Unlocking the Power of Cryptocurrency Investing: Staking and ETF Diversification Explained

The ever-changing world of cryptocurrency can be overwhelming for many, with new terms and concepts being introduced regularly. Recently, the term “staking” has been gaining popularity in the world of cryptocurrency. Staking involves lending a specified amount of your cryptocurrency holdings, like etherum, to the network for validating transactions. In return, you receive dividends in the form of currency you invested. Wealthsimple is one platform where you can stake your etherum at a promo rate of 4.5%. It is important to note that staked etherum can now be unstaked at any time due to the recent Ethereum Network Update.

When it comes to investing in ETFs, diversification is key. A portfolio that holds a mix of Canadian, US and international stocks, rebalanced annually, delivers better returns with less volatility than investing in only one stock. Canadian asset allocation ETFs are a great way to diversify your portfolio based on your goals, timeline, knowledge, experience, and anticipated tolerance for volatility. It is also a good idea to follow the PFC money steps and ensure you have reached Step 5 before investing in ETFs.

When it comes to investing, the most important thing is time in the market. Historically speaking, lump-sum investing is better than DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) more often than not. Statistically speaking, DCA is better only when your lump-sum investment was right before a crash. However, no one has a crystal ball of when the market will drop significantly. It is important to stay invested and continue investing regardless of market fluctuations. It is widely accepted amongst all investors that trying to time the market is difficult, and most often unsuccessful.

In conclusion, it is important to stay invested in the long term and diversify your portfolio. Staking is a great opportunity if you hold etherum, and Canadian asset allocation ETFs are an excellent way to diversify your investments. Avoid trying to time the market and focus on long-term returns. Investing can be unpredictable, so it is important to stay informed, stay calm, and stay focused on your long-term goals.
