Hello! If this is your first time reading my content, I wanted to introduce myself: my name is Waldo and I am in charge of LocademiaCripto, my own space to communicate my experiences and analysis about cryptocurrencies. I am from Argentina, so I speak Spanish, but I also publish content in English on other digital media.
I'll leave this featured post as my introduction. I am a normal person like you, not a company or agency. I am a professional in economic sciences, dedicated to advising on finances, investments, crypto projects and much more.
I have reduced the frequency of my posts because, being alone in charge of all this and also teaching privately, my free time quota has quickly filled up. I sincerely thank everyone for their patience and trust.
If you need a hand or advice, feel free to interact with me here or search my site, LocademiaCripto. I'll be happy to help you. Follow my profile for more updates! You already know what it doeseeeeeeer!!!
Here are some truths about Binance #listing that no one tells you (until today, when you find out because you follow LocademiaCripto):
1) Buying a cryptocurrency doesn't mean you're going to make a 10% profit in the next few hours.
2) Buying right at the listing launch (after a #Launchpool or #Launchpad ) doesn't mean you'll make instant money. When you buy, someone is selling to you... and when you sell, someone is buying from you. Both parties think they're making a good deal and earning money, think again.
3) Why do cryptocurrencies (from Launchpool or Launchpad) DROP after they're listed? To answer this, you have to understand that these cryptocurrencies are in the hands of users. That means there's supply (selling pressure) in the market. Of course, sellers want to sell higher... but if nobody "buys" up there, the price will drop, looking for buyers who want to buy the asset.
4) When does the price rise right after listing? The price of the asset rises until a seller appears to sell to the buyer. In the first few seconds of a launch (when a new cryptocurrency is listed), nobody sells because there's supposed to be NO supply. So, all the buyers who want to buy can't find someone selling at the price they want, so the price "rises".
5) So... considering the above, if it's a launchpool or launchpad, does it mean there's already SUPPLY as soon as the coin is listed? Yes, however, you'll see that in the first few seconds, the price "rises". That's because as soon as it's listed, there are ALWAYS buyers who want to "buy" at the first selling price, and no matter how much supply there is, they NEVER sell in the first few minutes... which causes the price to rise like foam... until it starts to balance (unfortunately, dropping).

Memecoins have been the dominant narrative this year, generating significant activity among traders. Given that they have also been the best-performing sector so far this year, with an impressive return of 280%, it’s no surprise they have garnered so much interest.
Chains like #Solana and #Base have been popular routes for #memecoin🚀🚀🚀 trading, benefiting from increased on-chain activity and a rise in daily active addresses. As previously shown in LocademiaCripto, the number of weekly DEX traders on Solana skyrocketed from around 455,000 to 2.9 million at its peak in June, nearly a sixfold increase. Base has also outperformed several other chains in this metric, averaging over 1 million weekly DEX traders in July. While not all this growth can be attributed exclusively to memecoins, they have undoubtedly played a crucial role in boosting activity on these chains.
The token supply structures of memecoins have also contributed to their popularity. Many memecoins have all their tokens unlocked and circulating from the TGE, eliminating the selling pressure from future dilutions. Many have a market cap equal to the fully diluted valuation, indicating that holders won’t suffer additional dilution from token emissions. This structure has partly played a role in the appeal of memecoins, especially as awareness grows about the effects of significant token unlocks, even if the tokens may lack utility.
It will be interesting to observe how this popularity evolves in the coming months and whether memecoins can continue to be a dominant force in the market.

Activity on Solana's DEXs has been increasing and showing strength over the past six months. A key factor behind this surge has been memecoins, which have been the most prominent narrative this year and central to Solana's growth. Many traders have chosen Solana as their preferred chain for trading memes, thanks to its relatively low transaction fees and its cohesive, non-fragmented suite of products.
Solana has also generated organic memecoin activity through the airdrop of the memecoin BONK to Solana Saga Mobile owners. As we know, BONK has become one of the leading memecoins this cycle, along with other Solana-based tokens like WIF.
As shown in the screenshot, weekly DEX traders on Solana have experienced significant growth compared to the rest of the market, reaching new all-time highs. While not entirely attributable to memecoin trading, this has likely been a key factor in the growth.
The launch and growth of pump.fun have also been crucial to the memecoin narrative on Solana. Pump.fun is a simple platform dedicated to the creation and trading of memecoins. It addresses classic issues of unfair distribution and rug pulls by ensuring each token is a fair launch, with no presale and no team allocations. Since users can create and deploy a new memecoin in about 2 minutes for 0.02 SOL, this platform has significantly expanded the memecoin trading market on Solana. Over 1.5 million new memecoins have been deployed through pump.fun, while the platform has generated more than 512K SOL in revenue (approximately $86 million).

