CHZ to USD

Coin had spiked

The decline contrasted sharply with CHZ’s performance on Tuesday when the coin spiked 24% and Wednesday when it increased 8%.

But the volatility-riddled Celsius Network coin (CEL) fared worse as it sank 17% for the second straight day.

CEL continued to plunge after Celsius sued its former money manager Jason Stone, accusing him of theft.

The coin has been prone to extreme volatility since the Celsius Network collapsed, and fellow crypto lender Voyager Digital and hedge fund operator Three Arrows Capital imploded.

All three companies filed for bankruptcy protection after being pounded by the collapses of the original luna coin and related terraUSD stablecoin.

Decred stands out

Decred stood out from the crypto crowd as it surged 13% while other gains were modest. The coin was up even more later in the afternoon, showing a 15% gain.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
