5 Ways to Invest in Blockchain in Dubai

by Zaara 07, May 2020

Blockchain technology is one of the hottest developments in the finance world, with the potential to completely transform conventional business models in several sectors. Blockchain works equally to a massive digital spreadsheet, which is shared by all the members of a decentralised network. While the blockchain technology is most frequently associated with confirming Bitcoin payments, it can also be used in numerous ways.

The technology’s ever-growing reach has curved blockchain investing in a relatively easy task. Here are the five best ways to jump in and invest in blockchain technology today.

1.Become a Digital Asset Investor

The most widespread way to invest in the blockchain technology is by becoming a digital asset investor. As a digital asset investor, you must invest in assets that reside on a blockchain. If you think about these types of assets, you will probably be familiar with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin Ethereum, and Ripple. Investing in this type of cryptocurrencies is relatively simple. You can set up an account on a cryptocurrency exchange, like Coinbase or Gemini. After which, you can use the platform to buy your desired crypto.

2.Invest in Blockchain Companies

Investing in blockchain technology doesn’t mean you are limited to purchasing tokens. You can also make conventional investments in firms that specialise in blockchain products and services. Unfortunately, your choices for public blockchain investments are rather scant. Most blockchain-focused firms aren’t large enough yet to warrant a public listing. More practical ways to invest in blockchain businesses involve angel investing and crowdfunding.

3.Invest in Companies Implementing Blockchain

If you are relatively risk-averse, investing in the organisations that do not specialise in blockchain but still execute the technology could be a good option. Because the companies don’t live or die on the success of blockchain technology, they provide much safer investment options. Astoundingly there are already many, publicly-traded companies that have added blockchain technology to their business ecosystem.

4.Invest Time in Learning Blockchain Development

The thing about blockchain as know-how is it’s a paradigm shift. It has the prospective to change the way we pass information much like the Internet-connected computers and then mobile put computers on our person 24/7. Those are heady concepts, and blockchain adds the potential of transfer of something of value between two computers on two persons efficiently and securely.

Do the needed research, invest the time in learning the technology and then find a big problem and solve it.

5.Invest in Coins and Tokens

Even though cryptocurrency is not blockchain, it is the most direct way to invest in the application of technology. It’s also the riskiest of risky options. With tokens and coins, you’re also betting that they’re not just fastening their car to a runaway train, their ethics are in check, that there is no pump-and-dump or Ponzi scheme either deliberately or accidentally happening, and that they’re not going to get tricked, hacked,  blackmailed, or subpoenaed.

As with all financial investments, one of the great ways to invest in blockchain technology is to spread your holdings. But you shouldn’t limit your diversification to blockchain investments; invest across various industries as well.

Doing so guarantees that an erratic market change doesn’t run you dry. Because blockchain technology is still an emerging and volatile industry, you need to protect yourself from risk as much as you can.
