Comparative Analysis of Investment Opportunities in Stock Market and Cryptocurrency

Abstract

This research paper explores the comparative investment potential of traditional stock markets and the emerging cryptocurrency sector. The growing interest in cryptocurrencies has sparked debate regarding their role in a modern investment portfolio. With the rise of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, investors are keen to understand how these compare with established investment vehicles like equities. This paper aims to bridge that gap by examining historical performance, risk-return profiles, market behavior, regulatory differences, and investor sentiment. The objective is to provide a balanced view of both asset classes, helping investors and financial analysts make more informed decisions about their capital allocation strategies.
