Cryptocurrency adoption in Greece has surged in recent years, urging more investors and everyday users to navigate the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape. With this rise, the Greek tax authorities have introduced clear regulations, setting 2025 as a pivotal year for crypto tax reporting. Whether you’re an experienced trader, a casual investor, or just beginning your digital finance journey, understanding the tax implications is essential for keeping compliant and making informed decisions about your crypto portfolio. This comprehensive guide demystifies the core aspects of Greece’s 2025 crypto tax regime, details how every major crypto scenario is taxed, and empowers you with actionable steps and expert-backed clarity.

Do You Pay Cryptocurrency Taxes in Greece?

Cryptocurrency Taxation Overview

Yes, if you are resident in Greece—or earn income or capital gains from Greek tax sources—you are required to declare and pay taxes on your cryptocurrency activities. As of the tax year 2025, both the Greek government and the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) have mandated that capital gains realized from digital assets are subject to Capital Gains Tax. This is part of a broader move across the European Union to align taxation of digital assets with traditional financial products.

Who is liable for crypto tax in Greece?

You are obligated to pay crypto taxes in Greece if you fall into any of these categories:

  • You are tax resident in Greece, regardless of where your assets are held
  • You make gains from disposing of crypto assets, even if the transactions occur on international crypto exchanges
  • You earn crypto-based income from mining, staking, or DeFi activities

The responsibility to accurately report and pay taxes according to Greek regulations lies with each taxpayer. Failing to comply with crypto tax rules can result in penalties, interest charges, and potential audits.

Real-World Analogy

Think of your crypto holdings like owning shares or property. When you buy, hold, or transfer assets to your own wallets, it’s similar to moving funds between your own bank accounts—generally not taxable in itself. But once you profit from selling or exchanging these assets, or earn income from them, the taxman in Greece wants a share.

How Much Tax Do You Pay on Crypto in Greece?

Capital Gains Tax on Crypto

In Greece, the taxation of cryptocurrency for 2025 is straightforward: capital gains realized from cryptocurrencies are subject to a flat 15% Capital Gains Tax rate. This replaces previous ambiguities and brings much-needed clarity to investors and traders holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets.

The flat 15% rate applies to gains made from:

  • Selling crypto for Euros or other fiat currencies
  • Swapping one cryptocurrency for another (e.g., trading Bitcoin for Ethereum)
  • Engaging in DeFi activities involving asset disposals

There are currently no lower or progressive rates for crypto-specific capital gains, which avoids tiered tax bracket complexity.

Income Tax on Crypto Earnings

Certain types of crypto activities are treated as ordinary income, assessed on a progressive scale per existing Greek Income Tax law. If your crypto is earned through mining, staking, or as compensation (e.g., freelancing), it is taxed as income.

Can the Iapr Track Crypto?

Crypto Asset Monitoring by Greek Tax Authorities

The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) employs increasingly advanced tools to monitor and verify taxpayers’ digital asset activity. While cryptocurrencies were initially regarded as “anonymous” or “untraceable,” modern blockchain analytics and international cooperation have closed many loopholes.

How the IAPR tracks crypto transactions

  • KYC Requirements on Exchanges: All regulated exchanges require Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, linking your identity to your wallet and transactions.
  • Cross-border Data Sharing: Under the EU Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8), crypto exchange information is now available to the IAPR.
  • Blockchain Analytics: Authorities utilize blockchain explorers and analytics companies to monitor wallet movements and trace transfers between known addresses, exchanges, and individual wallets.

Why Transparency Matters

If you use crypto exchanges or centralized platforms, or trade substantial amounts, your transactions are likely visible to the Greek authorities. Failure to declare capital gains or income from these activities poses a significant compliance risk.

Analogy:
Treat crypto tax compliance the same as declaring gains from foreign stocks. Just because it’s on a “new” platform doesn’t mean tax authorities can’t see it.

How Is Crypto Taxed in Greece?

Overview of Taxable Crypto Events

Crypto assets are taxed according to the event and nature of activity. The primary categories are capital gains (from disposition) and income (from earning new coins or tokens). Below, we clarify how different events are treated in practice:

Buying crypto with EURNoNot taxablePurchasing from an exchange

\* Specific exceptions may apply under inheritance, large gift, or charity regulations.

Transaction Calculation Methods

To determine tax liability, you must correctly calculate your cost basis and any applicable gains or losses from your crypto activities.

H4: Rules for Calculating Crypto Gains

  • Cost Basis: Amount paid to acquire the crypto (includes EUR paid + transaction fees)
  • Proceeds: Amount you received from disposing of crypto (in EUR, at time of transaction)
  • Gain/Loss Formula:

  Gain/Loss = Disposal Proceeds (EUR) – Cost Basis (EUR)

 

H4: Accepted Accounting Methods

Greece’s IAPR generally accepts:

  • FIFO (First In, First Out): Earliest purchased crypto units are disposed of first.
  • Weighted Average: Total cost of holdings averaged over all units.

Consistency is key—pick a method and apply it across all your tax reporting periods.

Example

Maria bought 1 BTC for €20,000 in 2022 and 1 BTC for €30,000 in 2023. She sells 1 BTC in 2025 for €40,000. Using FIFO:

  • Cost basis = €20,000 (the first BTC purchased)
  • Gain = €40,000 – €20,000 = €20,000 taxable at 15%

Greece Income Tax Rate

Overview of Income Tax Brackets

When crypto is earned as income (mining, staking, working, or DeFi rewards), it is taxed as per Greece’s progressive income tax scale:

Income (EUR)

Tax rate

Up to 10,0009%
10,001–20,00022%
20,001–30,00028%
30,001–40,00036%
Over 40,00044%

Calculating Crypto Income Tax

Use the fair market value (FMV) in EUR on the day you receive the crypto. The value becomes your new cost basis if you later sell or swap these coins.

