The Benefits of Diversification in Unstable Market Conditions

Both stocks and crypto markets have experienced a sudden sharp decline in August following a broad rally that lost momentum in July. This downturn seems to stem from weaker-than-expected economic fundamentals—particularly the July US jobs report—and negative technical factors.

Given that market valuations were trading above our composite fair value estimate, this selloff is not entirely unexpected. While such declines can be significant, they are not uncommon and should not incite panic.

However, if a sudden drop of 20% or more feels challenging to endure, it might be time to consider diversification.

Why it matters:

Diversification is a smart investment strategy that involves spreading your investments across different asset types to balance risk and reward. A well-diversified portfolio aims to increase returns while reducing unnecessary risks, thereby improving your overall performance.

The Big Picture:

Numerous investors assume their portfolios are well-diversified, but this is often not the case. Diversification is akin to not putting all your eggs in one basket. With market fluctuations like those witnessed in the past 48 hours, products like the TradeTogether Bitcoin Advantage Fund can significantly limit downside risk (no more than a 5% drop in your portfolio with a low-risk strategy).

Furthermore, effective diversification combining downside risk protection on assets like Bitcoin, along with digital bonds yielding 14% before fees, allows you to smooth out risk over the year. This strategy enables you to benefit from Bitcoin’s potential upside (up to 75% per annum).

Streamlining User Experience in a Fragmented Landscape

In the convergence of traditional finance and the Web3 space, users are left juggling multiple platforms to manage their assets. This fragmented landscape demands a revolution.

Why it matters:

With nearly 2000 DeFi platforms and over a thousand distinct blockchains existing in 2024, it’s time to refocus on what truly matters: the user experience.

The Big Picture:

It feels as though every developer is busy launching their own Layer 1, Layer 2, and now Real World Asset platforms, expecting users to constantly cross-bridge with every new protocol. The reality is that people are exhausted from spreading themselves thin across various platforms.

• Fragmented Services: This fragmentation leads to a poor user experience, where individuals must juggle between banks, crypto exchanges, DeFi, and RWA services, not to mention the bridges between blockchains.
• Siloed Ecosystems: Users are often restricted to using project-specific tokens, which can suffer from volatile pricing.
• Tedious Asset Transfers: Managing assets across different protocols is cumbersome and inefficient.

And the Old World?

Many citizens in developed societies already have accounts with banks or Neobanks for deposits, broker access for ETFs, and have been forced onto early crypto exchange platforms in pursuit of fleeting bull runs.

What users are saying?

Our survey and risk profiling information since 2021 reveal that users desire fewer coins and more comprehensive solutions. They want a service that offers a clear range of investment products, including the simple purchase of digital assets, best-in-class custody, and a straightforward DeFi or RWA offering, all in one place.
