A recent insider investor shared their 2026 asset allocation strategy, which has attracted considerable attention.

It is reported that their family crypto fund Maelstrom is currently entering the new year with an almost fully invested risk exposure. Although idle cash flows will continue to be allocated to Bitcoin, the position in USD stablecoins has already been significantly reduced—this choice itself is quite intriguing.

Even more interesting is their rotation strategy: to pursue returns that surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum, they plan to sell Bitcoin to support positions in the privacy sector, while reducing Ethereum holdings to increase allocations in the DeFi ecosystem. This "hedge-like" asset allocation implies a judgment—when fiat currency credit is still expanding, carefully selected altcoins may have the opportunity to outperform top-tier coins.

However, risk awareness is not absent. They also mentioned an exit condition: if rising oil prices trigger credit contraction, they will initiate profit-taking plans, shift towards increasing Bitcoin holdings, and appropriately establish mETH positions. This macro-driven dynamic adjustment demonstrates a relatively comprehensive risk management logic amid crypto market volatility.

Overall, this allocation strategy reflects the industry's mainstream capital's dual recognition of short-term market expansion and long-term Bitcoin stability, while also reserving room to respond to potential liquidity contractions.

Go all-in until 2026, and still dare to sell BTC to chase privacy coins? This guy is really a bit ruthless. --- When oil prices rise, they run away. Just talk and not act is just a condition for exit; anyway, they'll change their tune later. --- Lowering the USD stablecoin is the right move; it seems the days of flooding the market haven't ended yet. --- Altcoins outperform BTC? Dream on. History will repeat itself, and in the end, it still comes back to Bitcoin. --- Hedged allocation sounds professional, but it's actually just betting on continued loose liquidity. Once the trend reverses, everyone will kneel. --- Still paying attention to mETH positions? This player's perspective is a bit different. --- This logic sounds reasonable, but I bet five bucks his actual operation will be completely different. --- Reducing ETH holdings to DeFi? Well, it does make some sense, although the risk is ridiculously high. --- The moment credit tightens is when the retail investors get their meat cut; he already ran away long ago. --- Playing rotation with full positions? Either a master or a gambler. I can't tell the difference.

Full position entry and pushing down stablecoins, this guy is really daring, betting that liquidity will continue to remain loose. Selling BTC for privacy coins sounds sexy but the risk is really high. What if there is a macro sudden change? The trigger condition for oil prices is set quite well, at least there is a defensive bottom line, much more reliable than some all-in lunatics. Is the altcoin season coming? Or is this just a new trick for big funds to harvest retail investors... hard to say. If this strategy can really outperform top-tier cryptocurrencies, I would be convinced. Anyway, I missed the opportunity and watched others rotate passively.

Going all-in to buy Bitcoin and sell privacy coins? Bro, you're betting on fiat currency credit, that's pretty bold.

Full position entry and still dare to sell BTC for privacy coins, this guy's really bold. --- That oil price is the key; let's wait and see if it really triggers an exit. --- Altcoins outperform BTC? Come on, same old story. --- Rich people's risk management is just different; we're still debating whether to hold stablecoins or not. --- Lowering stablecoin positions so aggressively feels like betting on fiat currency continuing to flood in. --- Reducing ETH to DeFi—are they hinting that the staking ecosystem hasn't taken off yet? --- The details of the mETH position are interesting; is it hedging systemic risk?

Selling BTC to buy privacy coins? This guy's risk appetite is quite high, even pushing stablecoins so low... The rotation has started again, can we make money this time? Going all-in for the New Year, really brave I like the logic of running when oil prices rise Altcoin doubling dreams never die, a typical gambler's mentality haha Bitcoin is still the safest choice This kind of macro hedging is well done, but who can cover the risk of altcoins? Why suppress stablecoins? Aren't you afraid of a drop? Is it good to increase DeFi allocations? The ecosystem is still in a state of decay Following the trend makes fund allocations easy to get cut