Re-staking, which allows users to reuse their already staked tokens to provide security for other applications, has been a dominant narrative in #Ethereum over the past six months.
#EigenLayer , the largest and one of the pioneering projects in this sector, has led this narrative and dominates the majority of the total value locked (TVL) in the market.
Currently, EigenLayer holds $16 billion in TVL, representing more than 85% of the total market. To summarize briefly, EigenLayer allows Ethereum stakers to reuse their staked ETH to secure other applications (known as Actively Validated Services or "AVS"). Stakers can select these services and earn a yield for doing so. In return, they agree to grant EigenLayer additional slashing rights over their staked ETH.

If you usually make money when prices "go up" on Binance SPOT, now that prices are "going down," you need to understand that you can still make money. How? Sell the asset, then buy it back at a lower price. The difference is your profit!
Can this be done in SPOT? YES, but only if you already have the asset you want to sell.
Very interesting, but if you don't have the asset (buying it is not an option because you know the price is trending down), then you can turn to Binance Futures (and if you don't have experience, it's recommended to go with NO LEVERAGE).
If you've never opened your special futures wallet on Binance, I recommend using the code LOCADEMIA for superpowers and commission discounts! (Link: www.binance.com/futures/ref/locademia)
The wallet is opened to keep the money (USDC or USDT) separate from your spot account. For now, only operate with these two stablecoins.
If it's your first time, make sure to set the trade to ISOLATED and with NO LEVERAGE, i.e., 1x.
If you need a hand, comment here with the details and I'll do my best to help you out.
The recent implementation of MiCA regulations has raised concerns about the future of Tether (USDT) in Europe, contributing to a decrease in stablecoin trading activity on centralized exchanges.
According to the new regulations, issuers of stablecoins, including asset-referenced tokens (ART) and e-money tokens (EMT), must be established in the European Union, notify competent authorities, and submit a white paper for approval. Additionally, the largest stablecoins face more stringent regulations, such as a cap on daily transactions and a requirement that 60% of reserves be held in cash deposits across multiple banks to ensure greater stability and security in the market.
Stablecoins like USD Coin (USDC) and Circle’s EUR Coin (EURC) have already complied with these requirements, leading to increased confidence and trading activity.
The introduction of MiCA regulations has undoubtedly transformed the stablecoin landscape in Europe, making compliance a crucial factor for continued participation and growth in the market.

Tether, the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, recorded a 1.61% increase, reaching $116 billion and setting a new all-time high. This marks the eleventh consecutive monthly increase in Tether's market cap.
According to DefiLlama, Tether (USDT) controls nearly 70% of the stablecoin market share. Additionally, the company reported record profits of $5.2 billion in the first half of 2024 on July 31.
While other major stablecoins like USD Coin (USDC), BlackRock’s BUIDL, and PayPal USD (PYUSD) saw increases, First Digital USD (FDUSD) and Ethena USDe experienced decreases in their market capitalizations.
Among the top ten stablecoins, PayPal USD saw the most growth, rising 17.9% to $589 million, achieving a new all-time high. On the other hand, USDC now represents 73.5% of the market share (excluding Tether) among the top ten stablecoins by market capitalization.
The report highlights that trading volumes for USDC pairs on centralized exchanges increased by 48.1%, reaching $135 billion, benefiting from the stablecoin’s compliance with the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation following its implementation in Europe last month.
Overall, stablecoin trading volumes fell by 8.35%, totaling $795 billion in July, due to decreased activity on centralized exchanges. Despite this, the report indicates a trend towards higher monthly volumes following the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs and the positive sentiment expressed at the Bitcoin Conference 2024 last week.

