Thanks for making it like a wonderful lecture to us.

Explain Crypto Assets Diversification

As per the coinmarketcap, we having nearly we having 12189+ assets in our crypto market. Day by day those count increasing.

But those are we divide into 3 types based on their market cap. Like High cap, Midcap and low cap.

But we don't have that's many portfolios to invest in each project. So we filter some projects based on their Supply, Market cap, Social Activeness, Road map, Events and many more.

In those projects, we invest generally. But in some cases our Research does not work properly, we choose the wrong project for investing needs.

If that project not performed well, then we lose all our portfolio. Here for retrieving back, it took a long time.

If we invest in 2 to 4 projects on dividing our portfolio into 4 projects. If 1 project not performed well, then the other 3 invested projects save our portfolio. Here less risk is involved and also we can manage our portfolio very well.

Simply Don't put all Eggs in One basket, the same strategy we follow in our crypto investments also.

Crypto Assets Diversification means divide portfolios into parts and invests that money in different projects. This strategy is known as Crypto Assets Diversification.

Divide And Invest

Here is possible to mitigate risk if one or more projects perform poorly. So possible to manage our portfolio very well.

Any Investor main goal is to maximize Profits and Eliminate risks. For this, they use a lot of strategies based on their portfolio. From this Crypto Assets Diversification strategy is the most powerful and most used strategy in the crypto industry.

Not only in crypto we follow this strategy in our real-life also. ..

For Example in traditional investment, we invest in stocks, Mutual Funds along with Gold, and also routine money for small interests sometimes. All those we do on deciding our money, then invest different ways. Here we follow this strategy for maximizing our profits and eliminate risks.

If one investment of stocks dump harbour Gold investment money save us. If Gold dump harbour Mutual Investment money save us. For these needs, we always try to invest in different ways.

Here indirectly we following the Diversification strategy.

This Strategy not only in Traditional Market work but also works well in Crypto assets Investments needs also.

Why Is Crypto Portfolio Diversification Important?

Now we understand the meaning of Diversification. Now we try to understand its Importance.

Unlike a majority of traditional assets, the digital assets market is quite volatile. Because here we see 50% dump in single asset within 15 mi its time frame also. Like those situations, we don't get in the traditional market.

In the crypto market prices of different assets move in different directions. Those changes we see in every day, every hour or some times in very short period we see big pumps or dumps in market.

We handle all those situations very easily by applying Crypto Portfolio Diversification Strategy. Here we invest different coins. If one asset dumps another investment save us.

For Example, Bitcoin gets a 50% dump, Ethereum dump 25% but Defi coins start moving opposite of Bitcoin move. The pump is 30% against the Bitcoin move.

If we invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum and Defi coins.

In this situation, your overall portfolio does not get any changes in this Downtrend market also. Because your Defi coin investment saves you from the brutal dump.

So here you reduce your risk by using a Diversification Strategy.

That's why the Crypto Portfolio Diversification strategy plays a big role in managing our portfolio to minimize our risks and Maximizing our profits.

What are the Benefits/effects of Diversifying one's assets?

In any strategy, we having some positive points along with negative points also.

So before applying any strategy on our investment, we must aware of both.

Benefits of asset diversification

Reduces the impact of market volatility

Crypto is a volatile market. No one knows what happens next. From investing in different coins it reduces major losses due to volatility. Because if one asset not performed well, other coins performed well, from this we can average our Total Portfolio very easily.So possible to reduce the impact of market volatility on our portfolio.

Reduces the time spent in monitoring the portfolio

Here we investing our money in different coins based on our research. So here it doesn't take a lot of time to monitor those, Already we did need research.

So here we don't get any changes in our portfolio. So need further monitoring on our portfolio.

Helps seek advantage of different investments.

Here we invest in different assets. Some offer staking opportunities, some offer airdrops for holding, some is useful for participating in IDOs.

Like that different benefits, we get on holding different assets.

Helps achieve long-term investment plans

Here we investing our money in different assets. Some coins performed well in volatile markets also. From this, we get good returns.

In the long run Diversification investments give good returns.