Example:

Dimitra mines Ethereum and receives 0.5 ETH when the FMV is €1,800. She declares €900 as income in that tax year. If she holds or spends that ETH later, her cost basis for capital gains calculation is €900.

H4: Crypto-to-Crypto Transactions

Swapping tokens is a taxable event—triggering a capital gain or loss based on FMV at the time of the transaction. For example, swapping 1 BTC (acquired for €25,000) for 12 ETH (current FMV €35,000) results in a capital gain of €10,000, taxed at 15%.

Crypto Losses in Greece

How Crypto Losses Are Treated

As of 2025, Greece has not issued explicit guidance concerning the deduction of capital losses from cryptocurrencies. However, for other capital assets (like property or shares), capital losses can offset capital gains and be carried forward for up to five years.

Notes

PropertyYesYes, 5 yearsClear guidance exists
SharesYesYes, 5 yearsClear guidance exists
CryptoUnclearUnclearAuthority silence; seek advice

Lost and Stolen Crypto

No official position has been taken by the IAPR regarding tax deductions for lost, scammed, or stolen crypto assets. However, international practice sometimes allows such deductions if stringent proof is available. If you have lost crypto through hacks or scams, consult a Greek crypto tax professional before making any claims on your return. Document all evidence of theft, loss, or platform failure.

Defi Tax

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Taxation

Greece currently applies the same core tax principles to DeFi activities as it does to other forms of earning and trading crypto. This includes:

  • Swapping tokens on DEXs: Each swap is a taxable event, with gains or losses calculated in EUR.
  • Earning yield or interest: Income from liquidity provision, lending protocols, or staking via DeFi is considered regular income, to be taxed according to the progressive scale.

Examples:

  • Providing liquidity to a decentralized exchange and earning reward tokens? The FMV in EUR of these tokens at the time they are received is considered income.
  • Swapping LP tokens for another crypto? Trigger a capital gains calculation, same as with more traditional token swaps.

Frequently Asked Questions (faq)

What cryptocurrencies are subject to tax in Greece?

All cryptocurrencies and digital assets—Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, altcoins, and tokens—are subject to tax in Greece if they result in capital gains, are swapped, sold, or earned as income. The definition of “crypto asset” is broad and covers any decentralized or centralized blockchain-based digital token that can be traded, swapped, or spent. NFTs may fall under different rules depending on use and context and should be handled with care when reporting.

How do I calculate my crypto tax liability?

To calculate your crypto tax, identify all taxable events (disposals, swaps, earned income) within the tax year. For capital gains, subtract your cost basis (total purchase price plus fees) from the proceeds or current market value at disposal. Income is calculated based on EUR fair market value when received. Organize and store all transaction records, apply FIFO or weighted average as your accounting method, and accurately reflect gains, losses, and earnings in your annual tax declaration.

What records should I keep for crypto taxes?

You should maintain detailed records for every crypto transaction, including:

  • Date of acquisition and disposal
  • Type and amount of each crypto asset involved
  • EUR value at acquisition and at disposal
  • Wallet addresses and transaction IDs
  • Supporting documentation (exchange statements, invoices, DeFi contracts)

Adequate recordkeeping not only helps with your annual filing but is essential in case of a tax audit or inquiry from the IAPR.

When are crypto taxes due in Greece?

Crypto-related capital gains and income must be reported with your regular annual tax return, which is due by June 30 each year. The financial (tax) year in Greece runs from January 1 to December 31. Ensure all taxable events from the previous year are included. Late submission or underreporting could subject you to interest and penalties.

What happens if I don’t report crypto taxes?

Failure to report crypto-related capital gains or income can result in hefty penalties, interest on unpaid taxes, and increased scrutiny from the IAPR. As the IAPR collaborates with international exchanges and leverages advanced blockchain analytics, the risk of discovery is significant. Non-compliance may trigger audits and further legal action, so timely, accurate reporting is strongly recommended.

 


 

For Greek crypto investors and traders, 2025 brings more certainty alongside new responsibilities. By staying informed, keeping precise records, and leveraging trusted platforms such as WEEX, you can confidently navigate your crypto journey while remaining fully compliant with Greece’s evolving tax landscape.

Serenity & Leopold & Nvidia & Trump — Who Is the “Shill King”?

