InstaForex introduces new tools for trading



Amid a steady rally, bitcoin has conquered an all-time peak, aiming for new highs. Other cryptocurrencies are also appreciating at a furious pace. In February 2021, the crypto market capitalization swelled to $1.72 trillion. At the same time, the bitcoin dominance index dropped to 60%.

Having conducted in-depth market analysis, strategists at InstaForex have come up with simple but advanced trading instruments, tuning in to current trends and traders' needs. These instruments can prompt traders to find new entry points to the humongous crypto market.

So, the brokerage giant makes  new crypto instruments available from February 22, 2021. Let's get to know them!

ChainCoin

ChainCoin is a cryptocurrency with its own blockchain that was invented with a view to eliminating intrusion of any banking authority into users' transactions.

Filecoin

Filecoin is an open-source public cryptocurrency and digital payment system which converts unused hard drive space into an algorithmic market.

Uniswap

Uniswap is a cryptocurrency operating on the Ethereum blockchain. It enables exchanging tokens through liquidity pools without third parties and delays.

Polkadot

Polkadot is a multi-chain network which ensures interaction of all blockchains inside it, thus creating a kind of a web of compatible blockchains which make up a decentralized system.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin got its name and logo from the “Doge" meme and features the muzzle of the Shiba Inu dog. This cryptocurrency was invented as the fork of Litecoin in December 2013 and was originally introduced as a funny payment system for Reddit and Twitter users to give tips. This token aroused the interest of Elon Musk. After he had tweeted that Dogecoin was the people's crypto, its value soared 563%.

Chainlink

Chainlink is a blockchain-based platform aimed to eliminate unauthorized involvement of third parties when exchanging data through complicated smart contracts. This technology ensures advanced protection of information not only inside blockchain but beyond it.

Cardano

Cardano runs on the proof of stake technology. It was invented as an alternative to Ethereum. This cryptocurrency platform enables creating smart contracts, decentralized apps and protocols as well as instant transactions of digital assets with minor commissions.

So, apart from widely popular cryptocurrencies such as:

Bitcoin
Bitcoin Cash
Ethereum
Litecoin
Ripple

InstaForex has complemented the list with new crypto instruments. Above all else, the broker offers trading currency pairs, stocks, futures contracts, and binary options.

The major advantage of trading cryptocurrencies intraday is that such strategies yield high returns in practice. Unlike other financial markets where quotes normally fluctuate by no more than 1%, quotes of digital assets can double within 24 hours.

The growing popularity of cryptocurrencies opens up ample opportunities to earn fat profits. Take advantage of them!

InstaForex cares how to make trading in global financial markets more efficient. The company posts daily analysis by 30 experts and charges lower brokerage commissions. A swap rate, i.e. a commission charged when keeping crypto positions open overnight, equals 10% that is two times lower than swaps with other brokers.

Since 2008, InstaForex has been upgrading the quality of its services and products on a daily basis. Thus, the company has deserved the reputation of a reliable provider of online financial services and has gained recognition as the best broker in Europe and Asia. 15 awards and 7 million clients prove that InstaForex is the broker to trust!

Borussia Dortmund win the German Cup!

On May 13, the final match of the German Football Cup between Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig took place in Berlin. Dortmund beat RB Leipzig 4-1 and won the DFB-Pokal trophy. This is also a significant event for InstaForex as our company is the regional partner of Borussia Dortmund in the CIS and Asia.

The German Cup final was very tense and spectacular. Borussia Dortmund scored the first goal against Leipzig in the fifth minute of the match. "Die Schwarzgelben" (The Black and Yellows) literally scored one goal after another. Apart from one consolation goal, Leipzig had to get the ball out of the net after each decisive goal of its rival. So, the goal in the 72nd minute of the match did not save the situation for Leipzig.

This match went down in the history of the German Cup as a competition between the youngest coaches ever to reach the final of the tournament. 38-year-old Edin Terzic managed to beat 33-year-old Julian Nagelsmann as youngest DFB-Pokal winning coach.

Dortmund has claimed the German Cup five times in total. We are sure that it will win more football cups in the future. The InstaForex team wishes the legendary German team more decisive and stunning victories.

Borussia Dortmund wins another important match, securing its place in Champions League!



We previously wrote about how Borussia Dortmund won the German Football Cup. It was a big victory not only for the German football team but also for our company as InstaForex is its regional partner. This time, we have another unprecedented achievement to celebrate - Borussia Dortmund secured its spot in the Champions League staying in the 3rd position of the German Bundesliga after 33 rounds played.

The team guaranteed its place in the Champions League after scoring in a 3-1 win at Mainz. The strongest squad of Borussia Dortmund played in the match. The team was in sync, showing incredible performance. There were only 4 shots on target by the Black and Yellows with 3 of them being goal-scoring.

The team was leading already in the first 45 minutes of the match, getting 3 goals into the opponent's gate. In the second half of the match, all they had to do was to play in defence. The opposite team scored only one goal which was not enough to change the outcome of the match.

Thus, Borussia Dortmund won 3:1, securing a place in the top three of the Bundesliga. InstaForex congratulates its partners from Dortmund on the second grand triumph in a week, wishing stunning victories to the Black and Yellows!

If you follow our news and read our articles about Borussia Dortmund 's path to the final, you have surely noted that partnership with InstaForex is often the herald of a champion title for athletes.

As a reminder, Carlsen has topped the FIDE world rankings since the beginning of our cooperation in 2011. Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League Cup after a 4-years sponsorship contract in 2014–2018 with our company. And now luck is on Borussia Dortmund’s side.

Do you want to know why 7,000,000 traders, as well as future and accomplished champions, chose InstaForex? The answer is simple: we have a common goal - the desire to improve and perseverance to succeed.

HKM Zvolen sponsored by InstaForex wins the title of Slovak champion!



InstaForex has been the general sponsor of Zvolen, one of the oldest Slovak hockey teams, for eight years. In the 2020/2021 season, Zvolen was crowned the champion of the 2020/21 Slovak ice-hockey premiership. The team has earned such a high title for the first time in 8 years. Being a sponsor of the club, InstaForex is proud of Zvolen’s remarkable achievement and efforts made to score the victory.

Zvolen is now a three-time champion of the Slovak Championship. The team won the previous two titles in the 2000/2001 and 2012/2013 seasons. Zvolen made a lot of effort to ensure this year's win. InstaForex sponsorship also made its contribution to the club’s triumph, providing all necessary equipment so that the hockey players could prepare for the championship.

The team and its fans celebrated the victory right after the Slovak ice-hockey premiership was over (the festivity lasted until 21:00 due to quarantine restrictions). Anyway, it was a remarkable event. The coaching staff rode the main streets of Zvolen in a big bus to celebrate the glorious victory together with the fans. The champions were greeted by thousands of people who sang, danced, and chanted: "We are Zvolen, we are the champions".
