What to consider when buying Waves

Note that there are inherent risks in cryptocurrency trading because of the speculative nature of the cryptocurrency market, which accounts for the volatility of coin prices. Before buying WAVES, consider the following factors:
  • Supply. According to the Waves platform, WAVES has a total supply of 100,000,000.
  • The goals of the Waves platform. The company behind WAVES hopes to attract companies looking to harness the blockchain for their own purposes, like crowdfunding and loyalty programs. Using the Waves wallet and their supply of WAVES tokens, companies can take advantage of the Waves DEX to exchange, release and mine their own tokens. The Waves platform intends to make the blockchain accessible to everyone and remove any hindrances to the development of blockchain applications of any kind.
  • Performance. You can study patterns behind the rise and fall of WAVES prices before you decide to purchase the token. However, you should take note that you may not be able to accurately predict future performance based on past performance.

How to sell Waves

You can cash out your WAVES with the same exchange you bought it through:

  1. Sign in to the exchange you have WAVES on.
    If you store your Waves in a digital wallet, compare crypto exchanges to sell it on.
  2. Place a sell order.
    Choose the amount of WAVES you'd like to sell.
  3. Complete your transaction.
    Confirm the sell price and fees and close your sale of Waves.

Cryptocurrencies aren't regulated in the UK and there's no protection from the Financial Ombudsman or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Your capital is at risk. Capital gains tax on profits may apply.

Cryptocurrencies are speculative and investing in them involves significant risks - they're highly volatile, vulnerable to hacking and sensitive to secondary activity. The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you invested. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This content shouldn't be interpreted as a recommendation to invest. Before you invest, you should get advice and decide whether the potential return outweighs the risks.
