Portfolio Risk

Definition

Portfolio risk represents the potential for financial loss or volatility within an entire collection of investments. In digital asset markets, this refers to the aggregate risk associated with holding multiple cryptocurrencies, tokens, and other digital instruments. It accounts for various factors, including individual asset price fluctuations, correlation between assets, liquidity constraints, and exposure to specific market sectors or protocol vulnerabilities. Effective portfolio management involves assessing and mitigating these risks through diversification and strategic allocation.