The AI boom in the U.S. stock market continues to run hot, with supply chain bottlenecks, foreign investment, and policy catalysts weaving together to form the most compelling narrative. Against this backdrop, a select few highly influential “Shill Kings” have begun to steer market capital flows with their precise stock-picking success rates.From Reddit retail trading gurus to top-tier AI think tanks, from tech giant CEOs to high-profile political figures, whose market influence and stock-picking success rate comes out on top? WEEX Labs provides an in-depth analysis of the performance and strategic logic behind these four key “Shill Kings.” Serenity (@aleabitoreddit): The “Microscopic Shovel” Hunter of WSBAs a highly influential veteran trader on the WallStreetBets (WSB) subreddit, Serenity is a quintessential hardcore technical analyst and grassroots leader, known for his anime avatar and freely shared research.Serenity focuses intently on critical supporting segments within the NVIDIA AI chip supply chain. His core methodology centers on identifying key chokepoints in this ecosystem—specifically, the indispensable “screw-like” components essential to chip manufacturing and packaging. He targets irreplaceable small-cap upstream stocks in sectors such as photonics (CPO), optical interconnects, and HBM, which possess scarcity and pricing power.The performance of three core picks speaks for itself:SIVE (Sivers Semiconductors): Recommended 190 times; since the first public recommendation on March 16, 2026, the stock price has surged 19.6-fold. The company specializes in CPO lasers, which are indispensable core components in the AI optical interconnect sector.AAOI (Applied Optoelectronics): Recommended 123 times; the stock price has risen 5.10-fold since the first recommendation on January 26, 2026. It is a key supplier of high-speed optical modules for AI data centers.AXTI (AXT Inc.): Recommended 70 times, the stock has surged 9.02-fold since its first public recommendation on December 26, 2025. The company specializes in InP substrate materials, which feature extremely high technical barriers. Leopold Aschenbrenner: The 25-Year-Old Wall Street Stock Guru with an Institutional-Grade, Full-Chain AI StrategyAt just 25 years old, Leopold is arguably the current “chosen one” of the U.S. stock market. With a legendary track record at OpenAI and the FTX Future Fund, he has transformed the bold predictions from his forward-looking AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) paper, *Situational Awareness*, into a highly profitable investment portfolio with devastating precision.Not only are the holdings of his Situational Awareness LP fund wildly sought after on Wall Street, but his investment logic also targets the entire AI infrastructure chain. He believes the ultimate outcome of AI development is not just about algorithms, but a showdown between energy and computing power. Consequently, his portfolio is highly concentrated on companies transitioning from Bitcoin mining to data center computing power (such as Core Scientific and Riot Platforms) as well as upstream nuclear energy and electricity suppliers, creating a perfect closed-loop integration of cutting-edge technology and traditional infrastructure.Based on this grand framework, Leopold has executed an extremely clear “barbell strategy”:Long side (AI infrastructure): Betting on Bitcoin mining companies as the “precursors to AI data centers,” he heavily invested in Core Scientific (CORZ), Riot Platforms (RIOT), IREN, CleanSpark (CLSK), and others. These mining firms possess a vast number of high-density power sites and grid access rights, which can be directly converted into AI computing centers.Short side (traditional chip stocks): Simultaneously deployed put options with a notional value of approximately $7.46 billion to target NVIDIA ($1.57 billion), Broadcom ($1.01 billion), AMD, and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF ($2.04 billion).In terms of performance, the fund has delivered a total return of 267.46% since inception, with a Sharpe ratio of 3.58. Its average return over the past 12 months is approximately 265.37%, ranking 82nd among 488 hedge funds. NVDA (Nvidia) — A $18 Billion Investment in the Industry EcosystemAs the world’s largest AI computing leader by market capitalization, Nvidia Corp. does more than just sell GPUs; it binds the entire ecosystem through NVentures and direct equity investments. Its strategic investment portfolio—or every mention by CEO Jensen Huang in public—is interpreted by the market as an investment signal.According to Q1 2026 13F filings, the portfolio is valued at approximately $18.4 billion. So far this year, the company has publicly invested over $15 billion in AI infrastructure, with some companies mentioned by Huang in public standing out particularly:INTC (Intel) — 177.63% gain — A global leader in semiconductorsCRWV (CoreWeave) up 57.36% — AI cloud infrastructure providerCOHR (Coherent) up 86.74% — manufacturer of optical materials, lasers, and optoelectronic devicesNOK (Nokia) up 149.62% — telecommunications equipment giantLITE (Lumentum) Up 134.39% — Manufacturer of optical and photonic productsMRVL (Marvell) Up 145.47% — Semiconductor solutions providerJensen Huang excels at identifying and driving industry trends, and his predictions of “the next trillion-dollar company” often become market hotspots. Just as this article was being written, his call for Marvell to reach a trillion-dollar market cap once again demonstrated his immense influence, with MRVL surging over 26% in pre-market trading and hitting a record market cap of $243.5 billion. Trump: The “High-Frequency Trading President” in the White HouseAs one of the most influential figures in both political and business circles, Trump not only frequently makes trading calls regarding the cryptocurrency market, but his calls on the U.S. stock market also have the power to create wealth.According to disclosures from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump executed a total of 3,642 securities transactions in Q1 2026, with a transaction value ranging from approximately $220 million to $750 million, averaging about 58 trades per trading day. What has drawn even more market attention is his precise “buy first, then promote” trading strategy:Dell: On February 10, Trump’s personal account purchased between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock; three months later, on May 8, he publicly urged people at the White House to “go buy a Dell—they’re great,” causing Dell’s stock to surge by about 14% during trading and hit an all-time high. This came shortly after the Dell family had pledged $6.25 billion to the “Trump account.”Palantir (PLTR): On April 10, Trump directly mentioned the stock ticker symbol on Truth Social, stating that it had “proven to have strong combat capabilities and equipment.” The stock price surged 3.6% during trading, adding approximately $10.5 billion to its market capitalization.Intel (INTC): Since early March, he has been buying Intel in batches, creating a dual exposure through his personal account and government holdings (the U.S. government purchased a 9.9% stake in August 2025 at approximately $20.47 per share). Since then, Intel has risen by about 150%.Furthermore, Trump’s ability to influence macroeconomic narratives has translated into tangible market movements—he once posted announcing a “U.S.-Iran ceasefire,” which directly triggered a plunge in oil prices and a rebound in U.S. stocks; he also posted during a market panic stating “now is an excellent time to buy,” followed by an announcement suspending most tariffs, resulting in a 9.5% single-day surge in the S&P 500. This ability to issue trading signals with insider-level precision is something Wall Street cannot replicate. Conclusion: Is Serenity the ultimate trading signal king?Based on the data, all the top trading signal providers have deeply integrated AI infrastructure and each has its own strengths:In terms of post-recommendation gains: Serenity’s 19.6x return (SIVE) is unmatched; Trump’s 14% single-day surge shows strong explosive power but lacks sustainability.In terms of win rate: Serenity leads significantly with 88.6%, backed by a sufficient sample size (35 stocks), ensuring high statistical reliability.In terms of capital size and management capabilities: Leopold manages $13.67 billion, with a cumulative return of 247.81% and a Sharpe ratio of 3.32—performance on par with professional institutions; Nvidia has publicly invested over $15 billion in AI infrastructure, resulting in massive paper gains.Regarding the advantage of information asymmetry: Trump possesses policy-making authority and access to insider information, but retail investors cannot replicate this, and there are ethical and legal risks involved. td {white-space:nowrap;border:0.5pt solid #dee0e3;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal;word-wrap:normal;}SerenityLeopoldNvidiaTrumpRole Reddit WSB traderFormer OpenAI researcher/hedge fund manager Global chip giant Current U.S. PresidentReturns/GainsPersonal cumulative return: 38xFund total return: +267.46%Supply chain stocks up 57%–178% year-to-dateMany recommended stocks up 10%–150%Trade Accuracy31 out of 35, approx. 88.6% 14F holdings currently being verifiedNon-proactive trading callsAlmost every mention triggers immediate market movementAsset TypesNVIDIA upstream “screw” small-cap stocks Bitcoin mining firms/AI power stocks + chip put optionsAI industry chain partners U.S. manufacturing/tech giantsStyle TagsDeeply mining “bottlenecks”Macro “Barbell Strategy” for Computing PowerIndustrial EmpowermentSentiment and PowerTrading CharacteristicsEarly Positioning + Repeated Calls (SIVE made 190 calls) Hedge Fund 13F Quarterly Disclosures Passive Position MappingBuy First, Promote Later + Government Policy SynergyInfluence Mechanisms Community Consensus-Driven Institutional Capital Follow-ThroughIndustry Cycle Resonance Trinity of Policy + Capital + Presidential AuthorityFrom the perspective of ordinary investors seeking reliable, trackable, and consistently high-win-rate guidance, Serenity is currently the most noteworthy “signal provider” on the market—with a transparent research framework, high signal frequency, clear investment logic, and all information available to the public for free. WEEX Coming Soon: Direct Access to U.S. Stocks, One-Click Copy Trading of Top SignalsWhile you’re following these top signal providers, WEEX is set to launch a trading section offering direct access to U.S. stocks, allowing users to invest directly in thousands of U.S. stocks—from tech giants like NVIDIA and Tesla to small-cap “cogs in the supply chain” identified by Serenity—all in one place.Switch freely between your crypto holdings and the world’s highest-quality U.S. stock assets.⏳ Stay tuned for the WEEX U.S. Stock Trading Section, pumping soon. Risk DisclosureWEEX Labs would like to remind you: A high win rate does not equate to zero risk; Serenity’s four losing trades also experienced significant drawdowns.

