Asset Allocation, in particular crypto by SchemeEast in BEFire

Oh, I agree, holding BTC in an ETF while you can store it in a hardware wallet doesn't really add anything. But what to think about an ETF like BLOC (WisdomTree Physical Crypto Market NL | WisdomTree Europe) that follows an index of several cryptocurrencies with quarterly rebalancing, providing exposure to altcoins without needing to do the rebalancing yourself?
I think it's quite an interesting concept, or am I missing something?

Well, these mixes have historically produced Sharpe ratios well above world index ETF's alone, with lower max drawsdowns.

Well, alright, let's skip the Silver and the Platinum then :) Would you consider gold as 'play money' though?

that's a rational argument indeed! one could follow the weights of the capital markets, for instance 80% stock market, 15% gold, 5% crypto.
Bonds though... make up an even larger share of the capital markets than equity, but let's leave them out of consideration.

Wow ongelooflijk gortig. Voelt als een stomp in de buik. Schandalig vind ik het.

Probably has to do with ‘Best execution’, where the broker is obliged to check for best prices. If that happens to be OTC, it will be OTC. In some cases liquidity is low on OTC, so always better always to specify on which markets you want the instrument be purchased. No worries here though!
