Crypto Portfolio Allocation 2026: The 70/20/10 Rule

How to split your crypto investments for maximum returns + minimum risk. Proven allocation strategy.

🎯 Recommended Allocation

70% - Core Holdings (BTC + ETH)

Bitcoin 40% + Ethereum 30%

Most stable. Long-term hold. Lowest volatility. Sleep well at night allocation.

20% - Layer 2 & DeFi (Arbitrum, Optimism, Lido)

Moderate growth. 5-7x upside potential by 2030.

Higher risk than BTC/ETH but still relatively safe. Diversify: 8% ARB, 7% OP, 5% stETH.

10% - Moonshot Altcoins (SOL, XRP, FET)

High risk/high reward. 10-100x upside potential.

Expect 50% drawdowns. Only money you can afford to lose. This is the "fun" allocation.

💡 Why This Works

⚠️: This is NOT financial advice. Your risk tolerance may differ. Adjust percentages based on your timeline (5+ years = more aggressive, <1 year = more conservative).