Best AI Stock to Buy in 2026: 6 Top Picks and How to Buy

Key Takeaways:AI has shifted from software to physical infrastructure — data centers, servers, power, and coolingSix stocks dominate the 2026 AI data center buildout: NVDA, AMZN, MSFT, AMD, ORCL, SMCIPower and cooling are now the binding constraints, not chips or capitalTrade these AI stocks on WEEX TradFi using USDT-margined perpetual contractsWhat Is the Best AI Stock to Buy in 2026?

If you're asking "what AI stock should I invest in" right now, you're not alone. The 2026 AI trade has moved away from pure software plays. The real money is flowing into physical infrastructure — data centers, AI servers, power systems, cooling, and networking.

Here's the reality: hyperscalers can't build capacity fast enough. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are spending hundreds of billions on AI data centers. Cloud backlogs are larger than available compute. And the binding constraints are no longer GPUs — they're power, cooling, and land.

This article breaks down the 6 best AI data center stocks for 2026, their core roles in the buildout, and how you can trade them on WEEX TradFi smoothly.

Why AI Data Center Stocks Matter in 2026

Four structural forces are driving the AI data center cycle:

Hyperscaler capex has reached industrial scale. Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are expected to spend hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure in 2026. This is no longer a cloud software story. It's a physical buildout that benefits the entire data center ecosystem.Cloud backlogs exceed available capacity. Microsoft has reported over $80 billion in unfulfilled Azure orders. Customers are committing to future AI capacity before it exists. The market's focus has shifted from near-term margins to capacity visibility.Power and cooling are the real bottlenecks. AI data centers consume massive electricity. In many regions, grid access and interconnection timelines are slowing expansion more than capital availability. Companies with secured power access now have a strategic advantage.AI servers are becoming highly specialized. High-density racks, liquid cooling, and faster networking are essential for training and inference. This benefits companies that supply or operate the physical infrastructure layer.The 6 Best AI Stocks to Watch in 2026

Here's the list. Each stock captures a different part of the AI infrastructure stack.

NVIDIA (NVDA)

Core role: GPU compute + CUDA software ecosystem

NVIDIA remains the central compute supplier for AI data centers. Its GPUs power most frontier training workloads. CUDA keeps developers, AI frameworks, and enterprise infrastructure tied to NVIDIA hardware.

Q1 FY2027 results: Revenue hit 81.6billion,adjustedEPS81.6billion,adjustedEPS1.87. Both beat consensus. The Vera Rubin platform launches in H2 2026 and is expected to remain supply-constrained throughout its lifecycle.

The moat: Developer ecosystem. Hyperscaler custom silicon may reduce GPU reliance for some inference workloads, but most AI frameworks optimize for CUDA first.

