Bitcoin implied volatility is at historically low levels.

After recovering from ~$63K in early February, it has stabilized in the mid-$70Ks. The market is pricing in very little turbulence ahead, but history suggests the opposite.

Prolonged calm tends to precede significant moves, particularly when spot stabilizes after more sizable drawdowns. The question is: which way?

What is dollar-cost averaging (DCA) in crypto?

Trying to time the crypto market is one of the main reasons retail investors underperform it.

We are breaking down how dollar-cost averaging works, what the data says, and how to combine it with daily interest in our blog post.

Dollar-cost averaging means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of price. When prices are high, your fixed amount buys less. When prices are low, it buys more. Over time your average cost reflects the full range of market conditions rather than a single poorly timed entry.

The data behind DCA into Bitcoin is compelling. A disciplined weekly DCA from 2018 through early 2026 returned approximately 1,145%. Monthly Bitcoin DCA has been profitable over any five-year period, regardless of the starting point, including peaks of previous bull markets.

On Nexo, your accumulated holdings can earn daily interest through Flexible Savings while you continue your DCA schedule. Your position compounds from two directions at once: accumulation through regular purchases and yield through daily interest.

Full breakdown in the blog:

What is USDC, and how does it work?

We are breaking down how USDC is backed, what it is used for, and how holders can put it to work in our blog post.

USDC is a stablecoin issued by Circle, backed 1:1 by US dollar cash and short-term US Treasury securities held at regulated US financial institutions.

Beyond holding stable value, USDC has real utility. It is used for cross-border payments that settle in minutes, as collateral and liquidity, and increasingly as the payment layer for AI agent transactions. Visa processed $3.5 billion in USDC settlements on Solana in 2025 alone.

On Nexo, USDC does not have to sit idle. You can earn daily interest through Flexible Savings, lock in a higher rate with Fixed-term Savings, and swap USDC for 100+ assets at any time.

USDC is a dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Circle. Learn how it works, how it compares to USDT, whether it's safe, and how to earn interest on your USDC.

Bitcoin trades 38.7% below its October 2025 peak.

Even at the current level, this is the narrowest drawdown at the same stage of any cycle in BTC's history.

Spot ETF inflows and corporate allocation absorb selling pressure that prior cycles had no infrastructure to absorb.
