UN-Limited Limit Orders in DeFi
CoW Swap limit orders offer:
Unlimited order management: Limit orders on CoW Swap are completely FREE to place or cancel. Yes, really!
Unlimited order placement: Use one crypto balance to place multiple orders at once, even if you don’t have the full amount yet. That’s useful!
Unlimited order surplus: All upside captured after a price is hit goes to you and not to order takers. As it should be!
Plus everything else you know and love about CoW Swap, like gasless trading and MEV protection.
The crypto market’s latest crash stunned investors and analysts alike, wiping out $1 trillion in value in just days—despite strong fundamentals, rising adoption, and favorable economic signals.
Bitcoin’s fall below $100,000 and Ethereum’s slip into the red have reignited debates about whether digital assets are victims of their own volatility. All of this happened AFTER the Fed cut interest rates and meaningful movement in US-China relations seemed to signal global economic optimism.
The Kobeissi Letter points to one key culprit: leverage—amplifying every tremor into an earthquake across exchanges. Even as global markets wobble, crypto’s losses seem uniquely magnified by the sheer scale of speculative trading and automated liquidations.
Yet beneath the chaos, many still see this as another painful but necessary correction in an ever-evolving crypto market.
