You could lose all the money you invest<\/p>\n\n<ul> \n<li>The performance of most cryptoassets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in cryptoassets.<\/li>\n<li>The cryptoasset market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money or any cryptoassets you purchase due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and firm failure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>2. You should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) doesn't protect this type of investment because it's not a 'specified investment' under the UK regulatory regime \u2013 in other words, this type of investment isn't recognised as the sort of investment that the FSCS can protect. Learn more by using the FSCS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fscs.org.uk\/check\/investmentprotection-checker\">investment protection checker<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will not be able to consider complaints related to this firm or Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA regulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialombudsman.org.uk\/consumers\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>3. You may not be able to sell your investment when you want to<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>There is no guarantee that investments in cryptoassets can be easily sold at any given time. The ability to sell a cryptoasset depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at that time.<\/li>\n<li>Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay and you may be unable to sell your cryptoassets at the time you want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>4. Cryptoasset investments can be complex<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Investments in cryptoassets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment.<\/li>\n<li>You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.<\/li>\n<li>A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about how to protect yourself, visit the FCA's website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/investsmart\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>For further information about cryptoassets, visit the FCA's website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/investsmart\/crypto-basics\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<script>\nfunction ukfcyshowmodal() {\nvar infomodal = document.getElementById(\"ukfcymodal\");\ninfomodal.classList.add('is-visible');\ninfomodal.setAttribute(\"aria-hidden\", \"false\");\ndocument.getElementById(\"ukfcymodalclosereal\").addEventListener('click',function()\n{\nvar infomodal = document.getElementById(\"ukfcymodal\");\ninfomodal.classList.remove('is-visible');\ninfomodal.setAttribute(\"aria-hidden\", \"true\");\n});\n};\n<\/script><p>With more and more people buying cryptocurrency, you may have wondered how you could diversify your investment portfolio and take advantage of the high-risk, high-reward crypto market.<\/p><p>You can hold cryptocurrencies as an investment over the medium to long term, or you can actively trade them over a shorter period.<\/p><p>Here we outline six ways you can expose your current portfolio to the cryptocurrency sector, and how to store your crypto investment safely.<\/p><h3>How do cryptocurrencies work?<\/h3><p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\">cryptocurrency<\/a> is a digital currency that\u2019s encoded using cryptography and based upon blockchain technology. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/blockchain-guide\">blockchain is a distributed ledger<\/a> contained on a network of public computers that anyone can join, which means that no one entity controls it. The network is kept secure thanks to decentralisation, cryptography and economic game theory.<\/p><p>The first cryptocurrency was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin<\/a>, which has grown to be the most valuable. Since Bitcoin, thousands of protocols and entities have generated their own native cryptocurrencies. They range in utility from governance to payment, but they\u2019re all transferred using blockchain technology and can be used to pay for goods and services or for investment purposes.<\/p><h3>Buying cryptocurrencies directly<\/h3><p>The most popular option for buying crypto directly is through a dedicated cryptocurrency exchange.<\/p><p>As cryptocurrency adoption has increased, so has the security and efficiency of exchanges, with many allowing you to buy crypto through simple debit card transactions. Some of the most popular exchanges currently include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/coinbase-exchange-review\">Coinbase<\/a>, CoinSpot and Binance (bear in mind that Binance offers cryptocurrency derivatives which the regulator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/news\/consumers-set-to-save-53m-after-regulator-tightens-crypto-rules\">banned from sale<\/a> to UK consumers in January 2021).<\/p><h4>Order types when buying crypto directly<\/h4><p>After selecting an exchange and a cryptocurrency to buy, you\u2019ll then need to choose between a <strong>market order<\/strong> and a <strong>limit order<\/strong>.<\/p><p>A market buy order is when the digital asset is bought at the current market value. This is often favourable for those starting out in the market. Some exchanges also offer an \u201cinstant buy\u201d service which does the same thing \u2013 although the fees may be a little higher.<\/p><p>In comparison, for experienced investors, a limit order may be more suitable. A buy limit order is when a set purchase price is specified. This would be applied if the current market value is above the price at which you would like to enter that market, allowing you to set a lower price and wait for the market to drop.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><h4>Dollar cost averaging<\/h4><p>If you\u2019re investing for the long term, remember that dollar-cost averaging is one of the best techniques for evenly distributing your capital.<\/p><p>Dollar-cost averaging is the process of making small investments regularly, rather than in one lump sum. The idea is to spread your capital over a longer time frame in order to take advantage of fluctuations in the market (i.e. when the price drops). Sticking to a regular schedule also helps eliminate the emotional side of investing \u2013 such as buying after seeing a big rally in price \u2013 which can be a trap for new investors.<\/p><p>This could mean making a series of small investments weekly, monthly or quarterly, depending on what\u2019s best for you.<\/p><p>This allows you to ignore short-term changes in price and eliminates the need for you to try and \u201ctime the market\u201d. Over time, if the underlying cryptocurrency has increased in value, your average purchase price will be much less than the current market price.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t fancy organising this yourself, you could use a recurring buy service through exchanges such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/coinbase-exchange-review\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coinbase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/gemini-exchange-review\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gemini<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/crypto-com-app-review\">Crypto.com<\/a>. Although keep in mind that the fees are usually a bit higher here than through buying on the spot market. Alternatively, you can use a round-up app such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bamboo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make regular microinvestments.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/article><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n

If the number of transactions increases on an exchange, the value of that token usually increases. Buying the underlying cryptocurrency means the investor can indirectly invest in the exchange. Although it\u2019s important to note that tokens don\u2019t confer ownership of the platform the same way that stocks do.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike DEXs, centralised exchanges such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/coinbase-exchange-review\">Coinbase<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/kraken-exchange-review\">Kraken<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/bitstamp-exchange-review\">Bitstamp<\/a> work based on a conventional brokerage system and therefore have no underlying token.

