How would you like to lower your risk when investing in digital assets?
The Internet has democratized knowledge and many processes. Until a few decades ago, only a select few had access to resources about investing. Today, anyone signed up to a banking or telecommunications platform receives marketing campaigns for investing online.
But how safe it is? Are NFTs the only options? Do central banks vouch for them? It’s always helpful to do some research before making your hard-earned money work for you.
Let’s begin with some basic definitions.
Digital assets originally applied to media formats stored in a digital environment like documents, pictures and videos. Now, Nasdaq stock market explains that with the emergence of blockchain technology, the term “digital assets” has expanded to include asset-backed tokens, tokenized real estate, cryptocurrencies, and non-fungible tokens (NFT).
Tangible assets, like commodities and real estate, are now being tokenized and have created new opportunities for the digital marketplace.
How many people are investing in digital assets?
As of 2023, the average daily number of digital asset investors and traders was at 5.9 million. The global value of digital assets is at $1.5 trillion with an expected 33% year-over-year growth rate. Suffice to say, the rapid growth of digital assets has the potential to substantially impact the investment landscape.
