A recent study analyzed TikTok videos with the hashtag “crypto” to identify the most recommended cryptocurrencies for investment. XRP Network (XPR) emerged as the most frequently mentioned cryptocurrency, with 28% of the videos recommending it. Bitcoin and Polygon also ranked high as recommended options. Notably, Shiba Inu (SHIB) was the only meme coin in the top 10 recommendations. The study focused on videos published since September 2023 and aimed to understand the preferences of cryptocurrency investors on TikTok. It also highlighted that TikTok is a platform where users seek advice on investment opportunities. Cryptocurrency influencers on TikTok have expressed optimistic predictions for 2024, citing factors such as the upcoming Bitcoin halving in April 2024. However, it is important to conduct further research before making any financial investments and to only invest what you can afford to lose due to the volatility and risks associated with cryptocurrencies.
The study also revealed that Polygon (Matic) ranked as the third most recommended cryptocurrency on TikTok, followed by Ethereum (ETH). Shiba Inu (SHIB) was again mentioned as a popular choice among TikTok influencers. The study noted that many influencers recommended cryptocurrencies related to artificial intelligence and gaming, although none of these made it into the top ten recommendations. An expert from CoinLedger predicts an exciting year ahead for cryptocurrency investors, with the potential for a Bitcoin halving triggering a bullish run and increasing the value of cryptocurrencies. However, it is essential to be cautious and conduct thorough research before investing, as some influencers may have personal financial motivations or engage in scams. Ultimately, it is crucial to invest only what you can afford to lose considering the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies.
