Top Brazilian asset management firm recommends allocating 1-3% of Bitcoin to hedge risk

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto Rhythm】 Recently, I came across an interesting trend—the largest private bank asset management company in Brazil mentioned in their year-end report that they recommend investors allocate 1% to 3% of their portfolio to Bitcoin.

Their reasoning is quite straightforward. The company’s strategy chief mentioned that cryptocurrencies can serve as a complementary asset. Why allocate? The reason is that, given the current global economic and environmental uncertainties and the pressure on currency devaluation, allocating a portion of funds to assets like Bitcoin can help absorb these shocks—similar to buying insurance for your asset portfolio.

This signal is quite interesting. From the perspective of a traditional financial institution, beginning to include Bitcoin in formal asset allocation recommendations indicates that mainstream financial systems are increasingly recognizing the value of cryptocurrencies.

Things are moving quickly over in Brazil. Traditional finance is starting to recognize BTC, and although the proportion is small, it's definitely a signal.

1-3%? That's too conservative, but at least it shows that traditional finance is finally coming clean.

1-3%? This wave is really steady, big institutions are that cautious --- Another traditional financial heavyweight has recognized btc, now institutional bottom-fishing might be getting more active --- The insurance analogy is quite fitting, but in extreme situations, what kind of insurance can Bitcoin really provide... --- This Brazilian company has figured it out, 1% peace of mind is more valuable than anything else --- Wait, what kind of advice is 1-3%? That's hardly even a sliver of an asset allocation --- Institutions are gradually entering, the signal is indeed starting to change, but the pace is a bit sluggish --- Interesting, interesting, traditional finance is now starting to find "legitimate reasons" for Bitcoin --- Finally, someone dared to mention Bitcoin in their annual report, this attitude is truly different from before --- It's nice to call it insurance, but in harsh words, it's just fear of devaluation; anyway, btc has been treated as a chip this way --- 1-3% may seem conservative, but in reality, this is a signal of big funds testing the waters, worth pondering

1-3%? That's not even enough for a single all-in, haha.

Still looking at the data from Brazil at 2 AM... I need to calculate the 1-3% configuration ratio, and how large the corresponding liquidity gap could be. Institutional-level entries are always accompanied by arbitrage opportunities, so I really should keep a close eye on the depth changes of trading pairs.
