Diversifying the crypto portfolio in search of the “new bitcoin” is tempting, but the past has shown the high risk involved. The experts consulted, without ignoring the greater “security” that both bitcoin and ethereum offer, reveal a series of alternative cryptocurrencies that, due to the boom in their use or their innovative nature, could surprise favourably in 2024.
It seems that the cryptowinter is behind us. 2023 is the year of the crypto market’s recovery, as evidenced by bitcoin’s 127% rally and ethereum’s 70% revaluation. This context is fuelling hopes of even more remarkable revaluations among lesser-known and smaller cryptocurrencies.
One factor to bear in mind is that, while the crypto market has much higher levels of volatility than “traditional” markets, the volatility of both upside and downside volatility is higher for smaller-cap tokens.
Experts advise investors to proceed with extreme caution if they decide to position themselves in alternative cryptocurrencies or altcoins, as looking for digital currencies with high upside potential involves taking a high degree of risk.
Without neglecting calls for prudence, all experts agree on diversifying the investment portfolio.
