Nearly every part of our lives has been enhanced by digital convenience, and the way of wealth generation is no exception. The digital asset momentum, driven by underpinning blockchain technologies, has far-reaching benefits that the millennials and even the gen z find a force to reckon with. Before deep-diving into modern investments, let’s take a step back and look at all the pieces encompassing the investment landscape.

Investment Assets: The past, the now, and the future

Investment instruments have evolved over the years, the resilient traditional assets are being replaced with modern highly rewarding, but volatile, assets.

While resilient traditional assets continue to hold a strong ground, growing popularity of modern investment assets is creating a strong competition. It has risen to prominence due to its high risk-reward nature. To recap, the basic categories of conventional assets include:
  • Stocks
  • Bonds
  • Real estate
  • Fixed deposit
  • Gold
Evaluation of investment products

Since the finance sector has seen a sharp uptick in digital transformation, digital assets have taken up more space, and the world of decentralized finance has witnessed a surge of innovative kinds of financial products. Here are a few:

Bitcoin

The world’s first cryptocurrency is also the largest in market share (>40%) and valuation.

Ether

Ether is the chief cryptocurrency in Ethereum – the world’s largest blockchain network.

Cardano

Launched in 2017, the ADA token named after French mathematician Ada Lovelace has exceeded a market cap of $71 billion.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Launched in 2013, and now has a market cap of over $33 billion.

NFTs

First introduced as Colored Coins in 2012, NFTs are a way of proving ownership over digital goods.

And today’s financial scenario has seen over 300 million people invest in crypto, with its daily trade volume rising to USD 82 billion.

A recent survey also indicated that a notable percentage of U.S. citizens consider cryptocurrencies for retirement options.

Much of the popularity growth in digital assets can be attributed to:

The downsides of modern investment assets

Bitcoins, NFTs, and cryptocurrencies are witnessing a meteoric rise, but they also have a few notable downsides. From being outlawed in many countries to not being regulated by the FCA (resulting in zero protection on investment), it is increasingly difficult for the crypto-types to gain acceptance from the masses. The troubles for the crypto-curious investors stack up even higher in the conversion department. As Bitcoin is not a fiat currency and is only limited to monetary value when converted to a cash equivalent, not many vendors go for its conversions for other cryptocurrency types. Additionally, the compact user base has made the currency increasingly volatile.

It is essential for investors not to get lured by high returns within a short timeframe and to remember that crypto markets are a highly risky and trouble-ridden game.

And yet, we know that cryptocurrencies (and other blockchain technologies) are here to stay.

The future of investing

While there is optimism for modern assets, there is a long way for it to be the investment option that people want it to be. This is majorly due to its high volatility. Just recently, on 13th June 2022, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell below $1 trillion this morning for the first time since February 2021.

 

With all the potential barriers to mass adoption, investors want to err on the safe side of modern investments. That is why, the future narrative is likely to expand the discussion of adopting some reliable and age-trusted aspects of conventional investment. One way to achieve this is through capital protected digital assets. In its simplest terms, regardless of what happens in the market, the minimum return will always be equal to the principal amount.

 

This will offer consumers everything they seek in an investment like decentralization, transparency, flexibility, and the chief one being risk mitigation.
