A trailing stop is a dynamic type strategy that allows users to configure a percentage drop from peak market value that would trigger the full closing of a position once reached. While with a standard Stop loss, a position would get closed at a fixed price, a

Unless The Merge sends Ether to the moon, Ethereum die-hards shouldn’t fear a fire sale when the post-Merge “Shanghai” upgrade takes effect next year, according to a new report from crypto analytics firm Nansen.

Crypto was supposed to be unstoppable. But when the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
