How to get exposure to crypto without owning crypto!

アップデート済

Getting into crypto doesn’t always mean buying tokens like , or directly onchain or even on centralized crypto exchanges. Sometimes, it’s easier, cheaper, and even more strategic to gain exposure through traditional investment vehicles

There’s a few reasons why:

* Tax efficiency: Many of these investments can be made through tax advantaged accounts, potentially saving you money come tax season and in the long run.

* Regulatory safety: Traditional investments often come with better regulatory oversight, reducing the risks associated with direct crypto ownership.

* Convenience: No need to set up wallets, remember seed phrases, or stress about hacks and CZ funds are SAFU tweets!

So you know the why, now let’s get into the 5 ways to ride the blockchain wave without owning a single coin.

1/ Crypto ETFs

If you’re looking to dip your toes into crypto, these funds offer exposure to digital assets without the hassle of managing a wallet. Spot/Leverage & ETFs: These funds directly track the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum, and some even offer leverage for those looking to amplify their bets.

Think of it as buying Bitcoin or Ethereum, but without needing to worry about wallets or decentralized exchanges.

Tech & Crypto ETFs (like , , , ): These funds mix crypto exposure with other cutting-edge tech stocks, offering a broader play on the future of this technology

2/ Coinbase

Investing in Coinbase gives you a stake in the broader crypto ecosystem.
Coinbase isn’t just a trading platform it’s a gateway to stablecoins, the Base blockchain, and a big chunk of crypto market activity Plus, they’re even an ETF custodian!

And Coinbase’s stock has been COOKING:

3/ Fintech giants

Companies like Robinhood, PayPal, Block, Mercado Libre, and Nubank are embracing crypto tech in a big way. Investing in these fintech giants means you’re betting on the growth of crypto adoption within our existing financial system

The nice thing about investing in the fintech giants is it's a more diversified bet. If something happens to crypto, these fintech companies still have an underlying business with millions of users and real revenues. While they may drive crypto adoption and give you exposure to it, they don’t NEED crypto to still be a good investment.

4/ MicroStrategy and MetaPlanet

These two public companies are heading up the “Bitcoin on the balance sheet” charge

MicroStrategy is like the ultimate Bitcoin bull and holds billions in and Metaplanet is a Japanese blockchain consulting firm that has adopted a similar strategy.Buying is similar to leveraged BTC. When goes up, goes up higher, same for the other direction though so be careful

5/ Bitcoin mining companies

Want to bet on the infrastructure behind Bitcoin?
Bitcoin mining companies (like , , and ) are the backbone of the network.
By investing in these companies, you’re betting on a combination of the performance of the mining company and the price of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin mining companies can also find additional revenue streams, like providing compute for Artificial Intelligence or heating homes. Similar to the Fintech giants, Bitcoin miners provide another diversified way to invest in crypto.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to get your slice of the crypto pie without ever buying a single token Sure, some options come with a bit more spice yet betting on companies means you’re not just riding the or wave, you’re also banking on those companies’ success.

But depending on your situation, this might be the perfect way to dip your toes in the crypto waters or even beef up your portfolio.
