and technology have traditionally been aligned with men’s interests and careers, but this is changing rapidly thanks to the advent of cryptocurrency.

Owning cryptocurrency may be an ideal way to invest in the long term depending on the risk-return profile of the investor. Women who’d like to invest in cryptocurrency for passive income have several options, depending on whether they have the time to learn technical skills or are ready to take risks.

Learning about the marketplace or a crypto provider’s reputation before investing is always safe, as that will make a massive difference in the overall performance of the strategy adopted. This article highlights a few work-from-home ideas for women to put their assets to work and add extra revenue to their monthly earnings.

Recapping Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s Crypto Winter Recovery Summit

The Crypto Winter Recovery Summit demonstrated how traders could’ve multiplied their investment by 120 while the market lost two-thirds of its value.

On its live summit, “The Crypto Winter Recovery Plan,” Cointelegraph Markets Pro revealed how traders could have mostly avoided a gut-wrenching 75% pullback in the crypto market while securing mind-boggling gains.

The Cointelegraph Markets Pro team argues that while hodlers tied their capital into a capitulating market, nimble Markets Pro members were able to capitalize on real-time, institutional-grade crypto market intelligence to capture significant risk-adjusted profits. The results were staggering!

Cointelegraph Markets Pro traders could’ve secured returns up to 120 times their initial investment — 12,000%, not 120% — using alerts initiated by the NewsQuakes™ indicator, one of several indicators found in its easy-to-use dashboard…

*Returns trading on news alerts. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro*

Meaning anybody who would have bought every NewsQuakes™ listing alert and held it for just one hour, from January 2021 until November 2022, would have turned every $100 into $12,000, and every $10,000 into $1.2 million. While over the same period, the crypto market lost two-thirds of its total value.

The secret to the outperformance is the Cointelegraph Markets Pro platform. During the live event, the Cointelegraph Markets Pro team argued that the platform is the most actionable crypto trading service in the world — and the results support this claim.

Last year, a small group of traders used the platform to generate an average of 17 winning double-digit trades per month, with some triple-digit winners mixed in:

148% gain on DIGG in 84 hours
127% gain on XMON in 36 hours
111% gain on EUL in 36 hours
152% gain on SANTOS in 96 hours
148% gain on STG in 12 hours

At its core, Cointelegraph Markets Pro is an institutional-grade trading platform that relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to produce alerts for potential price movements before they occur.

Historically, this kind of technology was privy only to Wall Street’s elite. Now, the same AI-driven technology institutions use to beat the market is available to retail investors.

“It’s really the only crypto trading platform in the world that alerts you to a combination of social media activity and big, market-moving news in real time… before most crypto traders know the information is impacting the market,” said Cointelegraph Markets Pro director Russell DeCorte.

The Cointelegraph Markets Pro platform is not a trading system or a trading bot; rather, it’s a robust, institutional-grade crypto market intelligence platform. The platform feeds traders alerts in real time based on its three flagship indicators.

1. NewsQuakes™

The NewsQuakes™ indicator delivers real-time alerts generated by developments that impact asset prices the most. Prime examples of NewsQuakes™ include exchange listings and partnership announcements.

2. VORTECS™ Scores

The VORTECS™ Score compares a variety of factors including an asset’s current sentiment, Twitter activity, trading volume and price movement to its historical data and produces a score between 1 to 100. A high score suggests that current market conditions for an asset have historically been bullish within the last 24 hours.

Traders used the VORTECS™ Score to generate the following returns:

66% gain on ALEPH in 36 hours
44% gain on RAD in 48 hours
33% gain on HXRO in 24 hours

The opposite is also true for the VORTECS™ Score, meaning a low score typically correlates to bearish conditions for the asset.

3. Tweet Sentiment

This indicator measures the positivity or negativity of the chatter on Twitter surrounding an individual coin. The cryptocurrency market is extremely sensitive to sentiment, which is the prevailing attitude that investors have toward any given coin. The sentiment ranges from positive to neutral to negative.

Armed with these three powerful tools, traders were able to capture:

99% gain on MNW in 24 hours
125% gain on SWINGBY in 72 hours
208% gain on BSW in 4 hours
99% gain on PRQ in 96 hours
167% gain on WING in 72 hours

Here’s the craziest part — these gains were captured in a six-month period when the market dropped 60%. Picture reaping a 208% gain on BSW in four hours, while hodlers watched their portfolio tank by over half. The monetary appreciation is exceptional, of course, but the emotional gain may even be more rewarding.

Sophisticated doesn’t mean complex

While the Cointelegraph Markets Pro platform involves some complex AI technology, it was designed to be easy to use by an individual retail trader. The summit explained this with clarity; profiting from a Newsquakes™ alert, for example, can be a simple five-step process:

Receive a Newsquakes™ alert.
Go to the Newsquakes™ page on Cointelegraph Markets Pro.
Go to the Newsquakes™ highlights and sort by “latest” to find the recent alert.
Click the token name in the list to go to the individual token-listing page.
Scroll to the “most liquid pairs” section, pick an exchange and click “trade.”

