The best strategies for cryptocurrency trading in 2025.
Introduction to Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies are digital assets based on blockchain technology, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The market in 2025 exceeds a capitalization of $2 trillion and has grown by 40% compared to 2024. Traders conduct transactions on exchanges, where prices are influenced by demand, news, and macroeconomics. Beginners face risks due to volatility, but strategies can help reduce losses.
ASCN.AI helps select assets: enter the prompt "Analyze the top 5 cryptocurrencies by on-chain activity for today." The assistant will provide a report with transaction volumes, holders, and signals to help determine whether it's worth trading.
Spot trading occurs without leverage, while futures use leverage. In 2025, regulations in the EU and the US increase platform security. To get started, register on the exchange, complete KYC, and fund your account. ASCN.AI simplifies the process: the prompt 'Steps for registering on Binance for beginners' will provide instructions along with fraud risk warnings.
Overview of Key Trading Strategies
Cryptocurrency trading strategies can be short-term or long-term. They rely on market analysis, where prices fluctuate due to news and volumes. Traders use technical analysis with indicators like RSI and MA to determine trends. In 2025, AI tools like ASCN.AI will automate calculations and provide signals based on real-time data.
Strategies for Beginners
Beginners often start with HODL — holding assets for the long term. Buy Bitcoin on the spot during a correction and hold it for a year, expecting a growth of 50-100%. The risk is lower than in scalping, but it requires patience. Another approach is dollar-cost averaging: invest a fixed amount monthly, regardless of the price. This smooths out volatility.
For practice, use demo accounts on exchanges. ASCN.AI enhances strategies: the prompt "Suggest a dollar-cost averaging plan for ETH for 2025 with an investment of $500 per month" will calculate purchases based on support levels, take fees into account, and show expected profits based on historical data. Analyze the response: look at entry levels and stop-losses to avoid emotional mistakes. ASCN.AI clients report that such reports helped preserve capital during the market declines of 2024.

Advanced Strategies for Professionals
Professionals use arbitrage — taking advantage of price differences between exchanges. In 2025, DEX and CEX show discrepancies of up to 5% on volatile assets. Open a spot position on one platform and a short position on futures on another. Another option is scalping: quick trades on 1-minute charts with RSI below 30 for entering long.
Trend-following follows price movement with MA crossovers. In a bull market, buy on a breakout of resistance. ASCN.AI is perfect here: prompt 'Scalping idea for SOLUSDT on a 15-minute timeframe: levels, RSI and MA indicators, long/short scenarios.' Get analysis with entry conditions (price above MA50), stop loss (below support), and targets (2:1 risk/reward). Analyze the response: check volumes for trend confirmation and integrate with on-chain signals from whales. Users of the service execute trades based on such data, avoiding false breakouts.
Swing trading captures fluctuations over days: enter on a bounce from support. In 2025, consider halvings and network upgrades. For arbitrage, use the prompt 'Compare the price of BTC on Binance and Bybit, find opportunities considering fees.' The assistant will show the difference and calculate profits, helping to close the trade in minutes.
Choosing the Right Trading Platform
Exchanges vary in fees, liquidity, and tools. Choose those with low spreads and API support for bots. In 2025, focus on security: two-factor authentication and insurance funds. Traders test platforms based on trading volumes and order execution speed.
Advantages: unique sentiment analysis from Telegram, without the hallucinations of universal AIs like ChatGPT. The prompt 'Risk analysis for trading XRP in 2025: on-chain and news' will provide a summary with the probability of a dump. Clients use this for hedging, reducing losses by 30%. Integration with TradingView allows for the automation of strategies. AI crypto agents on ASCN.AI lead in accuracy.
Other Popular Platforms
Binance offers low fees of 0.1% and over 500 pairs. Bybit focuses on futures with leverage up to 100x. For DeFi, Uniswap is suitable with gas fees. Compare by liquidity: Binance leads with 50% of the global volume. Cryptocurrency as an asset requires reliable exchanges to minimize the risks of hacking attacks.
ASCN.AI complements exchanges: the prompt 'Compare fees on Binance and KuCoin for ETH arbitrage' will provide a table with calculations to help you choose the optimal option.
| Fee Type | Binance (Main Exchange) | Binance Wallet (App) | KuCoin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maker Fee | 0.1% (base; down to 0.075% with BNB discount or VIP) | 0% (for ETH/USDT stablecoin pairs, promo from Nov 26, 2025) | 0.1% (base; down to 0.005% for VIP Level 12) | Binance Wallet's 0% is a limited-time update for select pairs—ideal for arbitrage if using the app. KuCoin offers up to 20% rebate via KCS holdings. |
| Taker Fee | 0.1% (base; down to 0.075% with BNB or VIP) | 0% (same promo) | 0.1% (base; down to 0.008% for VIP) | Standard across both for low-volume users. High-volume traders (>$1M/month) get rebates. |
| Discounts | -10% if paying with BNB<br>- VIP tiers (0-9) based on volume/BNB holdings<br>- Referral cashback up to 30% | Up to 30% cashback via referrals | -20% if holding KCS (native token)<br>- VIP tiers (0-12) based on volume/KCS<br>- Zero fees on some BTC/ETH pairs (check if ETH/USDT qualifies) | Binance edges out for casual users via BNB; KuCoin better for KCS holders. For a $10,000 ETH trade, base fees: ~$10 on both (without discounts). |
Recommendations from Experts and Successful Cases
Experts recommend diversifying your portfolio: 50% in BTC/ETH, 30% in altcoins, and 20% in stablecoins. Manage risks: do not risk more than 2% of your capital on a trade. In 2025, keep an eye on ETFs and regulations.
