Founder Leore Avidar explained to the community that there hasn’t been a lot of infrastructure in this space.“We want to make it as easy to invest in sports cards and other alts as it is with stocks.On Alt, you can track the current market value of your assets with our proprietary Alt Value, buy and sell pre-authenticated cards on our exchange, and securely store your collection in our custody solution, Vault.”He also made comparisons of Alt to Coinbase for bringing structure to buying and selling cryptocurrency. Others have compared Alt to Robinhood for making stock trading more accessible. Alt's transaction fees are 1.5% — a key part of the company's strategy since auction houses often start at 12.5%.Alt plans to expand to other alternative investments eventually (watches, etc.), based on what its customers want next.For those looking to diversify your portfolio with alternative assets, Alt can be a great place to start.
