What is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)?
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy designed to reduce the impact of volatility on large purchases of financial assets, such as cryptocurrencies. By dividing the total amount to be invested across periodic purchases of a target asset, the investment is spread out at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's price at any given time. This strategy can potentially lower the average cost per unit of the asset purchased, aiming to mitigate the risks of a lump-sum investment at a price peak.
