Cryptocurrencies are a relatively new asset class. As we saw in Module 4, they’re not impacted by the same factors that affect other asset classes (interest rates, the yield curve, exchange rates).

This means that a portfolio that has cryptocurrencies is more diversified than one that does not have cryptocurrencies.
