TRADFI - DID YOU KNOW?! 👀📊
Think you know traditional finance? Let’s see. Here are 7 TradFi facts you might not know:
1️⃣ The stock market doesn’t trade 24/7.
Traditional U.S. stock markets generally operate during specific hours on weekdays, unlike crypto, which runs around the clock.
2️⃣ The first modern stock exchange is centuries old.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, established in 1602, is widely considered the world’s oldest modern stock exchange.
3️⃣ You don’t need to buy a whole stock.
Fractional shares allow investors to own a portion of a stock instead of purchasing one complete share, making investing accessible with smaller amounts.
4️⃣ Bonds aren’t just for governments.
Companies can issue corporate bonds to raise money from investors. In return, investors generally receive interest and repayment according to the bond’s terms.
5️⃣ Dividends aren’t guaranteed.
Even companies with long histories of paying dividends can reduce, suspend, or eliminate them depending on their financial situation and decisions.
6️⃣ Index funds changed investing.
Instead of trying to pick individual winners, index funds allow investors to gain exposure to a basket of securities designed to track a particular market index.
7️⃣ TradFi and crypto are getting closer.
Stocks, ETFs, bonds and other traditional assets are increasingly being connected with blockchain infrastructure and digital-asset markets.