That’s all there is to it!

How are crypto launchpads revolutionizing the DeFi industry?

The Web3 capital ecosystem has its own version of accelerator programs in crypto launchpads. But are these beneficial models?

How can DeFi projects benefit from launchpads?

There are several crypto launchpads, such as DAO Maker and BSCPad, that successfully operated through the previous crypto cycle. As the next crypto cycle kicks off, cryptocurrency launchpads could be a key cog in the ecosystem.

For a project to get incubated by a launchpad, it must submit extensive details to get vetted. Some of the key operational details required are permission to perform a Know Your Customer check on stakeholders, information on partners, existing investors and advisers, status of smart contract audits, the quality of user base and unit economics.

The level of due diligence that crypto launchpads conduct is essential particularly in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. DeFi has been plagued by smart contract vulnerabilities, oracle breaches and cross chain bridge hacks. A thorough smart contract audit from a reputable audit firm can help put the investors’ mind at rest.

Therefore, for the Web3 world to flourish, effective operation of crypto launchpads is crucial — especially when the right projects with good-quality products and vision need to be identified. The model is still in its infancy and must focus on better-quality launchpad communities with a track record that spans multiple crypto cycles. This practice would make launchpads a foundational building block of the Web3 ecosystem.

What benefits do crypto launchpads provide for stakeholders in the ecosystem?

There is a tripartite dynamic in the Web3 ecosystem that encompasses the investor, the project and the community. But what does each player get for being on the launchpad?

The most important benefit for the startup listing on a launchpad is the capital it gets from investors and community members of the launchpad. Retail investors who visit the launchpad will have the ability to look at Web3 projects listed, understand the team behind the projects along with the type of community the project has nurtured, and can invest their capital into curated opportunities.

Web3 projects get credibility after getting listed on a launchpad, which is critical in the ecosystem. Crypto launchpads also offer a plethora of services to early-stage crypto entrepreneurs, such as tokenomics advice, marketing inputs, investor introductions and other ancillary business services. Crypto launchpads are the Web3 equivalent of incubators and accelerators in the Web2 space.

Despite these benefits, launchpads can only be as good as the quality of the community members and the key people in the community who bring the right investment opportunities. Web2 has got it right with organizations like Y Combinator, Startupbootcamp and several others pioneering the accelerator model. Web3 has yet to see such a legacy develop.

Finally, for the Web3 ecosystem, crypto launchpads have successfully created a framework to cut out the noise and identify projects that merit investors’ attention. As a result, the number of scams and rug pulls on investors should reduce as the model matures, which in turn will benefit the Web3 ecosystem on sentiment and reputational perspective.

Why is a crypto launchpad required?

Crypto launchpads offers communities access to high quality deals curated by experienced investors from the community itself.

One primary reason why crypto launchpads exist is to give investors access to information that will aid in their decision making for investing in cryptocurrency projects. This can be a critical differentiator in a bull market, when it is hard for even the experienced investor to cut out the noise and pick good investment opportunities with sound fundamentals.

The second reason why crypto launchpads are critical to Web3 is to offer the retail investors access to high-quality deals. In the Web2 world, retail investors generally do not get access to high-quality projects before they are listed on an exchange. They also do not have experts vetting the financials of companies and providing detailed due diligence reports.

Access to high-quality deals and ease of decision-making based on well-researched information on potential investments are privileges only a few enjoy in Web2. With a decentralized model, launchpads — aka crypto accelerators — have opened up access for retail audiences to high-quality investment opportunities.

What is a crypto launchpad?

Crypto launchpads bring together the ethos of decentralized ecosystems and the ability of that community to make trustless investments.

The cryptocurrency industry and Web3 have been a hotbed of innovation that has put the community at the forefront. It thrives on the proliferation of decentralized ecosystems, breaking away from central hegemony by various incumbent bodies. The advent of crypto launchpads could be the beginning of a decentralized venture capital model.

The era of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) paved the way to new altcoins. However, by the end of 2022, there were over 16,000 cryptocurrencies. How can an enthusiastic investor pick good projects from so many? True to its ethos around decentralization, one of the most fascinating innovations that brings together investors, projects, innovators and the retail audience is a crypto launchpad. What do these launchpads do?

Crypto launchpads facilitate investments and empower investors to make informed decisions through rigorous due diligence. They take the pain of curating investment opportunities from retail investors and offer them the ability to invest into cryptocurrency projects at preferential terms on valuations.

Retail investors who want to participate in these investment rounds will buy the tokens of the crypto launchpads. Depending on token holding quantity, investors are typically bucketed under tiers that determine the access and valuations they get with investment opportunities.

Terms that investors get from these launchpads vary from preferential to exclusive. Preferential investment terms are generally in line with what other investors get. However, launchpad tokenholders get first preference to invest into those opportunities. Exclusive terms are those that are offered only to launchpad tokenholders. Either way, launchpad participants benefit from the structure.
