First-time traders are eligible to win 1 BTC and earn $WOO tokens
TAIPEI, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — WOO Network co-founder Jack Tan led the first-anniversary celebration of WOO X, a professional-grade cryptocurrency trading platform featuring zero-fee trading and deep liquidity. In an open letter to WOO X users worldwide, Tan reflected on the shared journey between the team and the community that allowed the platform to be among the most-trusted platforms alongside long-established players.
“Our innovative industry combined with a decentralized workforce means long hours for the 200+ members, as we sync across time zones, checking slack channels and telegram messages first thing in the morning till late at night. To succeed, we not only have to work harder but we have to do things differently and with better effect. One thing we did do well was ignoring certain trends such as building NFT marketplaces or sponsoring expensive sports teams – instead, we chose to invest in better products,” Tan said in his letter.
Opportunity amidst the bear market
Tan continued to address the current market conditions that have been challenging for many tech startups
“The bear market has given us a fantastic opportunity to assemble a strong line of innovative products, a world-class team, and an inspiring group of co-builders to drive toward our goal of being a tier-one brand.
We are shaping our platform to become more than a place to buy and sell digital assets, but one that empowers and supports users, where users will see a noticeable boost in performance. We also have one of the strongest ecosystems in the world, led by our clients, investors, and partners like Kronos Research and Orderly Network. On top of that, we are also blessed by having one of the tightest communities led by WOO DAO, WOO Force, and WOOFi, helping the brand spread throughout the world. I’m proud of what the team has accomplished with WOO X in only one year. And now the pieces are finally coming together for us to set the pace for innovation,” Tan further noted.
Giving back to the community, chance to win 1 BTC
To let more professional traders try out WOO X, the company has launched a campaign where traders can stand a chance to win 1 BTC. Users who trade on the platform until November 1st are eligible to win the prize.
“Our users are generally satisfied and trust our platform, based on direct feedback and our trust score on a third-party rating platform. With this campaign, we want other traders to try it for themselves while getting a chance to win 1 BTC,” said WOO Network Marketing Vice President Ben Yorke.
Users who make their first trade are entered in a random giveaway to win 1 BTC. The first trade, either spot or futures, must be completed during the campaign, regardless of when the user registered. For more information regarding this campaign, visit the event page.
New partnership allows buying crypto with fiat
During the anniversary celebration, WOO X also announced its partnership with Cabital and the integration of Cabital Connect. The partnership enables users to buy crypto with fiat using local bank transfer methods and eliminate the costly transaction fees associated with credit cards. A joint campaign was launched by both parties, where customers who use Cabital to purchase USDT on WOO X can stand to earn $WOO token rewards, and enjoy 0% fees when transferring assets to WOO X.
In just one year, WOO X has conducted a total of 240 billion USD volume of trades and ranked the 9th crypto spot exchange worldwide, based on trust score. The internal team grew to 200, pitching in expertise gained from top-tier institutions across different industries. WOO X has more than 20 partners, including Avalanche, Binance, Crypto.com, Cardano, and NEAR.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended a day of choppy trading with a 0.1% drop. The morning's 0.2% uptick faded early, but the index built momentum after the Fed's minutes release at 11 a.m. ET. The Fed's minutes on Wednesday showed that the path to higher interest rates remains intact.
The big question: Has the market hit a bottom yet? Well, according to Oppenheimer's Head of Technical Analysis Ari Wald, there are signs one is forming, the most notable of which is that the Russell 2000 index – the barometer for small-cap stocks – “held to the June lows in the most recent late Q3 move to the downside." Wald also notes that the signal of a market top is when the S&P 500 makes a “higher high, and small caps make a lower high," and we are currently seeing the opposite scenario pla

“After too many years of paying for oversight, I finally woke up to the reality that it cannot be in the investor’s best interest as long as the manager is rewarded for assets under management.” Well, firstly the AUM model — which stands for assets under management and is often a flat 1% of one’s assets — isn’t without controversy.
The headwinds have piled up for the US economy, and today’s producer price index, coming in well above the forecasts, was just the latest blow. As the PPI reminds us, inflation is stubbornly high, and compounding on last year’s elevated numbers. In addition, we’re facing a 1H GDP contraction, a nosedive in consumer confidence, shaky supplies chains, and the Federal Reserve’s rapid shift to hiking interest rates. And all of that may just be the tip of the iceberg. Billionaire investor Ray Dalio s
Altogether, the seasonally adjusted inflation still stood at 8.3% over the past 12 months in August. “High inflation is unlikely to become a permanent feature of the economy,” Aliaga-Diaz assured, adding that “central banks are trying hard to bring it down” though that “may cost them a mild recession.” Instead, Aliaga-Diaz says the best strategy is to look ahead “over medium and long-term horizons,” and that the “odds are that markets will be better than the last few months.”
Don’t assume the worst is over, says investor Larry McDonald. McDonald, founder of The Bear Traps Report and author of “A Colossal Failure of Common Sense,” which described the 2008 failure of Lehman Brothers, expects more turmoil in the bond market, in part, because “there is $50 trillion more in world debt today than there was in 2018.” The bond market dwarfs the stock market — both have fallen this year, although the rise in interest rates has been worse for bond investors because of the inverse relationship between rates (yields) and bond prices.

(Bloomberg) — JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s boss Jamie Dimon says the US stock market could suffer another “easy 20%” drop, which would push the benchmark index below 3,000 — a level it hasn’t seen since the depths of the coronavirus pandemic. So what would another slide of that magnitude actually look like and which stocks would get hit hardest? For one thing, it would be painful for investors, with technology and so-called growth shares likely taking the brunt of the suffering, with their elevated

Ray Dalio, the billionaire investor who built Bridgewater Associates into one of the world's biggest hedge funds, said a "perfect storm" is forming that will spread economic pain as the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates. "I don't know whether that's 4.5% or the economy could not take an interest rate much higher than that before it's going to be negative."

BofA analyst Vivek Arya maintained an Underperform on Intel Corp (NASDAQ: INTC) and a $30 price target. Two separate media reports suggested INTC’s plan to reduce its marketing and sales headcount by 20% and create greater decision-making separation between its design and manufacturing teams. Both steps were necessary but insufficient to change his fundamental concerns around core strategic, competitive and financial risks, Arya mentioned in his Wednesday note titled “First take on headcount red

Roblox stock was shocked yesterday when Barclays bank initiated coverage with an underweight rating (i.e., sell), sending the shares down more than 6% at one point. Today, Roblox's ride higher continued, and as of 12:12 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the shares were up 5.7%.
Shares of Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST), an AI-powered lending platform, were rising today on seemingly no company-specific news. Instead, some investors may be looking at the company's recent share price declines and thinking that now is a good buying opportunity. Shares of Upstart have crashed over the past six months, falling 73% as investors have been worried about the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes as it tries to tamp down inflation.
