Note
Our official sponsor for the month of February is @NestedFi! Nested is a new Social Trading protocol which allows users to create and manage portfolios (and copy-trade other traders’ portfolios) on all the main EVM chains…
Nested has a variety of interesting features beyond the copy-trading aspect. It allows for easy dca’ing, as well as non-kyc’d fiat-onboarding via their integration with Mt Pelerin.
