Since the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the crypto market has experienced an eventful period. After a short-term drop at the end of March, a gradual recovery began in April: institutional players returned to the game, Bitcoin was once again approaching its historical highs, and altcoins moved from rapid ups to prolonged downs.

Volatility became a normal part of this period. And it was at this moment of turbulence that I became interested in testing a strategy that does not react to market noise but follows a clear plan — auto-investing. Why this approach? I wanted to check how “passive” crypto investing can work — without constantly hovering in charts, or impulsive decisions dictated by fear or greed. It’s simple: an algorithm, a fixed amount, and regular timing.

Auto-Invest is an automated investment strategy that allows you to buy cryptocurrencies on a pre-set schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly. The idea is simple: you choose crypto assets, determine the amount and frequency of purchases, and the system executes transactions without your participation.

The main advantage lies in automation, as the crypto market is very volatile and emotions often take over. Therefore, Auto-Invest helps to maintain discipline — to invest systematically, without panic and fear of missing a profitable moment. In other words, Auto-Invest is a cryptocurrency analog of the Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy, which helps to “average” market entry. Thanks to this, you reduce the risk of buying an asset at its highest point, not at its peak.

Due to its simplicity and convenience, this strategy is rapidly gaining popularity, especially among those who are just starting out in crypto and want to invest money regularly without spending time on constant market analysis.

For example, WhiteBIT’s Auto-Invest offers several important advantages:

• A wide range of assets: Auto-Invest supports dozens of cryptos, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), and other popular altcoins.

• Flexible settings: automatic purchases can be customized both when converting fiat currency to crypto and when exchanging between digital assets.

• No minimum amount: any amount can be invested, creating your own portfolio without restrictions.

• Advanced options: the ability to set price limits and determine the number of purchases in accordance with your investment plans.

• Fully automated investments: no need to constantly monitor the market or make purchases manually, the platform will do everything for you.

• Dollar-cost averaging (DCA): regular investments in fixed amounts help reduce the impact of volatility and smooth out market fluctuations.

To check how the Auto-Invest strategy works in practice, I decided to conduct my own experiment. To do this, I chose 10 crypto assets based on reputable sources such as CoinGecko and CoinDesk. I chose coins with a large capitalization, active media presence, and good growth prospects. As a result, the list includes BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, WBT, XRP, BNB, SUI, HYPE, and TRX.

The total budget of the experiment was $10,000, which I distributed equally among all ten assets. Every week for three months — from April 1 to July 1, 2025 — $83 was automatically invested in each asset. Thus, each coin had 12 regular investments.

To implement this strategy, I used the Auto-Invest feature on the WhiteBIT. After the initial setup, I did not intervene manually — all purchases were made automatically according to the set schedule.

According to the results of the experiment, the newcomer to the portfolio, $HYPE, brought the largest profit. Its yield was a record: +201.52%, which brought me more than $2,015.22 in net profit. The second place was taken by $WBT with a result of +55.32% ($553.2 in profit), and the “classic of the genre” $ETH closes the top three with +35.06%, or $350.6.

The worst performer was $ADA. Despite its large capitalization and popularity in previous years, the asset sank by -14.98% and became the only one in the portfolio that was at a loss.

In general, most coins showed positive dynamics, which once again confirms that diversification is the key to success. After all, sometimes it is the coins that are just gaining momentum that can outperform even the most famous market players.

My three months of experimenting with Auto-Invest have confirmed that systematic, automated investing is an effective way to join the crypto market without unnecessary stress and emotional mistakes. Even without constant monitoring, you can get a good result, especially thanks to diversification. Although not all assets showed growth, the overall trend was positive. Thus, Auto-Invest is a simple, convenient, and affordable tool for those who want to invest in crypto on autopilot and maintain discipline in a volatile market.
