Cryptos vs Traditional Markets
The cryptocurrency market is a relatively new world with respect to the rest of existing markets, which have decades in development, regulation and audits, and it is these last three points that mark the main differences between these and cryptocurrencies.
It is interesting everything that happens today and how all this has evolved, which is why, now cryptocurrencies are on everyone's lips, however, when this began, it was only Bitcoin in a completely traditional world and then it was seen as one more digital currency of the lot, but it was so because not everyone understood the subject of an encrypted currency, decentralized and flowing on a blockchain, that is, completely new terms for everyone and that would cause a drastic change in how money is tranza.
Bitcoin is already useful and superior to government-issued money in countries suffering from hyperinflation such as Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Bitcoin is also used to circumvent currency controls in China and India. Even in these cases, Bitcoin competes with other, less legal alternatives due to lack of ecosystem adoption and government bans.
Main differences between cryptocurrencies and traditional markets
24/7: Cryptocurrency Markets Have No Rest
This is probably one of the features that most attracts the attention of investors in traditional markets. To give some context, the reference to "traditional markets" is mainly linked to the stock market, currency exchange (Forex), commodities and indices.
Unlike other financial instruments, a 24/7 structure is a breakthrough for those who want to profit at any time through short-term trading and even intraday trading. Forex pairs do not trade on weekends, while stocks and indices are usually available around 7 hours p/day.
Very low commissions and spreads
Although this depends strictly on the platform selected to trade, the commissions for cryptocurrency exchange and trading are usually very low. This is especially true when trading real cryptocurrencies on exchanges, where trading fees are usually in the order of 0.5%.
In a broker, contracts (CFDs or futures) are traditionally used for the placement of positions. The cost is higher and similar to that of traditional markets such as exchange-traded funds or ETFs, this comes with benefits such as the use of advanced trading tools such as opening short positions or using leverage.
Versatility and Use Cases: Taking Advantage of Cryptocurrencies
In the crypto market the possession of the asset is something very common, when we trade with cryptocurrencies we acquire the same, since the main market in real exchange and not contracts.
On the other hand, when an investor buys an ounce of gold or a barrel of oil, it is immensely likely that their investment is based on a paper or contract, where the holder guarantees to pay the difference at the close of the contract.
