Subscriptions for these products are on a first-come, first-served basis, and users can earn rewards by participating. This is an opportunity for users to optimize their investment strategy and potentially earn higher returns.
For those who want to accumulate high rewards on their hands or sell their deposit currency at a higher price in the future, the “High Sell” option offers payment dates ranging from June 13 to December 29, 2023. Deposit options include BTC, ETH, SOL, MATIC, ADA, BNB, DOT, BCH, AVAX, FTM, ALGO, NEAR, ATOM, XRP and DOGE, while BUSD is the selling currency. Likewise, the option to buy from the bottom is also provided with the same coins. USDT and BUSD are deposited as collateral for the purchase.