Risk: Custom chips from AWS, Google, and Microsoft could gain inference share over time, putting pressure on NVIDIA's pricing power.

2026 outlook: Still the most direct large-cap AI compute play. Market cap near $5.4 trillion. Rubin ramp is the next major catalyst.

Amazon (AMZN)

Core role: AWS + custom silicon (Trainium, Inferentia)

Amazon is the largest hyperscale cloud platform by absolute scale. AWS is aggressively expanding AI capacity as enterprise demand accelerates.

The thesis: AWS reached an annualized revenue run rate of 142 billion. AWS AI revenue now runs a troughly 15 billion annually, up from about $5 billion entering 2025. Trainium 2 and Inferentia 3 give Amazon a vertically integrated custom silicon roadmap.

Risk: If AI revenue growth fails to keep pace with rising capex, free cash flow pressure could trigger multiple compression.

2026 outlook: Strongest monetization of AI infrastructure among hyperscalers.

Trade Amazon (AMZN) futures on WEEX TradFi

Microsoft (MSFT)

Core role: Azure cloud + OpenAI infrastructure

Microsoft sits directly behind much of the frontier AI workload growth. Its OpenAI partnership gives unique exposure to large-scale model training and inference demand.

The advantage: Breadth across the AI stack — Azure infrastructure, OpenAI model access, Copilot applications, developer tools, and custom silicon (Cobalt CPUs, Maia AI accelerators).

Risk: Investors are still digesting the scale of the capex commitment, even as demand remains supply-constrained.

2026 outlook: Azure growth remains capacity-constrained. The $80B backlog provides high revenue visibility.

Trade Microsoft (MSFT) futures on WEEX TradFi

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

Core role: AI accelerators + EPYC server CPUs

AMD is the primary commercial alternative to NVIDIA in AI accelerators. Its EPYC server CPU franchise gives it a strong position inside data center infrastructure.

Q1 2026 results: Revenue reached 10.3billion,up3810.3billion,up385.8 billion. Management guided Q2 revenue to roughly $11.2 billion, above consensus.

The underappreciated angle: Agentic AI workloads increase CPU requirements for every accelerator deployed. AMD expects server CPU revenue to grow more than 70% in 2026. The multi-year Meta agreement to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs across its AI infrastructure is a major catalyst.

Risk: MI450 execution and continued EPYC share gains are the key focus areas.

2026 outlook: Shares up roughly 66% YTD. The main question is whether AMD can take meaningful inference share from NVIDIA.

Oracle (ORCL)

Core role: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure + Stargate AI partnership

Oracle has transformed from an enterprise database company into one of the fastest-growing AI cloud infrastructure names. The Stargate partnership with OpenAI is the main driver.

Q3 FY2026 results: Total revenue reached $8.9 billion. OCI revenue surged 84% to $553 billion.

The opportunity: Oracle is constructing AI data center capacity across Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Michigan as part of the Stargate buildout.

The risk: Fiscal 2026 capex is expected to reach roughly $50.6 billion, pushing free cash flow deeply negative as Oracle invests ahead of revenue conversion.

2026 outlook: High-growth, high-risk. The $553B RPO provides visibility, but backlog conversion depends on power and construction timelines.

Trade Oracle (ORCL) futures on WEEX TradFi

Super Micro Computer (SMCI)

Core role: AI server integration + liquid cooling systems

Super Micro builds complete rack-scale AI systems that integrate GPUs, CPUs, networking, memory, and liquid cooling. Its direct liquid cooling position is critical as high-density AI data centers require better thermal management.

The catch: Q3 FY2026 included a $2.25 billion revenue miss versus consensus, mainly due to timing delays in data center orders. Margins showed improvement, but the miss spooked the market.

The risk: SMCI has faced delayed filings, auditor changes, accounting concerns, and headline risk. Shares now trade around 35,farbelowtheMarch2024highof35,farbelowtheMarch2024highof118.81.

2026 outlook: High-beta AI server stock. Massive upside if rack-scale AI demand accelerates. Significant downside if execution problems continue.

Risks to Know Before Trading AI Stocks

These stocks offer exposure to a massive infrastructure cycle, but they carry real risks:

Hyperscaler capex execution risk — Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle are spending record amounts. If AI revenue growth lags, free cash flow pressure could trigger sharp multiple compression.Custom silicon risk for NVIDIA — AWS Trainium, Google TPU, Microsoft Maia, and Meta MTIA are all designed to reduce reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. If custom chips gain inference share faster than expected, NVIDIA's margins could face pressure.Oracle backlog conversion risk — Oracle's $553B RPO is tied to AI infrastructure and Stargate. Any delay in data center construction or power availability could push out revenue recognition.SMCI execution and governance risk — Auditor scrutiny, compliance concerns, and order timing delays can create sharp earnings-related volatility.Power and grid bottlenecks — AI data center expansion is increasingly constrained by electricity access and interconnection timelines. Delays in power availability can push out capacity deployment for the entire sector.Leverage and liquidation risk — Data center stocks can move sharply on earnings and AI demand commentary. Traders using USDT-margined futures should manage position size carefully and always use stop-loss orders.Conclusion

The best AI stock to buy in 2026 depends on which part of the infrastructure stack you want exposure to. NVIDIA captures the GPU compute layer. AMD offers AI accelerators and server CPUs. Amazon and Microsoft anchor the hyperscale cloud thesis. Oracle provides high-growth cloud infrastructure through OCI and Stargate. Super Micro Computer offers direct exposure to rack-scale AI server deployment. Each stock carries a different risk profile.

For active traders, WEEX TradFi provides a crypto-native way to trade all six names using USDT-margined perpetual contracts. Conservative position sizing, leverage control, and stop-loss orders are essential before entering any trade. The AI infrastructure cycle is still early, but volatility remains high — manage your risk accordingly.

