Due to their potential for large returns, alternative assets such cryptocurrency, commodities, art, and real estate have become more and more popular among investors in recent years. Alternative asset investing, however, has different risks. Certain alternative asset markets may be difficult to evaluate for their genuine value and potential risks due to a lack of regulation and transparency. These assets might also be difficult to handle as they are illiquid, which means they can't be quickly sold for cash. Alternative assets can be extremely volatile and subject to unexpected changes in market conditions, making them riskier investments for people who are unwilling to endure sizable swings in the value of their investments.
