There’s definitely a push underway to stifle crypto trading. Etoro today stopped leveraged trades on crypto and put brakes on traders closing crypto positions for reasons that are unclear. They’ve also disallowed shorting cryptos by traders in many counties.
Several Western governments have flat banned their nationals from trading crypto over the platform. Ripple and US citizens being a good recent example. Many traders switched across to Binance and other platforms today in protest.
Social traders seem to be rushing to baskets of crypto, Tesla, gold, oil and to a lesser extent, other leading Nasdaq companies - irrespective of their actual business fundamentals.
Interesting times.