How to Buy Apple Stock on WEEX TradfFi in 2026: A Guide for TradFi and Crypto Investors

Apple remains a $4 trillion tech powerhouse — but traditional brokerages are no longer your only option. Here’s how to invest in 2026.

Key TakeawaysApple (AAPL) trades near its all-time highs, with analyst targets averaging $310 per share for 2026 — a potential 10%+ upside from current levelsYou can now gain exposure to Apple’s stock price 24/7 through WEEX TradFi perpetual futures — no brokerage account, no fiat deposit, no KYC hasslesUnlike traditional brokers, WEEX lets you trade Apple with USDT collateral, adjustable leverage (up to 100x), and the same interface crypto traders already use

Old Way: How to Buy Apple Stock Through a Brokerage

Before we explore better alternatives, here’s how traditional investors buy Apple shares:

Step 1: Choose a regulated brokerage (Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood, etc.)Step 2: Complete identity verification and KYC (can take 2-5 business days)Step 3: Fund your account with USD via bank wire (another 1-3 days)Step 4: Buy AAPL shares during Nasdaq trading hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET)

The problem: This process assumes you have access to the U.S. banking system. For millions of global investors — particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America — opening a U.S. brokerage account ranges from difficult to impossible.

Even for those who can, you’re locked into fixed trading hours, minimum share purchases, and no leverage unless you apply for a margin account.

New Way: Trade Apple Perpetual Futures on WEEX TradFi in 2026

WEEX TradFi offers a fundamentally different approach. Instead of buying shares through a broker, you trade USDT-margined perpetual futures that track Apple’s real-time stock price — 7x24, with no brokerage account required.

What Are Apple Perpetual Futures?

A perpetual futures contract is a derivative that tracks the price of an underlying asset — in this case, Apple (AAPL) stock — but with no expiration date. You can hold a position for minutes, days, or months without worrying about contract rollovers.

Unlike traditional futures, perpetuals use a funding rate mechanism to keep the contract price anchored to Apple’s actual stock price on Nasdaq. Every 4 to 8 hours, longs pay shorts (or vice versa) depending on whether the perpetual is trading at a premium or discount to the spot price.

For crypto traders, this structure is already familiar — it’s exactly how BTC and ETH perpetuals work. WEEX applies the same logic to Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and other major stocks.

How WEEX TradFi Compares to Traditional Brokerages td {white-space:nowrap;border:0.5pt solid #dee0e3;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal;word-wrap:normal;}FeatureWEEX TradFiTraditional BrokerAccount setupMinutes, using existing crypto accountDays to weeks, plus bank verificationTrading hours7X24Nasdaq hours only (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET)Minimum tradeFractional (as little as $1 USDT)1 full share (~$270+)LeverageAdjustable up to 50xNone without margin accountCollateralUSDT (no fiat needed)USD via bank wireShort sellingBuilt-in (go long or short)Requires margin account approvalGlobal accessYes — any country where crypto trading is permittedRestricted by brokerage licensingWhy WEEX TradFi Works Better for Global Investors

WEEX solves three major friction points that traditional brokerages can’t:

No Banking Dependency

You don’t need a U.S. bank account, a local bank that supports international wires, or any fiat currency at all. Deposit USDT from any wallet, exchange, or OTC desk — on-chain transfers take minutes, not days.

Trade When News Breaks

Apple reports earnings, the Fed announces rate cuts, or a supply chain disruption hits China — these events don’t wait for the Nasdaq opening bell. With 24/7 trading on WEEX, you can enter or exit positions immediately when news breaks, not 12 hours later.

Unified Portfolio Management

Your Apple position sits alongside gold, oil, forex, and crypto — all in one USDT account. No separate logins, no capital transfers between platforms, no fragmented margin.

How to Trade Apple Futures on WEEX in 2026: Step-by-Step GuideStep 1: Create Your WEEX Account

Go to WEEX official website and register with your email or phone number. Complete basic KYC verification — this typically takes 5-10 minutes.

Step 2: Deposit USDT

Transfer USDT to your WEEX account or buy directly via fiat or quick buy. Choose any network — ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20 — all are supported.

Step 3: Search for Apple Perpetual Contracts

Go to the WEEX Futures page and search for AAPLUSDT.

Step 4: Set Your Leverage

Adjust leverage from 1x to 50x. Lower leverage (2-5x) mimics spot exposure with less risk. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses — use cautiously.

You can access up to 100x leverage on AAPL.

Step 5: Choose Long or ShortLong if you expect Apple’s stock price to riseShort if you expect Apple’s stock price to fall

Unlike traditional brokers, short selling on WEEX requires no margin account approval or share borrowing — just click “Sell” and you’re short.

Step 6: Place Your Order

Choose between:

Market order — executes immediately at current priceLimit order — executes only at your specified priceStop-loss / Take-profit — automatic exit levels for risk management

Note: Always set stop-loss and take-profit before clicking buy.

Step 7: Monitor Funding Rates

Every 8 hours, a funding fee is exchanged between longs and shorts. Check the current rate before holding positions overnight. In most market conditions, funding rates are minimal (0.01% or less).

How to Trade Apple Futures Safely: 4 Strategies for BeginnersStrategy 1: Earnings Season Directional Plays

Apple reports earnings four times per year. The stock typically moves 3-7% on the day of release. With WEEX perpetuals, you can:

Enter a position minutes before the report (no settlement delays)Use 3-5x leverage to amplify the moveSet tight stop-losses (2-3%) to cap downsideStrategy 2: Hedging a Crypto Portfolio

If you hold significant crypto, Apple often moves independently of Bitcoin. During crypto drawdowns, Apple may hold steady or rise — especially if macro fears (inflation, rates) are driving the selloff. A long Apple position can offset crypto losses.

