Cryptocurrency

The market cap of cryptocurrency has blown up to 2 trillion in 2021 from 1.5 billion in 2013. This means that more and more people are trading in this type of digital investment. It has become one of the tech trends that most investors are taking advantage of with the popular digital coin called Bitcoin. Your assets can then be counted in USD, GBP, EUR, or Bitcoin. Still, there are many “coins” or “cryptos” available to buy and sell. 


Trading in crypto works by buying and selling digital coins on available online marketplaces that are in the form of websites or mobile applications. For example, Coinbase. It offers excellent access to the potential growth of assets and transparency. However, like any other investment platform, the crypto market is also subjected to fluctuations.

NFTs


In the last quarter, it is reported that the trading volume of NFTs rose to $10.7 billion, with a 704% increase compared to the previous quarter. In this matter, the popularity of this digital investment is growing.

Usually, the NFT assets are ideal for artists who wish to find a new way of making money out of their works. There is also a potential for their works to increase their value over time to get more profit. However, since NFTs are still new in the industry and in the developing stage, investing here is also risky. So, it's essential to research and take time to understand how it really works. You can find information about NFTs through the Tech Ed or Women in Tech virtual workshops.