Helps avail of the benefit of different Trends

We know in crypto trade may change very faster. Some days we see IDOs Trend, Then NFT, Then Defi and many more changes we see daily.

But identifying trends at the correct time is not so easy.

If we invest our money in different trending coins, then possible to grab more returns on it.

Helps keep the capital safe

Investors always give first preference to protect their portfolio. Then only he thinks for profits.

In a crypto volatile market, he always tries to play on the safe side, Don't take high risks.

Diversification allows investors to achieve their investment plans very well. Because Diversification main moto is Minimizing Risk and Maximizing Profits.

Lets you shuffle amongst investments


Diversification allows investors to invest in different coins based on Market Movement. So possible to garb huge opportunities, possible to increase its overall profits also.

Offers peace of mind


Due to Diversification, we can manage our portfolio in any volatile market. So we don't see major changes in our portfolio so we get peace of mind in any market condition.

Here it avoids Fomo, fud, and Allow Controlling our emotion on seeing Dumping or Trending Market also.

From all this, we get peace of mind.

Like that lot of benefits, we get from Diversification Strategy.

Disadvantages of Diversifying one's assets:-

Reduces Profits:-


Diversification not only minimizes the risk but also reduce profit.

Here we investing our money in different coins.

If one performed well, remaining not performed not possible to get good profit but we reduce our risk.

Besides this, if we invest all our money incorrect assets at the correct time, then possible to get high returns in a short period.

Like that opportunity, we miss in the Diversification strategy.

Too Complicated


Here we investing the money in different coins. For selecting coins we need to do a lot of research on it. For this need, we need to invest a lot of time.

Filtering coins is too complicated, it's not an easy task.

Transaction fees:-


For investing different coins we also need to pay huge transactions fees for each purchase needs.

Here we losing our hard earning money for Transaction needs.

In Exchange is ok for a fee, but you choose different coins in ETH related, those only available in DEX, then huge money simply go for swaps needs only.

For small investors, this strategy is not possible to use.

Bad Investment Vehicles


If our coin selection is wrong, then again we see a huge dump in our portfolio. So in this situation Diversification strategy does not work well.

Hard To Manage Different Assets:-


In the Diversification strategy, we invest in different coins. Managing those at a time it's very hard for us.

Checking each projects updates, charts, and other things every day, it's not so easy.

Managing plenty of coins in a wallet is not so easy task.

Like that lot of Disadvantages, we having in Diversification Strategy.

Construct Crypto Assets Diversification according to the 1 - 4 Rule - Choose 4 crypto assets to discuss each of the assets, and perform a detailed fundamental/technical analysis on them.

Now we need the meaning of Diversification, It's Benefits and Effects along with its Importance too.

For applying this strategy now we need to pick coins from the market. For this we need to do some Fundamental and Technical analysis, Then only in those coins, we can do our investments.

I choose DOT, VeChain, Cake and FTM as present and Upcoming trend needs.

My Investment in using 1-4 Diversification Strategy.


Already I choose 4 coins for my investment needs. For selecting my investment needed coins I do my fundamental and Technical Analysis.

This is my verified Binance Account.


iMarkup_20211001_150311.jpg

My Verified Binance Account

In my wallet, I have $90, But now I don't invest all money in my selected coins. Because the Market is in a Downtrend, so if my invested coins dump hard, on using the remaining amount I do Dollar Cost Average. For further needs, I hold some money and investing $60 in total. For each coin, I decided to spend $15 on each coin. So total $60 investment.

Explain Arbitrage Trading in Cryptocurrency and its benefits


Arbitrage means leveraging profits to our advantage. In the Crypto market, we having a lot of trading platforms like Centralized Exchanges and Decentralized Exchanges. Here we can trade different coins with different platforms. Due to Liquidity, Users and some other reasons, we see some price differences in some coins.

Just finding those, here we can do arbitrage tradings. From this, we earn quick profits very easily.

Means simply buying a coin at a low price, then selling the same coin in another Exchange for a higher price. In this process, we need to handle the withdrawal fee, and also on doing a small amount we don't get that's many profits. Need some reasonable money for doing arbitrage trades.

