With the “democratizing finance for all” movement taking hold, not only in America but all across the world, investing is no longer for the elite and the old, retirement-planners.
Investing, especially in the capital markets, has become a much more frequent and popular activity for unsophisticated people, even amongst teenagers and young professionals. It has become cool and trendy amongst the gen-z crowd, especially as cryptocurrencies and digital assets become more and more mainstream. And with brokerages creating easy-to-operate digital platforms that make investing fun and easy — and as some people refer to it as, gamifying personal investing — the personal investing industry, and by effect the e-brokers and digital capital markets industry, are only going to continue to grow.
With the launch of the BlueStar US Listed E-Brokers and Digital Capital Markets Index (ticker: BUBID) last week, these trends can now be tracked. BUBID is an index that tracks the performance of the largest online securities brokerages, lenders, market-makers, and digital asset capital market firms in the US. The index, which is up 80.43% over the last year as of Friday, November 12, is currently being led by electric brokerage houses that allow for cryptocurrency investing and trading. With digital assets continuing to grow, these companies will only continue to see growth.
