$BTC (-5,76 %)
#bitcoin is an indispensable store of value for any crypto portfolio, but at the same time offers a growth component that other typical stores of value do not. In my view, a crypto portfolio should therefore be built around Bitcoin. Institutional adoption via ETFs and allocations to corporate treasuries is an important narrative, but in reality we are still very early in some segments of the market. While there is some saturation in digital asset tokens, there is significant potential for additional inflows as more allocators develop a better understanding of the asset class - such as more conservative investment committees or even governments.
#ethereum remains the leading smart contract platform in terms of total value locked (TVL) and developer activity. The Layer 2 ecosystem, including Arbitrum, Optimism and Base, continues to scale the network and bring in new users. Most importantly, Ethereum is well positioned to benefit from the growth of stablecoins and tokenization infrastructures. Regulatory advances through legislation such as the GENIUS Act could significantly accelerate this trend. Scott Bessent expects stablecoins to be worth three trillion by 2030, and we believe Ethereum is well positioned to absorb a significant share of this.
#solana Ethereum follows a similar value proposition to Ethereum, but offers high throughput rates and low fees. Owning both assets therefore allows for broad coverage of the smart contract segment. Tokenized equities are likely to become more established on Solana and with spot ETFs now available, significant capital inflows could follow in 2026. ETH and SOL are generally well covered in the smart contract platform market, and with prices largely depressed, they offer attractive entry points without the speculative overheating of past highs.
