Well, that played out exactly how the history books said it would. Powell held rates at 3.5–3.75%, dropped a hawkish bomb about 2.7% inflation projections, and Bitcoin ate a 5% haircut within hours. BTC went from flirting with $76K on Monday to sitting at $70,400 by Thursday morning. The fear index? Down to 23. Extreme fear. And $708 million walked out of spot ETFs in a single day — the biggest outflow since January. For on-demand analysis of any cryptocurrency, join our Telegram channel. Why I’m Looking at Solana, Not Bitcoin Here’s my thinking. BTC just got rejected at $75K for…

If you already have an Angel One demat account — and 27 million Indians do — the obvious question is whether you actually need another app to trade US stocks. Angel One added international investing in 2024 through its partnership with Vested Finance’s infrastructure, giving it access to US equities. CoinDCX went a different direction entirely, building INR-settled US stock futures that require no forex, no LRS paperwork, and no waiting three days for a SWIFT wire to clear. These two platforms are not really competing for the same trader. Understanding where each wins — and where each falls short…

Police warn against transferring money or crypto to strangers to avoid fraud. Fraudsters impersonating experts tricked the victim into losing all his savings. In total, the elderly victim lost HK$6.6 million after being misled by fraudsters posing as cryptocurrency experts, according to local reports.

Proprietary trading firms — commonly called prop firms — operate on a deceptively simple premise: they supply traders with simulated capital to trade, and in exchange, successful traders retain a percentage of the simulated profits they generate. The key implication for beginners is that evaluation rules, drawdown thresholds, profit targets, and payout conditions become the primary variables to master — not just market analysis. A trader who consistently identifies high-probability setups but ignores a firm’s daily loss limit will fail just as surely as one who cannot read a chart. The prop trading industry has grown dramatically since 2020, with…

CoinDCX US Futures and INDmoney are structurally different in the same way CoinDCX and Vested are — but INDmoney has one meaningful differentiator over Vested: UPI deposits via Federal Bank that can settle in 12–24 hours, significantly faster than SWIFT. INDmoney also offers a super-app experience covering Indian stocks, mutual funds, EPF, insurance, and US stocks in one place — and a GIFT City ‘Direct Access’ route via NSEIX alongside its standard LRS ‘Global Access’ route. CoinDCX wins on leverage (20x), short-selling, 24/7 trading, and same-session INR execution. INDmoney wins on real stock ownership, SIPC protection, UPI deposit speed, the…

CoinDCX US Futures and Vested Finance are not competitors — they’re completely different products targeting different types of US stock traders. Vested gives you real ownership of US stocks and ETFs via the LRS route: dividends, SIPC protection, 5,000+ assets, long-only, INR-to-USD conversion, 2–3 day settlement. CoinDCX US Futures gives you leveraged INR-settled derivative exposure: 24/7 trading, shorting, up to 20x leverage, instant IMPS deposit, but no ownership, no dividends, funding costs, and only 20+ stocks. Choose Vested if you’re building long-term wealth in US equities. Choose CoinDCX US Futures if you’re an active trader who wants leverage, shorting, or…

Ethereum (ETH) traded at $2,100 at the time of writing, up almost 1% over 24 hours and 4% over the past seven days.
