I think the major difference is that such investments are usually in substantial assets.

Something that definitely can't be said of some of those fantasy funny coins.

In theory maybe, in practice I don't find speculation on financial products any more substantial, like stocks where they are not owned with aims regarding dividends or the governance of the company (which is the point of a stock) but only to be unloaded on someone in the future at a higher price. The nature of the token doesn't matter in that case only the sentiments of other traders.
