The market is relatively new to mainstream adoption, and cryptocurrency assets tend to be concentrated in the hands of a large number of whales. The behavior of large participants seriously affects the price trend of cryptocurrencies. Due to the complexity of DeFi and the cryptocurrency market, new investors with low holding capacity are more likely to be ignored.

What is portfolio rebalancing?

Portfolio rebalancing is a process readjust The weight of the asset portfolio includes the regular buying and selling of assets to maintain the target level of asset allocation and risk. It can help investors manage downside risks while still participating in most upside risks.

This process is crucial in times of financial instability and can help individuals reduce the risk of loss and devaluation of their digital assets.

Rebalancing not only prevents overinvestment, but also helps to inculcate good trading habits by establishing customer discipline to adhere to long-term financial plans, allowing investors (whether young, old, new, and experienced) to monitor regularly Any potential market movements that may cause losses.

Most rebalancing strategies are based on time periods (ie, yearly, quarterly, monthly, etc.), but they can also be reactionary—that is, based on the allowable asset composition percentage, which is more costly. For example, if the original target asset allocation between assets A and B is 50/50, and asset A performs well, you can increase the weight of the portfolio to 70%.

This means that investors may sell part of A to buy more of B to return to the original target allocation of 50/50.Although there is no need to distribute evenly among assets, it is most effective to rebalance through a good combination of volatile and non-volatile assets in the portfolio, Because it can protect investors from excessive exposure to bad risks.

People can go to work, sleep, and vacation because automated smart contracts distribute their earnings to their assets while allowing the portfolio to maintain a net positive return.

Expecting your agent to do this for you when they start working from 9 to 5 is now a thing of the past.
