Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate crypto wallet?
Not necessarily. Many clients use spot ETFs or custodial accounts. AlfredoCRN will recommend the most suitable route for your goals and jurisdiction.
How volatile is the crypto market?
Very. Double-digit daily swings can occur. We counter this with measured position sizing, diversification, and multi-stage entries.
What about taxes on digital assets?
Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and activity (trading, staking, airdrops). AlfredoCRN coordinates with your tax advisor to implement compliant, tax-aware structures.
Can I lose my assets if I lose my keys?
Direct custody requires secure key management. We typically recommend qualified custodians with institutional key controls to reduce this risk.
How much should I allocate to crypto?
Allocations depend on goals and risk tolerance. AlfredoCRN generally recommends a measured sleeve within a diversified plan.
