**New trend in crypto investment: Dollar cost averaging becomes mainstream strategy**

BlockBeats news, October 9th - For the vast majority of cryptocurrency investors, dollar cost averaging (DCA) seems to have become a must-have investment strategy. According to a recent survey by the US cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, 83% of cryptocurrency investors have used dollar cost averaging to buy cryptocurrencies in the past, and 59% of respondents said it was their primary investment strategy.

**What is dollar cost averaging? **

Dollar cost averaging, or DCA for short, is an investment strategy that requires asset exposure to be gained through multiple purchases over a period of time, rather than buying all assets at once. The benefit of doing so is that it can smooth market fluctuations and avoid investing a large amount of money at a time at market highs, thereby reducing investment risks.

**Why do investors favor DCA? **

The survey shows that 46% of respondents believe that DCA helps them hedge against market fluctuations. This means that even if there are short-term fluctuations in the market, investors can still get relatively stable returns in the long run. 24% of respondents said that the strategy encouraged them to develop consistent investment habits, investing regularly instead of buying and selling randomly, thus avoiding the influence of market sentiment on decision-making. Another 12% of respondents believed that DCA eliminated emotional factors in the decision-making process, allowing them to invest more rationally.

**Advantages and Challenges of DCA**

While DCA helps smooth market fluctuations and reduce emotional decisions, it is not perfect. For investors who want high returns in the short term, DCA may appear too conservative. In addition, DCA requires investors to have a certain degree of patience and discipline to see results in the long run.
