Ahmedabad: All over the world, including India, people are tempted to find new means of investment and means of quick earning. The prevalence of cryptocurrencies in the market to shake up the global financial world has been steadily increasing over the past decade.

The trend is now changing even in a country like India where investors pour money into traditional investment mediums. Earlier, after gold-silver-jewellery, the realty sector and bank fixed deposits and cash on hand, considered the safest, are changing the trend. As people's living standards rise, the demand for money and craze for earning increases, people are flocking to risky and shortcut roads, the equity market and now the crypto market.

Since the corona epidemic, the trend of investing in the equity market has increased across India, and along with this, more risk-averse players are entering the crypto market. According to data from a report by crypto currency platform CoinSwitch, the total number of crypto investors in the country has crossed 1.9 crore. An interesting figure is that almost 9 percent of the total crypto investors are women.

The report said that 75 percent of people investing in cryptocurrencies in the country come from the youth segment and are between the ages of 18 and 35 years. This shows that the youth has an enero craze in crypto, which may turn out to be brutal in the future.

Apart from this, metros like Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai, which are the financial hubs of the country, account for a fifth of the total value of crypto investments. Delhi tops the country in crypto investment in terms of value.

According to the report, Dogecoin was the most popular cryptocoin of 2023. It accounts for 11 percent of total crypto investments. This was followed by Bitcoin (8.5 percent) and Ethereum (6.4 percent). Dogecoin cryptocurrency was associated with Elon Musk as he indirectly backed this coin many times.