Overall, the crypto market has experienced a bearish trend in the past six hours, with most major cryptocurrencies registering notable losses. Bitcoin and several altcoins have suffered declines, possibly due to profit-taking and macroeconomic factors. However, TRX stands out as an exception, showing an increase, which could indicate specific market movements or positive news. Volatility remains high, reflecting the dynamic nature of the crypto market.
Top Performing Cryptocurrencies:
Bitcoin ($BTC ): Current Price: $59,346.85 Change: -3.29% Comment: Bitcoin has experienced a moderate decrease, possibly due to profit-taking after a recent rally or macroeconomic factors affecting market sentiment.
PEPE: Current Price: $0.00000821 Change: -9.08% Comment: PEPE has seen a significant drop, which may indicate a mass sell-off or renewed lack of interest in this specific altcoin.
BONK: Current Price: $0.00001984 Change: -8.57% Comment: BONK also shows a large decline, similar to PEPE, possibly due to similar reasons of lack of demand or profit-taking.
Solana ($SOL ): Current Price: $136.13 Change: -8.56% Comment: SOL has notably fallen, which could be related to recent technical issues or negative news specific to the Solana network.
WIF: Current Price: $1.534 Change: -8.2% Comment: WIF has also seen a strong drop, possibly reflecting a general sell-off pattern in the altcoin market.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Current Price: $0.00001358 Change: -6.41% Comment: SHIB, despite being a 'Rapid Riser,' has shown a decline, suggesting volatility and possible correction after a rapid rise.
$XRP : Current Price: $0.5282 Change: -5.93% Comment: XRP has fallen, possibly affected by ongoing regulatory issues and market pressure.
A while ago, I received a comment here on Square that said: "Plz advise me on Pepe coin? What u think how down pepe coin will drop? So that I can buy it?" $PEPE
First and foremost, PEPE COIN is a "meme" coin, meaning it doesn't represent anything and there's no intrinsic utility to the project. Investing in it is essentially "betting" on volatility. There's no "Plan B." If the projection holds, you'll make money. If it doesn't, you'll lose it. Accept this!
Having accepted the above... anyone looking to bet their money on PEPE Coin needs to understand technical analysis, timing, and set their own action plan. Do not enter if you don't understand what was just mentioned.
How is PEPE doing today? It's testing an important support level (like almost all cryptos). If that support is broken, it will go down... if it manages to bounce, it might seek the previous high that I indicated.
How to buy PEPE? Do your technical analysis projection and send it to me, tell me what plan you're going to use... and I'll give you my thoughts on your analysis for free. I'll be waiting for your message!
Ethereum is holding at a crucial support level and is at a tipping point that could lead to a drop below $2,800 if it fails to hold, according to various cryptocurrency traders. Based on my analysis, it is in a channel of indecision, as marked in the technical analysis image I shared with moving averages crossing and sideways movement (12-hour candlestick chart).
While we're currently at the bottom of the channel, it's NOT recommended to rush into buying until it's confirmed that the price is moving upward. The situation is highly volatile... be careful! Remember: don't enter the market without your own plan!
This comes after a week where Ethereum spot ETFs fluctuated between inflows and outflows. The net global amount from July 29 to August 2 resulted in outflows totaling $169.4 million, according to data from Farside.
On August 1, Katalin Tischhauser, Head of Investment Research at Sygnum Bank, mentioned that spot Ether ETFs could reach up to $10 billion in assets under management during their first year of operation. $ETH

The price of Shiba Inu has been under selling pressure, dropping for seven consecutive days. Let's see some #technicalanalyst
The dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu ($SHIB ) has confirmed a death cross signal in its short-term charts, indicating a bearish trend as the price continues to decline for the seventh straight day.
This sustained sell-off has brought SHIB to levels that have caught the market's attention. A death cross occurs when a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average, often signaling a bearish trend. For Shiba Inu, this pattern has emerged on the four-hour chart, where the 50-period moving average has crossed below the 200-period moving average.
The emergence of this pattern on the four-hour chart for Shiba Inu suggests that bearish momentum is gaining strength in the short term. Traders will likely look for clues in other indicators and price action to determine a potential reversal in SHIB's price.
As reported by Finbold, Ripple has sold 1.826 billion XRP from its treasury account so far this year, valued at $1.0 billion at current prices of $0.547 per token. The asset has dropped 11% year-to-date (YTD) and 12.14% since August 1st, following the unlock.
In January, Ripple sold 226 million XRP over three days, leading to a negative price action for the token. February saw a total of 260 million XRP sold in another three days, two of which had positive performance. March ended the first quarter with 240 million #Xrp🔥🔥 sold from the treasury account over two red days.
Additionally, Ripple sold 200 million XRP over two days in April and May, registering three days of gains. However, June marked the largest monthly sale in the company's history, unloading 400 million XRP over two losing days. Most recently, Ripple sold 300 million $XRP in two batches of 150 million each while the price increased.

GM! Beautiful day, isn't it? As I mentioned yesterday, the market sentiment isn't good. Major cryptocurrencies have dropped, seeking liquidation prices, and things could get very volatile over the weekend. I don't recommend doing any trading unless you consider yourself an expert in these kinds of markets.
