There is still time to get in on the ground floor of the blockchain phenomenon. Many of the leading securities in the space are still trading in penny stock territory. We’re already buying houses, funding charities and reducing crime with blockchain tech, but the concept has yet to break into the mainstream. A technology that has proven its utility but still has plenty of room to be implemented is usually a great candidate for growth. This leads us to this article: the best blockchain penny stocks for your investment portfolio.

If you want to make quick profits in this market, those opportunities are available as well. We’ll review some of the best bets in blockchain to help inform your next trading decision.

Quick Look at the Best Blockchain Penny Stocks:

Overview: Blockchain Penny Stocks

Blockchain technology, the use of digital time stamps for ordering transactions, has been around since 1991. Researchers W. Scott Stornetta and Stuart Haber were looking for a way to create better document timestamps, but blockchain first produced a widespread real world utility as the underlying framework for Bitcoin in 2009. Not too long later, as an objectively better way to record transactions and prevent fraud, the concept of the blockchain is already a part of many mainstream companies behind the scenes.

Identifying when the first blockchain stock appeared is difficult. As Bitcoin began to expand, many small tech companies already on exchanges simply slid over into researching and producing blockchain technology. It is also true that many penny stocks who claim blockchain are using the lexicon strictly for marketing purposes. Speculative tech is a relatively unregulated business space that many government regulators don’t even have the training to understand.

The first well-publicized blockchain stock offering was conducted by Overstock (NASDAQ: OSTK) in 2016. The first blockchain ETFs showed up in the U.S. in early 2018 following the Q4 2017 Bitcoin mania (1 BTC ≈ $20,000). Since 2018, the crypto securities market continues to expand as crypto’s market cap consolidates between a range of $150 billion and $330 billion.

Today, blockchain stocks tend to rise and fall in tandem with the volatility in Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. Some experts have guessed that the connection is because low-information casual investors are making their way into the market. Others think that “blockchain” is being used more like a marketing catch-all to attract new investors. 

The overlap of these theories may be the most interesting point: They both benefit from nontechnical investors who may not be interested in blockchain as anything more than a framework for a method of currency exchange. They are less interested in anonymity or security, and they may not need to know that companies like IBM, Oracle and Amazon are already using blockchain in their digital transformations. Smart investors, however, follow the implementation of the technology in companies large and small. Blockchain has implications for how businesses will conduct daily commerce in the next few years.

Finding a Needle in a Haystack

There can be a lot of untapped value in low-priced stocks, especially those with innovations in an industry that is on the verge of mainstream use. Be sure to do your due diligence, however. Smart money is betting on the blockchain as a long-term play, but you can get chopped up in short-term volatility if you are not careful.
