3 Things to Do After the BlackRock BTC Spot ETF Gets Approved

The SEC is heating up its quest against crypto. They keep filing lawsuits, seemingly on the go. However, some of these lawsuits already backfired. We saw XRP and Grayscale with wins over the SEC in US courts. This effectively heightens the chance for BTC to spot ETF approvals. 

So, what can you do with your Bitcoin when its price goes up due to the acceptance of the BTC spot ETF?

1) Research and Due Diligence

Whether it’s for your Bitcoin or any of your altcoins, you should always do research and due diligence. So, let’s take a closer look at these two features. When you do research, there are a variety of factors to look for. You can make your life easier, by using specific research tools. For example,

  • Market trackers – CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap are good samples. They show real-time price updates, data on trading volume, market caps, and much more. 
  • Data aggregators – For example, TradingView or Glassnode. They offer in-depth analysis. 
  • Podcasts – Learn from experts.
  • Forums – For instance, Reddit or Discord. Find answers to any questions you may have about a project.
  • New websites – Like Altcoin Buzz. They help you understand complex matters.

On the other hand, due diligence is almost like fundamental research in a project. Your goal is to confirm facts about a project. This can be, for instance:

  • Purpose and use cases – What problem does the project solve and is there a market for it?
  • Team information – Who is in the team and what are their credentials?
  • Competition – Can it hold up against its competitors?
  • Community – Does the project have an active and enthusiastic community?
  • Funding – How is the project funded and does it have a good financial track record?

2) Diversification 

Diversification is important for your portfolio. You would rather not have all your eggs in one basket. Bitcoin is a good choice and deserves a spot in each portfolio. However, having said that there are plenty of good altcoin projects out there.

In the top 10 or 20 by market cap, you can find solid projects with low risk. Although, there’s no guarantee that these projects can’t collapse. Remember how fast LUNA went down to almost zero? If you go further down this list, to #100, you find low to medium-risk projects. The higher the number by market cap is, after #100, the higher your risk becomes. However, the rewards can also be higher compared to lower-risk projects.

Your asset allocation is also of importance. Diversification is important for your portfolio. You would rather not have all your eggs in one basket. Bitcoin is a good choice and deserves a spot in each portfolio. However, having said that, there are plenty of other good altcoin projects out there.

3) Asset Allocation

Your asset allocation is also of importance. You want to get the most out of your returns. Meanwhile, you want to have the lowest risk exposure. In other words, make sure your cryptos differ from each other. You also want to look at some larger cap coins. They have a lower risk. On the other hand, low-cap coins can give high returns but may have a higher risk. A well-balanced portfolio can look like this:

  • 60% large-cap.
  • 20% mid-cap.
  • 10% small-cap.
  • 5% stablecoins.
  • 5% NFTs.

4) Stay Informed and Monitor Performance

Staying informed about the latest crypto news is also important. There are many outlets that cater to this. X (former Twitter) is one of them. Crypto Twitter is a useful source of information. For example, each crypto project has its own account. YouTube, Discord, and Reddit are other good news sources. Furthermore, you can go to the project’s websites and follow their social media. 

There are also sites available, that allow you to monitor performance. For example, DeFiLlama follows TVL in DeFi. DappRadar is a great source to follow NFT performances. The following picture shows the top NFT collections on DappRadar.
