When investing money, many people go for two major routes: buying Cryptocurrency or investing in stocks. But what if you could combine the two and invest in stocks traded by companies that deal with Cryptocurrency? Doing so would be a great way for people more comfortable dealing with stocks to dip their toes into the digital assets pool.
Cryptocurrency vs. Stocks
A stock is something more people are familiar with. Stocks represent individual shares or ownership of a company. If you buy a company’s stocks, you own a part of the company and can therefore receive capital gains and dividends from the company. You can buy stocks from the public stock exchange after looking at a company’s financial statements.
On the other hand, Cryptocurrency is an entirely different asset. It is essentially digital files secured cryptographically and not sold via the stock market. Instead, Cryptocurrency is sold on a separate crypto exchange. Some Cryptocurrencies also give users some power over governing their underlying network.
