Key Takeaways
- There are currently 3 main ways retail investors are gaining exposure to crypto: buying crypto directly, buying crypto ETPs or crypto--related ETFs, or buying crypto stocks.
- Note that the crypto industry may be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities, and direct holders of crypto do not benefit from the same regulatory protections applicable to registered securities. Also note that the future regulatory environment for crypto is uncertain.
- Those who buy crypto directly should note that crypto is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Only buy crypto with an amount you're willing to risk losing.
Buying Crypto-Related Stocks
Allows investors to bet on which companies will lead the industry.
