DIVERSIFY YOUR DEFI PORTFOLIO

How do I become the bank?
THE TRUE SOURCES OF DEFI YIELD

Description

DeFi offers various ways to earn income similar to traditional banking. And like them, you want to diversify into various allocations. In addition, with DeFi you have access to other financial instruments previous available to only Wallstreet and Hedge Funds.
The table below shows the different DeFi income types and an example allocation of each. Those labeled in Green are recommended while Red are riskier (and for my portfolio - I’m not interested in it at this stage).
Important Note: This is my current portfolio percentage just for DeFi and is subject to change at any time. Ideally, DeFi is a subset of your crypto portfolio which is a subset of your traditional investment portfolio (e.g. Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, etc).