In general crypto trading, there is a high risk involved due to volatility. We always need to focus on price action, and market conditions, then only we get profitable trades.

Crypto arbitrage is also one type of trading technique. But here we need to take our decisions faster, and move founds related to it. Here we get profits based on our speed, efficiency, network speed and many more things helps us to book quick profits.

If we do slowly then there is a chance of sudden price drop also, so possible to get lost also. Because all traders try to fo utilise this arbitrage opportunity, so we can sudden pumps and dumps in that coin in a fraction of seconds. So need caution on doing arbitrage trades.

For Example, if you see Dot trading around $25 in Binance, at the same in Kucoin it trading $26, here we get the opportunity for doing arbitrage Trade here.

Simply Buying Dot in Binance, withdraw to Kucoin, then selling Dot at $26. We get good profit within a short time. This type of tradings is known as Arbitrage Tradings.

Like those trades is possible as long as crypto markets are not perfect.

Benefits of Crypto Arbitrage:-

  • Fast Profits

    Here for doing Transaction it took less than 10 to 20 minutes. So can book profits in this short period. So we see fast profits on doing Arbitrage Trades.

    -Wide Range Of Opportunities

    As per coinmarketcap, we having more than 400+ Exchanges in the crypto market. So we get plenty of opportunities on doing arbitrage trades in different coins every day.
  • The Crypto Market is Still Development

    Still, the crypto market is not welcome by the public. We having a lot of issues with accepting crypto. Each country having their restrictions also. Due to this irregularity, disjointing, and lack of information transfer between exchanges. We get a lot of prices difference in coin price. So we can utilise those opportunities.
  • Crypto Currencies are Still Volatile

    All we know is how much volatility we having in the crypto market. Due to supply, demand and liquidity based we see assets price differences in different Exchanges. So here we get a good opportunity to doing arbitrage trades.

Disadvantages of Crypto Arbitrage

Here how many benefits we get that's much risk also involved in doing arbitrage trades. We also need knowledge on it for getting profitable arbitrage trades.

-KYC Restrictions

This big issue for doing arbitrage trades. Some exchanges do not allow us to Withdraw/Deposit along with Buy/Sell without finishing our KYC.

But for arbitrage needs we need to use Different Exchanges, so need to finish KYC in different exchanges for this arbitrage trades needs. But here high risk involved, on giving our original information to Exchanges is not a good choice. There is a chance to misuse those. That's why we do KYC in Trusted Exchanges only.

-Fees

Crypto Exchanges do not allow us to do trade, Withdraw without a fee. Some took a Deposit fee also. So before doing arbitrage trade we need to calculate trading, withdraw and another fee also. If we good profit after eliminating those few, then only we go for arbitrage trades otherwise is not a good choice for us.

  • Large Investment give Good Profit

    For doing arbitrage trade we need to invest a large amount, then possible to book good profits. On doing arbitrage with the low amount not possible to book profits.

    -Withdrawal Limits

    Some Exchanges set withdrawal limits also. More than that limit not possible to withdraw so not possible to book good profits here.
  • Timing

    Sometimes it took a long time for Withdrawal and Transaction needs. In the meantime, there is a chance to move the market in opposite direction. So possible to a get huge loss also.
  • Competition

    Not only you, there is a lot of other traders who also try to do arbitrage trades. From this, they reduce volatile and maintain volume in different Exchanges. This may also reduce our arbitrage opportunities for others.

Like that we having Advantages along with Disadvantages on doing arbitrage Tradings.

Discuss with illustration how to take advantage of Exchange Arbitrage.


Exchange Arbitrage means buy coins in one Exchange with a low price, withdraw those to another Exchange, then selling those at a higher price. This type of tradings is known as Exchange Arbitrage.

For example, in the below example here you see Dash coin price differences in Different Exchanges At a time.


iMarkup_20211001_151526.jpg

Dash Price in BitBns Exchange

In BitBns Exchange, Dash trading around $82 but has no volume to buy there.


iMarkup_20211001_151635.jpg

Dash Price in Binance Exchange

In Binance it Trading around $156.2 with good volume.


iMarkup_20211001_151728.jpg

Dash Price In Wazirx

In Wazirx it trading around $153.90 with good volume.