Strategy 3: News-Based Scalping

Apple is constantly in the news — product launches (iPhone 18 expected September 2026), supply chain updates, antitrust rulings, China relations. Each event creates intraday volatility. With 24/7 access, you can trade these headlines immediately, not the next morning.

Strategy 4: Diversification Without Brokerage Overhead

For crypto-native investors who don’t want to open a traditional brokerage account, WEEX TradFi offers a single interface for Apple, gold, oil, forex, and crypto. Rebalance across asset classes without leaving the platform.

Final Thoughts: Buy Apple Stocks on WEEX TradFi

Apple remains one of the most important companies in the global economy — 4 trillion in market cap, 400 billion in annual revenue, and a device ecosystem that touches billions of users. Gaining exposure to Apple’s price movements is a core position for many investors.

Traditional brokerages served the 20th century well. In 2026, you have better options: 24/7 trading, no banking friction, fractional access, and unified portfolio management with crypto and commodities — all from a single USDT account.

WEEX TradFi isn’t just an alternative to Robinhood or Fidelity. It’s a fundamentally different paradigm: stock exposure designed for the crypto-native world.

How to Trade FUTU Futures in 2026: Why WEEX TradFi is the Best Choice for Beginners

You’re not here for dividends. You’re here because Futu Holdings (FUTU) powers China’s online brokerage boom—and you want to know: too late, or just getting started?

By 2026, Futu’s twin apps (Futubull and Moomoo) made it a $21.7 billion force. But active traders know: while others wait for the NASDAQ bell, the smart crowd trades FUTU futures 24/7 on crypto exchanges.

This guide covers: what FUTU futures are, how TradFi perpetual contracts work, and how to trade them without a traditional broker account.

What Is Futu Holdings

Futu Holdings is the parent company behind Futubull and Moomoo — two digital brokerage platforms dominating Hong Kong, Singapore, and increasingly the US market .

The company makes money three ways:

Brokerage commissions from every trade users placeMargin financing interest when traders borrow to leverage upWealth management fees from fund products

As of May 2026, FUTU trades around 124–124–155 per share, with a 52-week range between 96.27 and 202.53 . The stock is volatile — exactly what futures traders want.

FUTU Recent earnings snapshot (Q4 2025):

EPS: 3.07(beatestimatesby3.07(beatestimatesby0.01)Revenue: 827.15million(above827.15million(above788.73M expected)Next earnings (Q1 2026): estimated June 4, 2026What Are FUTU Futures

Traditional futures are contracts to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific future date. They expire. You have to roll them over. It’s a headache.

FUTU futures on WEEX Exchange work differently.

What you’re trading is a perpetual contract — no expiration date, no rollover, no physical delivery. You hold the position as long as you want and close it when you’re ready.

Here’s the key: you’re not buying Futu stock. You’re trading the price movement of FUTU using USDT as your margin. Go long if you think earnings will crush estimates. Go short if you think the Hong Kong market cools off.

What Is TradFi Perpetual Contracts

TradFi stands for Traditional Finance — stocks, commodities, forex, gold. TradFi perpetual contracts apply crypto’s most successful derivative structure (the perp) to these traditional assets .

How they work:

You deposit USDT. You choose an asset — FUTU stock, gold, crude oil, NASDAQ indices. You open a position with leverage. No broker account. No USD bank transfer. No tax forms. Just a crypto wallet and a few clicks .

Key differences from traditional futures:

td {white-space:nowrap;border:0.5pt solid #dee0e3;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal;word-wrap:normal;}FeatureTraditional FuturesTradFi Perpetuals (on WEEX)Expiration dateYes — must roll overNo — hold indefinitelySettlement currencyUSD, HKD, etc.USDTTrading hoursMarket-specific sessions7月24日Physical deliveryPossible for commoditiesNever — cash settledAccount neededBrokerage accountCrypto wallet + exchange account

The funding rate mechanism keeps the perpetual price anchored to the real FUTU stock price. Every few hours, longs pay shorts or shorts pay longs depending on which side is more crowded .

This structure has exploded in 2026. Binance’s TradFi perp volume grew from 0.2% to 4.9% of major futures markets in just 90 days — with silver perps hitting 20.8% of COMEX volume at peak .

Why FUTU Futures in 2026Earnings volatility

Futu reports Q1 2026 earnings around June 4 . The stock moved 15-20% around past reports. With 10x leverage, that’s a 150-200% move — in either direction.

Hong Kong-China retail boom

Chinese retail investors are hungry for US stocks. Futu’s platforms are their primary gateway. As long as that demand holds, FUTU stays relevant.

24/7 access to NASDAQ names

Futu trades on NASDAQ. NASDAQ closes at 4 PM ET. If news drops at 9 PM, traditional traders wait until morning. FUTU futures traders act immediately .

No PDT rule

The Pattern Day Trader rule (25k minimum for frequent trading) doesn’t apply to crypto-based futures. Trade as much as you want with whatever capital you have.

Note: Stock is for investors. Futures are for traders.

How to Trade FUTU Futures on WEEX TradFi: Step-by-StepStep 1: Deposit funds

You need to deposit USDT (Tether) on WEEX. Buy USDT with fiat or transfer from your crypto wallet.

Step 2: Find the FUTU perpetual contract

Go to the WEEX Futures page and search for FUTUUSDT.

