In a recent article, Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, suggested a strategy known as the 60/30/10 approach for investors to allocate their portfolios. This strategy involves investing 60% of total assets in Bitcoin ETPs (Exchange-Traded Products), 30% in Ethereum ETPs, and the remaining 10% in crypto stock ETPs. Hougan chose this weighting distribution because the 60-30-10 ratio generally reflects the market capitalization of each asset. By adopting this method, investors can customize their risk exposure according to their individual preferences for different market risks by increasing or decreasing their weight in specific sub-sectors. In particular, Hougan provided several suggestions on how to apply this strategy. Firstly, for investors concerned about portfolio hedging against inflation or global currency depreciation, increasing the allocation to Bitcoin is a prudent choice. Bitcoin, currently primarily used as a store of value and emerging currency asset, can help mitigate potential inflationary pressures when facing such economic environments. Secondly, for investors focused on areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenization applications, increasing the allocation to Ethereum may be more appropriate. As a platform supporting complex applications like DeFi and tokenization through smart contracts, Ethereum's future prospects are highly regarded by many investors. Investing in Ethereum could provide opportunities to benefit from the potential growth in these applications. Lastly, for investors who have observed that cryptocurrency companies have lagged behind the performance of cryptocurrencies over the past year, considering an increased allocation to ETPs related to cryptocurrency companies might be attractive. After appropriate adjustments, these companies' valuations appear more appealing, offering investors potential for appreciation. In conclusion, Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer's proposed 60/30/10 investment portfolio allocation strategy provides investors with a flexible and targeted approach to balance investments between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and crypto stock ETPs, thereby customizing investment strategies according to their own risk preferences and market expectations.
