When this matters
Should you hold ETH or convert to USDC?
A converter page should answer more than math. The exchange rate tells you how much USDC you get for each ETH, but it does not tell you whether the trade improves your portfolio. That is why Alpha Factory pairs the live rate with Alpha Score and Risk Wave.
Alpha Score helps compare structural quality and risk, while Risk Wave adds timing context. When one coin wins both, the hold decision is usually clearer. When the metrics split, the rate may still matter for tactical reasons, but the longer-term verdict is closer to neutral.
The practical use case is simple: treat the conversion math as the transaction layer, then use the hold verdict as the portfolio layer. That keeps you from making swaps that look efficient on paper but weaken your overall setup.