Step 3: Decide to go long or short

Go long: You expect Futu’s next earnings to beat estimates or Hong Kong retail activity to surgeGo short: You think valuation is stretched or competition (like Tiger Brokers) is eating market share

Step 4: Set leverage

Start small. 5x or 10x is plenty for beginners. 100x leverage means a 1% move against you liquidates your position. You can access up to 50x leverage on FUTU .

Step 5: Place stop-loss and take-profit

Always set stop-loss and take-profit before clicking buy. The market can gap overnight. Stop-losses save accounts.

Step 6: Monitor funding rates

Check the funding rate before holding overnight. If it’s high, you’re paying to keep the position open.

Key Risks to Know Before Trading FUTU FuturesLiquidation risk: Leverage magnifies losses. A 10% drop with 10x leverage = 100% loss. Your position closes automatically when margin runs out.Funding rate cost: If everyone is bullish on FUTU, longs pay shorts. Holding through high funding rates eats profits.Basis risk: The perpetual price tracks the real FUTU price via an index. In extreme volatility, the basis can widen before correcting.After-hours spreads: When NASDAQ is closed, FUTU futures still trade. Liquidity can thin out, widening spreads .Conclusion

The debate is whether Chinese retail demand for US stocks will cool off. The data says no. Hong Kong and Singapore trading volumes remain strong, and Futu's platforms keep adding users.

Even if competitors catch up, Futu holds the edge. Its app experience and liquidity keep traders locked in. For active traders: earnings volatility + 24/7 markets + leverage = opportunity.

Can Silver Hit $200 in 2026? Trade XAG Futures on WEEX TradFi

In early 2026, the momentum was undeniable. Silver smashed through the $100 barrier, seemingly validating Robert Kiyosaki's most aggressive calls.

However, as of late May 2026, the metal has retraced sharply, hovering in the 73–73–80 range.

That volatility begs the question: Is the bull run over, or is this the last chance to buy before the predicted surge to $200?

While Kiyosaki doubles down on his “fiat is trash” narrative, the market mechanics have shifted. Here is the professional breakdown of the silver price 2026 outlook and why sophisticated traders are moving to platforms like WEEX TradFi to position for the next leg up.

Why This Correction Isn’t a Collapse

To understand if silver can reach $200, we have to respect the bear arguments first.

Recently, institutions like UBS have slashed price targets, citing a slowdown in Chinese solar panel demand and a retreat in ETF inflows. The physical deficit is shrinking, and high interest rates remain a headwind.

But here is the contrarian view. Kiyosaki’s $200 prediction isn’t based on current industrial demand alone. It’s based on currency debasement. With the Fed signaling shifts in monetary policy and the dollar index showing structural weakness, the “fake money” printing press is spinning up again.

Silver remains one of the most undervalued hard assets. Once the Fed pivots, the metal could gap higher violently.

The 2026 Supply Crunch vs. Green Demand

Ignoring short-term noise, the macro setup for silver price 2026 is still bullish. Even UBS admits the market is in a deficit — just a smaller one than last year.

Solar & EVs – The “low silver” tech isn’t ready for prime time. Photovoltaic silver paste consumption remains high.The catch‑up trade – Gold is at all‑time highs. Historically, when the gold‑to‑silver ratio is elevated, silver eventually plays catch‑up.

If you wait for $80 to hold before buying, you might end up chasing the price. The smart money is setting limit orders on the dip.

Should Investors Buy Silver Now?

Not everyone should buy silver just because Kiyosaki says so. It really comes down to how much risk you can stomach and what you're trying to achieve.

If you think inflation isn't going away and the dollar will keep sliding, silver makes sense as a long-term hedge. But don't kid yourself — this market is a rollercoaster. Prices can swing 10% in a single week, let alone a month.

That's why most seasoned investors don't go all in. They treat silver as one piece of a bigger puzzle — alongside stocks, crypto, or even cash. Spreading your chips around keeps you sleeping at night when silver decides to take a 20% dive.

Trade XAG on WEEX

Forget waiting for COMEX hours. To capitalize on overnight volatility driven by Asian markets or Middle East tensions, you need a platform that never sleeps.

This is why professional retail traders choose to Trade XAG on WEEX.

Unlike traditional brokers that freeze during news events, WEEX operates 24/7.

Liquidity: Allowing you to go long or short with leverage up to 400x.Real‑World Asset (RWA) access: Trade tokenized silver that directly tracks the spot price, avoiding the rollover costs of traditional futures.Security: Transparent proof of reserves and a “no KYC hassle” for crypto natives, bridging the gap between TradFi security and DeFi accessibility.

Conclusion: Trade Silver on WEEX TradFi

Let's be real — Kiyosaki's $200 call has gotten everyone talking. And sure, he's got some solid points backing him up: fiat currencies looking shaky, inflation still hanging around, and green tech hungry for more silver.

But here's the catch. Silver is wild. Always has been. Hitting $200 is a long shot, not a sure thing. So don't get emotional. Don't chase pumps. Manage your risk like a pro, or this market will eat you alive.

If you want to trade silver without the old-school broker headaches, WEEX TradFi gives you 24/7 access, deep liquidity, and the ability to hedge both crypto and hard assets in one place.

FAQ

Q: What is the current silver price trend for 2026?

As of late May 2026, silver is trading in a correction zone between 73and73and80, pulling back from highs above $100 due to easing supply deficits and rising interest rates.

Q: Is it safe to Trade XAG Futures on WEEX TradFi?

Yes. WEEX has established itself as a secure gateway between crypto and traditional finance. The platform provides proof of reserves and adheres to strict risk controls for its XAG perpetual futures.

Q: Will silver ever reach $100?

Silver has already broken the triple-digit mark. The precious metal made history by officially surging past $100 per troy ounce for the first time.
