How Europeans are actually spending crypto
There's a stubborn myth about crypto spending. The image that persists is a tech nerd or early adopter flaunting their wealth on a sports car or a private dinner, crypto as the currency of excess.

New data from OKX Card stablecoin transactions in Europe makes this clear: supermarkets, bakeries, takeaways, and the odd holiday booking. Forget the Lambo. People are buying lattes.

What's a limit order?
A limit order instructs a broker to buy or sell an asset at a specific price. When you place a limit order, you essentially set a price limit for the transaction. The order will be executed if the asset’s price reaches or surpasses your limit price. However, the order will not be carried out if the market price exceeds your limit.
