A portfolio refers to the collection of assets held by an individual, company, or institution. The cryptocurrency portfolio of an investor normally contains various digital assets which include Bitcoin, altcoins and stablecoins and sometimes tokenized assets or NFTs. The main function of a portfolio is to help investors arrange their financial assets while they control their levels of asset exposure and risk management.

Other investors create diversified portfolios which combine major assets and smaller assets to achieve better investment results despite taking on more investment danger. Investors use stablecoins to decrease market fluctuations or to maintain funds that they need for upcoming trading activities.

The management of a crypto portfolio requires three essential tasks which include monitoring performance and learning about asset distribution and making changes to asset holdings as required.
