en Hamburg, 4 August 2025 - Successful investing in digital assets today requires more than just holding Bitcoin. The key lies in smart diversification across cryptocurrencies, blockchain-based technologies, and regulated investment vehicles. The fast-moving nature of the crypto market shows that long-term success depends on more than focusing on a single asset. A strategically composed mix of digital currencies, DeFi tokens, and blockchain-based projects — each with different technologies and use cases — is essential.
Bitcoin remains a foundational asset, reaching record highs of around $120,000 and widely seen as “digital gold” due to its liquidity and growing institutional acceptance. “But relying solely on Bitcoin falls short,” says Moritz Schildt, CEO of coinIX. “Ethereum has emerged as the second core pillar — serving as a smart contract platform, innovation driver, and basis for a broad range of applications, including tokenization and decentralized finance. The recent approval of Ethereum ETFs and ongoing tech upgrades have further enhanced its appeal to professional investors.”
coinIX identifies and invests in promising opportunities across the crypto and blockchain landscape. Through its regulated investment vehicle, the coinIX COINVEST SCI1 Fund (WKN: A2LQ1G / ISIN: DE000A2LQ1G5), investors can gain exposure to a diversified and actively managed portfolio of digital assets. Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, specialized altcoins like Solana, Cardano, and Polygon are gaining traction. These projects address key issues such as scalability, energy efficiency, and real-world application — particularly in decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). DeFi protocols like Chainlink, Uniswap, and Aave are transforming traditional financial services by enabling lending, trading, and liquidity provision without intermediaries.
“Ethereum, in particular, has laid the groundwork for a decentralized financial system and remains one of the most innovative platforms for digital applications,”Schildt adds. “As a firm, we are fully committed to the Ethereum ecosystem because we believe it will play a central role in the future digital infrastructure.” Another key driver of market growth is institutional demand. Recent studies show that 86% of institutional investors are already engaged or planning to invest in crypto assets. Over 60% prefer regulated vehicles such as ETFs or ETPs to manage their exposure.“Balanced portfolios — combining Bitcoin, Ethereum, selected altcoins, and DeFi tokens — tend to generate better risk-adjusted returns than single-asset strategies,”notes Schildt. Stablecoins, as digital equivalents of traditional currencies, add liquidity and flexibility, supporting cash management and enabling more agile responses in volatile markets.
Meanwhile, regulatory clarity is on the rise. The EU’s MiCA framework is setting legal standards and boosting institutional confidence in digital assets. “This regulatory progress enables investors to integrate crypto assets into their portfolios more securely and to benefit from blockchain innovation,” Schildt concludes. “Smart diversification is the future of crypto investing. Those who combine established cryptocurrencies, emerging blockchain technologies, and regulated investment structures are well-positioned to capture opportunity, manage risk, and achieve sustainable returns.”
