How to buy Mastercard stock with tokenised assets

The tendency of the Mastercard stock price to move in a clearly defined trend makes this stock adequate for trend trading strategies. Instead of direct stock purchase, traders can simplify the trading process with tokenised shares available on the Dzengi.com tokenised assets platform.

Tokenisation of real-life assets such as stocks and commodities overcomes some of the major drawbacks associated with the direct investment in the underlying assets. The utilisation of blockchain technology and smart contracts enables the creation of tokens that reproduce the MA share price or the price of other assets. The application of innovative technology reduces transaction costs, augments security and speeds up the execution of trades.

Traders can buy Mastercard stock by buying the respective tokens that allow them to benefit from the price movements while excluding direct ownership. Unlike the direct purchase of shares, trading tokenised Mastercard shares can be performed with either fiat money or with crypto. Traders no longer need to convert their Bitcoin or Ether to capture the opportunities created with the movement in Mastercard stock price. 

By trading tokenised shares you have the opportunity to increase your potential gains with the leverage of 1:20 (a margin of 5%) provided on the Dzengi.com platform. For example, a trader that wants to invest $1,000 (£717) in MA shares might potentially make just $100 (£71) even with a 10% movement in the share price. The leverage offered by Dzengi.com means that traders will enter a position worth $20,000 (£14,345) with the same $1,000 when buying tokenised MA shares. Price change as low as 0.5% in the right direction might bring a gain of $100.
