Basic Crypto Investment Methods

To start investing in Crypto, you first need to adopt one of the four investment methods.

To do this, you must create an account with a crypto exchange. These are some of the biggest in the world: Binance, CoinbaseGemini &  Kraken . In India, you can look at WazirX & CoinDCX Although there are many more that offer excellent services, security and important returns for your investments.

2. Invest as you would in a SIP

The crypto asset space is more volatile compared to the stock market and the mutual fund space. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to make monthly purchases of your favourite basket of your Crypto digital assets. This would allow you to average out your price and ride out the volatilities in the short run, which could significantly help you improve your long term returns. 

3. Invest via a fund

Investing in a fund is good if you want a nuanced entry into the crypto asset space. Funds perform their due diligence work, filter assets, and have early access to deals that others may not have. These can help in generating good returns for your capital. A fund allows you to be hands-off and allows experts to focus on their expertise in generating returns via their understanding of the crypto space and fund management insights. /
Crypto is here to stay and your consistency and thoughtfulness of choices will play a very important role in the returns you will generate. With over 17,000 cryptocurrencies available, it is imperative to both know which ones to buy, when to buy and also how to buy and secure these assets.
