Learn how DCA works in crypto: when to use it, key risks, fees, El Salvador’s example and how it compares to lump-sum investing and other strategies.
DCA is a trading strategy that uses automated, small, regular buys to stay invested without trying to time every move.
There’s a clear precedent for scalability: El Salvador has been publicly DCA’ing 1 BTC per day since Nov. 17, 2022.
However, lump-sum investing often wins in uptrends — historically outperforming DCA about two-thirds of the time.