So here we can do Exchange Arbitrage between Binance and Wazirx but not possible to do it in Bitbns Because there is no volume so our orders do not get executed.

But on buying Dash in Wazirx, Sell in Binance we get a good profit if we did faster, otherwise, our profits reduce.

Here we do trading in the Same Coin but Buying at low in One Exchange, again selling those at higher Immediately in another Exchange. That's why we called those Tradings Exchange Arbitrage Tradings.

Creatively discuss Triangular Arbitrage in Cryptocurrency. How to identify Triangular Arbitrage opportunities and the risks involved.


A triangular arbitrage opportunity occurs when the exchange rate of a currency does not match the cross-exchange rate.

Like those opportunities, we get rarely. Identifying those is also not so easy.

Like those opportunities, we get when one market is in an uptrend and another market is in a Downtrend. In this situation only we get to do Triangular Arbitrage. This type of trade occurs in one Exchange itself.

Like those opportunities, we generally get in foreign currencies. On doing foreign currency tradings also we earn quick profits here.

For Example same holding $1000 USDT in his hand. He observes price differences in Euros and ponds with respect to Dollars.


triangular-arbitrage-opportunity.png

Difference Between Currencies

Source

As per the above image, Using cross -rate formula, he find the €/£ rate is undervalued.

So he decided to apply Triangular arbitrage here. So here first he sells Dollars to Euros. Then Euros to Pounds, then again Pounds to Dollars.

Now we see exact calculations, at finally how much profits he gets from doing this type of trades.

Here same holding $1000.

  1. Sell Dollars for Euros

1000×0.8678=€867.8

  1. Sell Euros for Pounds

€867.8/1.3021=£666.461

  1. Sell Pounds For Dollars

£666.461×1.5028=1001.557

So total profit is around $1.5, here we using $1000 if he uses $100000 in this trade he can earn $150000 very easily.

It's very huge profit in a short period. But for doing Triangle Arbitrage we need huge money for booking good profit.

Here Sam invested $1000 and earn around $1.5 as a profit. If he invests huge money then he earns huge profits. But here we do not include trading fees, if we include those in our profit, then our profits reduce based on trading fee.

How to identify Triangular Arbitrage opportunities.

  • In Triangular Arbitrage, we need to trade between three currencies.

  • Must Identify the cross rate and implied cross rate before going for the trade.

  • If you find differences between currencies after applying cross rate and implied cross rate strategy then, we go for arbitrage trade, if it does not give any profit then it's a waste of time to do Triangular Arbitrage here.

  • To identify an arbitrage opportunity, traders can use this basic cross-currency value equation:

A/B x B/C x C/A = 1, Here A is Base Currency, B and D are counter currencies which we use for doing Triangular Arbitrage.

  • If the equation does not equal one, then we get the opportunity for doing Triangular Arbitrage between currencies.

So before going for the year must apply the above equation, if out pit more than 1 then we can go for trade, otherwise, it's invalid.

For Example, traders find these Differences in currencies like EUR/USD 1.1325, USD/GBP 0.7805, GBP/EUR 1.4528.

As per the formula first, we multiply all, need to identify total value is more than 1 or not.

1.1325 × 0.7805 × 1.4528 = 1.2841

So here we having the opportunity for doing Triangular Arbitrage between those currencies.

If we having €10000 in our hands.

  • First Step first sell Euros to Dollars at a rate of 1.1325.

10000 × 1.1325 = 11325

So we get $11325 here.

In- Second Step we need to sell this dollar into GBP for 0.7805

SO 11325 × 0.7805 = 8,839.1625

So we get £8,839.1625(GBP)

  • Now again we need to convert this GBP to our Base Currency Euros for 1.4528.

So 8839.1625 × 1.4528 =12,841.53528

So he gets back around €12841.53528.

From this trade, his pure profit was around €2841.53538. But from this we need to remove the trading fee, then remains we consider as profit.

On doing Triangular Arbitrage we earn quick profit in a short period.
