If you are looking at crypto as another asset class, you might just miss the boat. Crypto “currency” may be another asset class, but don’t be misled, currency is one very minor slice of the pie. Currently Bitcoin (technically a currency) is damn near all of crypto market cap, but blockchain, crypto coins, tokens, and NFT’s are not going anywhere and they are not another asset class, they are revolution and will forever be an alternate investing universe. Some may be monetized and be more traditional investments, but most will likely never be valued like traditional investments.

There are coins like $INDEX.X M, that gives investors exposure to baskets of crypto investments in DeFi, the metaverse, Web 3.0, and the data economy.

$ENJ.X is a gaming and NFT marketplace with their own interactive trading.

$LINK.X is a coin that is used for Chainlinks ecosystem, an oracle network that links blockchain smart contracts to real world data sources and is used by many relative crypto platforms.

$LUNA.X created a fiat pegged currency for almost a dozen important global currencies and will become more valuable as their coins are minted and burned to maintain the value of their algorithmic stable coins.

$AXS.X is a blockchain game with millions of dollars in daily transactions where users own in game items and are much more involved in creative and/or ownership opportunities.

$MANA.X is a blockchain hame focusing on the metaverse where individuals buy virtual land and build marketplaces and monetize other assets.

$FIL.X is a peer to peer file storage network, other similar platforms include $SC.X & $STORJ.X

$SNX.X is a coin that represents fractional shares of real world commodities like gold, stocks, or other tradable assets.

$FET.X is AI for exchange of data on chain who’s potential os still being harnessed

$LPT.X is like YouTube for Web 3.0 basically

Platforms like $COMP.X, $AAVE.X , $MKR.X allow person to person lending & borrowing

Decentralized exchanged like $UNI.X, $CAKE.X, and $SUSHI.X

Centralized exchanges like $COIN (public stock) or $CRO.X

$NMR.X is a hedge fund that allows data scientists and developers to develop machine learning models and compete at creating effective AI prediction models.

$CHZ.X is a sports coin that allows users to connect and enjoy special offers from their favorite sports clubs and organizations. Started with European soccer but recently signed UFC and NBA.

And platforms like $VET.X and $IOTX.X I expect to significantly impact the internet of things and supply chain logistics. If UPS or FedEx gets hold of either of these products, watch out.

Just a few examples off the top of my head to show how wide the world of crypto coins and toke s can really get. Looking at it as another asset class is foolish in my opinion. There is another investing world open to us, it’s open 24/7/365, how can it possibly be just another asset class, it’s clearly an entirely new market; please don’t miss the boat, at least start learning.

PS, I’m still 80%-90% stocks and not one of those crypto to the moon folks, it the possibilities are literally endless and I only get more excited the more I learn. Just expand your horizon beyond Bitcoin.
