Crypto vs. Traditional Asset Allocation: Why It Can Get Dangerous Fast
TL;DR
Quick Summary
- Crypto price swings (volatility) can be far more extreme than stocks and bonds.
- Diversification can fail when markets panic—crypto can drop alongside other “risk-on” assets.
- Crypto adds extra non-market risks: custody errors, exchange failures, hacks, and smart contract bugs.
- High “yield” in crypto can mask leverage or incentives that vanish when prices fall.
- The real risk is position sizing: a small allocation feels different than a portfolio anchor.
