Several investors have made breakthroughs in giving Christmas and New Year gifts by giving crypto. However, it turns out that this digital asset gift has existed since 2017, initiated by Andy L who gave Bitcoin.
However, crypto gifts do not always yield profits. In fact, as of Christmas 2024, it turned out to provide disappointing results up to today because the crypto prices had been at a high level in December 2024 and then dropped in 2025.
An investment gift of US$100 at Christmas 2024 is equivalent to 0.0010 BTC Bitcoin, 292.94 DOGE Dogecoin, and 0.02823 ETH Ethereum, which are now each worth US$87.77 (down 12.2%), US$37.70 (down 16.9%), and US$83.13 (down 62.3%).
This makes the total prize of US$300 in those three cryptos now worth only US$208.60, down 30.5%. On the other hand, if US$300 in gold had been given as a gift last Christmas, it would be worth US$516.47 today, as that asset reached its all-time high in Q4.
Nevertheless, historically, previous crypto gifts have been very profitable, as US$300 from Christmas 2023 to Christmas 2024 grows to US$725.32 (up 141.8%) and from Christmas 2022 to Christmas 2023 to $559.61 (up 86.5%).
