Cover Story: This study addresses market concentration and diversification strategies using relative entropy. It introduces entropic value at risk (EVaR) and relativistic value at risk (RLVaR) and evaluates entropy-based criteria in portfolio selection of both classic and crypto assets. The key finding indicates that entropy measures effectively identify optimal portfolios, particularly in scenarios of heightened risk and increased concentration, crucial for mitigating negative net performances during low returns or high turnover. Due to its unfavourable risk profile, Bitcoin does not offer sufficient hedging and may increase the risk of short-term losses. View this paper
