Looking back at the first part of 2018, we saw major events impacting the world’s economies - the crypto market went on a rollercoaster ride, the U.S. withdrew from NAFTA and a Trade War was launched, to name a few. As we head into the second half of the year, let’s review your 5 most-read stories for the first half of this year.
Since the meteoric rise of Bitcoin in the public’s eye during 2017, cryptocurrencies have started to gain serious momentum, with more and more coins popping up.
3 of the 5 top stories during that 6-month period were crypto-related, showing us the increase in demand for information about cryptocurrencies.
Furthermore, of the 15-most-read stories of the same time period, only 3 were not crypto-related. Does this indicate a clear investing trend for the future?
Trading in financial instruments and/or cryptocurrencies involves high risks including the risk of losing some, or all, of your investment amount, and may not be suitable for all investors. Prices of cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile and may be affected by external factors such as financial, regulatory or political events. Trading on margin increases the financial risks.
Before deciding to trade in financial instrument or cryptocurrencies you should be fully informed of the risks and costs associated with trading the financial markets, carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite, and seek professional advice where needed.
