Four years of investment/financial career experience are required before one can become a CFA charterholder. Enrollees in the program must hold a bachelor's degree.

Crypto lending is the process of depositing cryptocurrency that is lent out to borrowers in return for regular interest payments. Payments are made in the form of the cryptocurrency that is deposited typically and compounded on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Cryptocurrency lending is inherently risky for both borrowers and lenders because the loans and deposited funds are beholden to the volatile crypto market.

Technology and internet-related stocks, especially of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market.
