With over 25,000 cryptocurrencies currently available to trade, it can be overwhelming, to say the least. You might be familiar with some of these questions that run through your head:
- Is that coin a scam?
- What’s the difference between this coin and any other?
Proper research can provide clarity to these concerns.
Important to Remember
Investing begins with education, not buying. Invest your time in understanding a project before you invest your money.
Cryptocurrency fundamental analysis can help to try determine the value of a digital asset based on foundational factors, helping indicate if it’s overvalued, undervalued, or aptly priced.
It’s important to understand that assessing cryptocurrencies differs from assessing traditional companies or stocks.
While conducting a fundamental analysis assessment is helpful in attempting to gain insight into the value of an asset, it can get complicated. It is important to make a fact-based analysis. There are some risks when conducting fundamental analysis, including incorrectly published data or if something is misinterpreted or based on false assumptions.
We’ll soon explore tools and checklists to assist you in evaluating a coin’s value. Instead of succumbing to FOMO (fear of missing out), take a pause to research.
Why does it matter?
Many people choose to skip the learning phase of investing and instead choose to follow the crowd and hope for the best.
Crypto trends often spread rapidly. By the time you hear of an opportunity, it might be late or just a passing fad. So how do you catch opportunities early before the masses get in?
Enter fundamental analysis.
The importance of having a process
Having a well-defined process for fundamental analysis is essential for crypto investments due to the unique characteristics and complexities of the market.
We offer a downloadable checklist that outlines some of the factors that you could consider when performing fundamental analysis. Please note that this does not cover all aspects to be considered to perform a fundamental analysis.
