Cryptocurrency's Role in Optimal Portfolios with von Neumann-Morgenstern Utility Theory

Should cryptocurrencies populate modern portfolios, and to what degree? How can von Neumann-Morgenstern utility theory determine which portfolio is best? For this thesis, we take six cryptocurrencies and six stocks to create optimal portfolios from each and a combination of both. Then we compare the expected utility from each portfolio, with and without short selling, to a benchmark. As concluded from our data, cryptocurrencies should be a part of a modern portfolio to increase the Sharpe ratio and expected utility even if they do not take a majority proportion.
