In the Crypto Assets market, selecting high-quality coins suitable for long-term holding is a challenge. This article will provide you with five key considerations to help you make informed investment decisions.



1. Track Outlook: Focus on promising areas in the next 3-5 years. Key considerations include Bitcoin (as a digital asset storage), Ethereum (smart contract platform), Layer 2 solutions (such as Optimism, Arbitrum), and leading projects in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Exercise caution towards projects lacking practical applications or purely speculative tokens.

2. Market Capitalization: Choose projects with a certain scale. It is recommended to pay attention to the top 50 ranked crypto assets, as they usually have stronger resilience against downturns. For projects in emerging fields, it can be appropriately relaxed to the top 100. For example, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot are all options worth considering.

3. Team Background: Transparency is key. Research the project's official website to ensure that core team members have relevant experience in the blockchain or technology industry. For example, the Solana team includes members from Coinbase. Avoid projects with unclear team information or lacking public contact details.

4. Deflationary Mechanism: Look for projects with token supply control mechanisms. Prioritize Crypto Assets that implement a "burn mechanism" to control supply, such as Ethereum's burning through transaction fees, while Bitcoin limits new coin issuance through periodic halving. Be cautious of tokens with an annual inflation rate exceeding 10%, as high inflation may lead to a decrease in value.

5. Ecosystem Activity: Assess the actual usage of the project. Use tools like DappRadar to analyze and look for projects with daily active users exceeding 10,000 and more than 50 decentralized applications (DApps). Ethereum is a typical example, with daily active users exceeding 500,000 and more than 3,000 DApps in its ecosystem.

Investment Advice:
- Allocate the majority of the portfolio (about 60%) to mainstream Crypto Assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to reduce risk.
- The remaining funds can be invested in 2-3 small-cap but promising projects for moderate trial and error.
- Avoid putting all funds into a single Crypto Asset.
- Maintain an investment cycle of at least one year to weather market fluctuations.

Remember, the Crypto Assets market carries high risks, and it is essential to conduct thorough research and risk assessment before investing. A diversified investment strategy and patient holding are often key to achieving long-term gains.
