The crypto glossary that gets your money
Clear definitions, with no jargon, written by the Bitso team. From Bitcoin to DeFi, a space for Latin America to understand its money.
Take profit
An order that automatically closes your position once the price reaches the profit target you set.
Technical analysis
The study of price and volume on charts to identify trends and likely scenarios, without evaluating the asset's fundamentals.
Token
A digital asset that lives on another network's blockchain instead of having its own chain, and that can represent almost anything: voting rights, access to a service, a share in a pool, or ownership of a real-world asset.
Tokenization
The process of representing a real-world asset, such as real estate, gold, debt, or a work of art, as tokens on a blockchain, making it divisible, transferable in minutes, and paperwork-free to register.
How we built this glossary
This glossary is written and reviewed by the Bitso editorial team — the most used crypto platform in Latin America, with more than 9 million people trading in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil. Every definition goes through product, compliance and financial-education specialists before being published.
Our goal is simple: that you truly understand what each concept means before moving your money. That's why we avoid unnecessary technical language and explain everything with examples designed for the region. If a term changes or a new one appears, we review it and keep it up to date.
