- Which of the following statements are FALSE? Crypto-collateralised stablecoins backed by a basket of other cryptocurrencies are more diversified and hence more stable than those backed by a fiat currency such as the USD. Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are very similar since both raise funds for companies and both represent an equity stake in a company either in the form of shares (IPOs) or tokens (ICOs).

When a buyer seeks to buy a stock, the willingness of other parties to sell the same stock suggests that they value the stock differently. O When private information is relegated to the hands of a relatively small number of investors, these investors may be able to profit by trading on their information. Since stock markets aggregate the information and views of many different investors, we expect the stock price to react quickly to new publicly available information as the investors continue to trade until a consensus is reached as to the new value of the stock. If the profit opportunities from having private expertise are large, other individuals will attempt to gain the expertise and devote at least as large amount of resources needed to acquire it.arrow_forwardStocks are proof of ownership in the company. Imagine a warehouse of goods to be sold where different people own the "stock" or inventory of the company. When their portion of the inventory is sold, they get a profit on that portion. If the stock does not sell, is destroyed, or stolen, the stock loses value. This is the risk. Bonds are proof of debt a company must pay back. Imagine the same company, but instead the owner keeps the stock to himself but requires a loan to buy it all. This is debt, and that debt is sold as a bond where the owner promises to pay the investor back MORE than he borrowed. However, this has to be paid back regardless if the inventory (stock) is sold or loses value. You have $50,000 to invest. Which one do you buy? Why?arrow_forward
