Report: CBETH's position vis-à-vis ETH

1 Introduction CBETH (Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH) is a derivative of Ethereum (ETH) issued by the crypto exchange Coinbase. It serves as a tokenized form of staked Ethereum and offers users the ability to use their staked ETH tokens without giving up their staking stake. This report examines the differences, benefits and risks of CBETH compared to native ETH tokens.

2 Differences between CBETH and ETH

• Origin and structure: ETH is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, while CBETH is a wrapped token representing staked ETH on Coinbase.
• Usage: While ETH is primarily used for transactions, smart contracts and decentralized applications, CBETH is intended for users who want to participate in staking and still maintain liquidity.
• Performance: CBETH reflects both the value of ETH and staking rewards, which is why it can have a higher long-term appreciation compared to ETH.

3. advantages of CBETH

• Staking rewards: CBETH offers the opportunity to benefit from staking rewards without having to lock the tokens.
• Increased liquidity: Users can trade CBETH on different platforms instead of leaving their staked ETH unchanged.
• Additional DeFi opportunities: CBETH can be used in DeFi protocols to generate additional yields.

4. risks and challenges

• Trust dependency: CBETH is dependent on Coinbase as a centralized provider. Should Coinbase have problems, this could affect the value of CBETH.
• Volatility and price differences: The price of CBETH may deviate from ETH, especially during periods of high market volatility or lower demand.
• Regulatory risks: As a product of a regulated entity, CBETH could be subject to regulatory restrictions that could impact utilization and liquidity.

5. conclusion CBETH offers Ethereum stakers a valuable way to preserve liquidity while receiving staking income. Despite the benefits such as increased liquidity and use in DeFi protocols, there are risks related to centralization, price discrepancies and regulatory uncertainty. Users should therefore carefully consider their strategy before choosing CBETH over ETH.

As the altcoin winter season is slowly starting I hope you have sold everything except $BTC (+0.74%) sold in time.

$SOL (+3.09%) will probably be my first purchase in the winter season. You simply have to take such simple dump&pump returns with you. Maybe a little bit more $ETH (+3.52%) . The anticipation for future purchases is growing 💯

Have you heard of Nano Labs Ltd $CTLE yet? The company has recently released exciting news! 🎉 They have reached agreements with investors to sell 913,714 Class A shares in a private placement. The price per share is 6.46 USD, which totals about 5.9 million USD - and the whole thing will be paid in Bitcoin $BTC (+0.74%) and $USDT (+0.1%) and

In addition, Nano Labs has increased its Bitcoin holdings and now holds around 400 Bitcoins worth around USD 40 million. The average purchase price per Bitcoin is USD 99,500. This shows that the company is actively investing in cryptocurrencies and diversifying its strategy.

What do you think of this combination of selling shares and investing in Bitcoin? Do you think Nano Labs is on the right track?

Sodala, I've narrowed down my portfolio a bit and tidied up the savings plans.

Biggest shifts in the last few weeks:

MSCI World -> FTSE All World

AI & Big Data -> Nasdaq100

Random Ass Gold ETC -> Euwax Gold 2

Altcoins/Shitcoins -> Bitcoin

Larger multiplier for TR Saveback

I'm out of the "Poah, the theme ETF sounds cool, savings plan 50€ IMMEDIATELY" phase and I have to say, such a narrower portfolio somehow looks nicer too lol. I only kept a classic sector ETF savings plan, I just like it. The savings rate isn't really high either, you can just see what happens.

Here are the updated savings plans, feel free to add your comments. I like mustard

Monthly savings plans:

1.Nasdaq 100 $XNAS (-1.52%)
(Acc, incl. PA): 305 €

2.FTSE All World $VWCE (-0.92%)
(Acc): 100 €

3.Future of Defense ETF $ASWC (-2.25%)
(Acc): 75 €

4.Gold: 50 € $EWG2 (+0%)

5.Crypto:

-$BTC (+0.74%) : 100 €

Hello everyone,

I am 25 years old and am saving for my retirement - so my investment horizon is still very long. Because of my age, I'm prepared to take a higher risk.

My portfolio currently consists of:

$VWCE (-0.92%)

$BTC (+0.74%)

$EWG2 (+0%)

I am now considering whether it would make sense to $DX2D (-1.3%) be included. I am particularly interested:

What opportunities and risks do you see with $DX2D (-1.3%)

Assuming a risk-averse strategy, how would you structure the percentage allocation of my portfolio?

Other suggestions or food for thought are also welcome.

I am currently saving all €50 per month. I'm not sure about the allocation and would be grateful for any food for thought. I am definitely willing to take risks; I have experience with volatility as I have been involved with Bitcoin for some time. Unfortunately, I always sold everything back then because I didn't have a plan or strategy. I am aware of the swap risk and the dependency. I'm currently watching a lot of videos from Finanztipp and Finanzfluss.

I am grateful for any comments, food for thought and your opinion.

Thank you very much in advance and have a nice evening 🫶

I've made some loose change...

Hi Community,

I am in the process of restructuring my portfolio of around €120k and adjusting the savings plans accordingly - I would like to hear your opinion on this and use the swarm intelligence. My target portfolio should look like this in a few months, the savings plans should be adjusted and probably rebalanced 1x-2x per year:

• 42.5% MSCI World $IWDA (-1.03%)
• 42.5% S&P500 $XSXD (-1.13%)
• 10% gold $IGLN (-0.55%)
• 5% BTC $BTC (+0.74%)

Briefly about me: investment horizon 30+ years, prefer distributing ETFs from a tax perspective (Austria), am already diversified across investments with bonds and a property

The clump in the USA is quite intentional - the majority of US companies in the indices operate worldwide, which is of similar importance to me as the location of the companies. I deliberately decided against an emerging market ETF because I have confidence in the developed countries and do not foresee the USA losing its supremacy in the distant future.

Would you share this view or change it (e.g. leave out the S&P500 and put 85% in the World?)?

Between 2018 and 2020, I had earned a large part of my current invested amount with cryptocurrency. Among other things, I bought GPUs on credit and mined Ethereum with them.

I had earned back the loan installments and electricity costs by a factor of around 5-10 through mining. Those were times that I really miss. Imagine you meet a Bonobo student who tells you he earns 2-3K/month passively by running such funny glowing graphics cards in his "children's room".

Thanks to the market situation at the time, I was able to sell some of the GPUs I bought at a profit when Ethereum switched to PoS.

At some point, I completely turned my back on cryptocurrencies because I personally didn't see any useful applications for them.

However, due to the Trump administration, I'm going to put my own beliefs (which obviously cost me returns) on the back burner a bit and start holding $BTC (and $NEXO for extra interest) in smaller amounts again.

Let's see what happens :)

With the additional purchase, my portfolio has now exceeded 100,000 for the first time