In return for this, the miner who solves the algorithm and adds the new block of transactions is rewarded with newly minted cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency that uses PoW mining to verify transactions. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Bitcoin mining requires specific equipment such as an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), other cryptocurrencies require less specific tools and can be completed using the average computer. There are also mining networks you can join for a fee, where several participants work together to mine and split the profits.<\/span><\/p><p>Instead of setting up your own mining rig, which is costly and time consuming, you could invest in companies that solely focus on cryptocurrency mining activity.

Validator nodes verify transactions, and are rewarded with freshly minted crypto for doing so. If a validator submits false transactions, then their staked coins are destroyed \u2013 creating an economic incentive to do the right thing. Proof-of-stake has become the new norm across the industry as it eliminates the massive energy requirement involved in proof-of-work mining used in coins like Bitcoin.<\/p><p>Staking has since evolved to include any process by which users deposit coins in return for income.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most popular vehicles for staking is through DeFi \u2013 an umbrella term for decentralised finance. This often involves lending the cryptocurrency you own to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.liquid.com\/liquidity-pools-defi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">liquidity pools<\/span><\/a> in return for additional cryptocurrency \u2013 either the same token you deposited or a different one.<\/p><h3>Other ways to invest in cryptocurrency<\/h3><p>With broad adoption comes broad innovation, and there are now plenty of niche opportunities to acquire cryptocurrency.<\/p><p>There are also plenty of options if you\u2019d like to perform small tasks in return for cryptocurrencies. Brave, a decentralised browser, rewards users for allowing advertisements with its native basic attention token (BAT). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/exchanges\/coinbase-exchange-review\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coinbase<\/span><\/a> promotes cryptocurrency education through its Coinbase earn initiative, which rewards users with a small amount of crypto after each lesson.<\/p><p>Airdrops \u2013 free giveaways of cryptocurrency \u2013 provide an opportunity to receive digital assets for free. Airdrops can be awarded for anything, although they often involve registration or promoting a new service, or they\u2019re awarded retroactively for certain actions (such as using a particular DeFi protocol).<\/p><p>Video games are also exploring the integration of cryptocurrency allowing you to earn cryptocurrency or NFTs while you play. Virtual worlds such as Decentraland, which combine elements of gaming, art and social media, even let users buy and trade virtual plots of land, artworks, buildings and clothing. If you\u2019re a digital designer, this could be a great way for you to earn a bit of extra income.<\/p><h3>How to choose cryptocurrencies to invest in<\/h3><p>Cryptocurrency investment requires due diligence and research just like any other form of investment. You need to weigh up the rewards against the risks. Consider the following when choosing a cryptocurrency:<\/p><ul><li>Fundamental research of the cryptocurrency\u2019s tokenomics (i.e. what makes the token valuable) and its associated protocol<\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The crypto\u2019s historical price chart \u2013 in order to determine a fair market price and previous fluctuations<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any upcoming events or news releases<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that cryptocurrency is highly volatile, and prices constantly fluctuate<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>How to store cryptocurrency safely<\/h3><p>If you\u2019ve bought cryptocurrency, storing your digital assets safely should be your next priority. Storing via an online exchange is very convenient and lets you easily transact and access your cryptocurrencies \u2013 however, as with anything online, there\u2019s always a vulnerability of being hacked.<\/p><p>One of the safest options is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cryptocurrency\/wallets\/best-cryptocurrency-hardware-wallets\">cold (offline) hardware storage wallet<\/a>, which protects your private keys (similar to a password).<\/p><p>These devices work by never sharing your private keys on the Internet.

Double-digit price swings occur regularly.<\/p><p>The wider crypto market has gone through several periods where prices fell consecutively for months or years on end, and may do so once again. As such, investing in cryptocurrency should be planned on time horizons spanning several years to account for periodic downturns.<\/p><p>Like any good investment, the key to mitigating risk is diversification. It\u2019s always advisable to spread the risk across multiple cryptocurrencies, which means that your portfolio isn\u2019t overly weighted by an individual token. Your cryptocurrency investments should also be part of a large portfolio of assets.<\/p><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><p><b>Can you invest in cryptocurrency if you\u2019re under 18?<\/b><\/p><p>You can invest in cryptocurrencies at any age. However, the age limit varies from service to service \u2013 for example, you must be over 18 to use Coinbase.<\/p><p><b>How can you invest in altcoins?<\/b><\/p><p>Altcoins are offered by many of the major cryptocurrency exchanges. While you can buy some using fiat currency (GBP, USD, AUD, EUR), many require Bitcoin or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/ethereum\">Ethereum<\/a> to complete the exchange.<\/p><p><b>How much money do you need to invest in cryptocurrency?<\/b><\/p><p>There\u2019s no set amount required in order to invest in crypto \u2013 in fact there are even services that let you buy it for as little as \u00a31.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block has-padding-small\"><p class=\"has-margin-bottom-xsmall\">*Cryptocurrencies aren't regulated in the UK and there's no protection from the Financial Ombudsman or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
