Why Beginners Lose Money in DeFi (And How to Avoid It)
With $2.3B lost by new traders in Q1 2025 (Chainalysis), DeFi trading requires careful planning. Here are 5 HIBT DeFi trading tips every beginner needs:
1. Start Small – The 1% Rule
Like learning to swim in shallow water, never risk more than 1% of your capital per trade. Vietnam’s crypto adoption grew 210% last year (triển tăng 210%), but many rush into large positions.
2. Verify Smart Contracts
Always check contract audits before trading. For HIBT pairs, look for “tiêu chuẩn an ninh blockchain” (blockchain security standards) certifications.
3. Use Limit Orders
Market orders often cause slippage. Set buy/sell targets in advance – our HIBT order guide shows how.
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 9-11AM | Highest liquidity |
| 2-4PM | Best entry points |
4. Track Gas Fees
Ethereum gas costs can eat 10-15% of small trades. Tools like GasNow help time transactions.
5. Secure Your Assets
Store HIBT in non-custodial wallets like Ledger. Remember: “khóa cá nhân an toàn” (secure private keys) are your responsibility.
