You can now buy CHEDDA, the biggest winner of the day: here’s where

CHEDDA is a decentralized culture token created on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC20 token. It began to surge on news of an upcoming listing on ZTexchange and has gained 66% just today.

If you want to know more about CHEDDA, including whether it’s worth investing in and the best places to buy CHEDDA, you’ve come to the right place.  

Top places to buy CHEDDA now

As CHEDDA is such a new asset, it’s yet to be listed on major exchanges. You can still purchase CHEDDA using a DEX (decentralised exchange) though, which just means there are a few extra steps. To buy CHEDDA right now, follow these steps:

1. Buy ETH on a regulated exchange or broker, like eToro ›

We suggest eToro because it’s one of the world’s leading multi-asset trading platforms, an exchange and wallet all-in-one with some of the lowest fees in the industry. It’s also beginner-friendly, and has more payment methods available to users than any other available service.

2. Send your ETH to a compatible wallet like Trust Wallet or MetaMask

You’ll need to create your wallet, grab your address, and send your coins there.

3. Connect your wallet to the Uniswap DEX

Head to Uniswap, and ‚connect‘ your wallet to it.

4. You can now swap your ETH for CHEDDA

Now that you’re connected, you’ll be able to swap for 100s of coins including CHEDDA.

What is CHEDDA?

The ERC20 token has a 3% fee on every transaction. 1% is burned forever and the other 2% is distributed to the CHEDDA team for continual development of the project. Burning tokens on every transaction makes CHEDDA a deflationary asset.

There will never be as many CHEDDA in circulation as there is now. By burning half the supply and 1% of every transaction, the total supply of CHEDDA will decrease over time.

This gives holders an incentive to hold their tokens long-term as the circulating supply lowers and the price of the token increases.

Should I buy CHEDDA today?

CHEDDA is performing very well at the moment, but do market research and observe trends before committing to an investment. Take all advice with a grain of salt.  

CHEDDA price prediction

CHEDDA has outperformed price predictions by Digital Coin Price, Coin Data Flow, and many other analysts. Generally, a price of $0.002 was predicted a year from now. CHEDDA is currently trading for three times that.

Morgan Stanley: Bitcoin’s 50% correction “within historical norms”

  • Analysts at the bank say Bitcoin has corrected by 50% or higher on 15 occasions since 2009.

  • They say a breakdown to $28,000 is possible as this is 2021’s floor, while $45,000 remains a crucial resistance zone.

Bitcoin’s bounce from recent lows could be hindered if the flagship cryptocurrency slides below $37,000 again, with further losses likely given the potential for fresh sell-off pressure across traditional financial markets.

In such a scenario, Bitcoin’s price could retreat towards major demand zones in the $35k- $33K and see its cumulative losses since reaching an all-time peak hit +50%.

While the slump could be a worrying signal for the benchmark crypto, analysts at Morgan Stanley say this won’t be anything out of the ordinary.

Sheena Shah, the head of research for crypto at the bank said acknowledged in the report that it’s not easy to estimate what the fair value of a crypto asset is, especially given the speculative nature of the asset class.

Per the research note, Bitcoin’s correction is still within the perimeters of bear market crashes seen in previous cycles. Historical data shows Bitcoin price has tanked massively in about 15 bear markets in its life with the latest decline of 50% or more, not an isolated case.

The bank points to $28k as the key price level in this market cycle as it represents the coin’s 52-week low. If a bounceback strengthens and BTC/USD breaks and holds $45k, then the market can look to more gains amid a potential rally.

But Morgan Stanley thinks investors should keenly watch the markets, with the likely scenario being crypt assets remain in a correction amid macro trends.

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital thinks as much, noting on Monday as Bitcoin retreated from highs of $38,300 that BTC/USD could yet see a fake breakout. He says it would be important to take note of such a scenario, where Bitcoin sees an upward flip only to retreat sharply.

Trader and crypto analyst Ali Martinez points to on-chain data from IntotheBlock to suggest Bitcoin is facing stiff resistance around $37,500-$38,500.

“Breaking such a critical supply barrier could allow BTC to advance towards $42,300,” he noted.
