Investing advice after crypto policy comes
On the question of inclusion of cryptocurrencies in the portfolio, IIFL Deputy Vice President and Strategy Head Yash Upadhyay said that if the Government of India and market regulator SEBI starts regulating it, then investors must invest in crypto as an asset class. According to Yash, 5-10 percent of the portfolio should be crypto.
Keep these things in mind before investing
- According to Yash, one should consider blue chip crypto assets while investing in crypto for the first time. Their market cap is high i.e. when investors sell their crypto holdings, they will easily get its customers.
- Investors should not make crypto buying and selling decisions based on the advice of social media like Reddit, Twitter and other influencers.
- According to Minal Thukral, Executive Vice President (Growth & Strategy), CoinDCX, one should find the answer before investing as to why to invest in crypto. If you want to invest immediately for profit, then the possibility of loss increases. Minal advises investors to invest in crypto for a long time and start with 2-5 percent capital initially and then invest regularly.
- Choose a trusted exchange to invest in crypto, according to Meenal, trusted exchanges list a coin on their platform only after due diligence, which reduces the risk of investors.
- Investors should also look at the range of tokens available in the crypto asset. As with many crypto assets like bitcoin, the supply is limited but Dogecoin has no maximum limit.
- Apart from the coin supply, investors should also consider its credibility and its founders before investing.

What is the future of crypto?
According to experts, at present, nothing can be said clearly about the future of the crypto market. According to Yash, crypto can become stronger in the long term. However, he has advised investors to avoid investing too much capital in crypto for now and also look at options like SIP (Systematic Investment Plan). According to Minal, investing through SIP will also help in reducing the risk associated with huge fluctuations in the price of crypto.
Where to hold cryptocurrency?
According to Minal, if you want to invest in cryptocurrencies for a long time, then you should look at the hardware assets to store your crypto assets. However, if you are investing for short term or small capital then a reliable exchange would be a better option. According to Minal, if the portfolio is small, then there is no need to move crypto assets from exchange wallet to hardware wallet as there is a fixed fee involved in this transfer. However, if the capital invested in crypto is high then it is better to transfer it. According to Minal, the transaction charge for transfer from one wallet to another is fixed.
