Beginning of the month,

  • I removed the liquidity I had invested in the ezETH/wstETH liquidty pool on Beefy on Arbitrum and moved it in the ezETH/ETH on Merkl.

Middle of the month,

  • I removed the liquidity I had invested in the ezETH/ETH on Merkl and moved it into the wstETH/WETH on Aura Finance.
  • I claimed the OP reward on Merkl and contributed it back in the tBTC/WBTC liquidity pool. 
  • I removed the liquidity I had invested in the USDC/sFRAX liquidity pool on Merkl on Base, converted the FXS and BSX rewards into stable coins, moved the funds on Arbitrum and invested into the USDT/FRAX liquidity pool on Merkl.
  • I claimed my STRK reward tokens from Ekubo and reinvested them into the WBTC/ETH liquidity pool on Nostra Finance for 36% APY.

End of the month,

  • I claimed all my UNI token rewards from Merkl on Linea, moved it to Ethereum, swapped it to ETH, bridged it to Solana and swapped it to SOL and invested in the JitoSOL/SOL liquidity pool on Kamino Finance.
  • I removed the liquidity I had invested in the WBTC/WETH in Merkl on Linea, bridged it back to Ethereum an invested it into EBTC/tBTC on Curve Finance  and pxETH/ETH on PancakeSwap Finance.

Evolution of the portfolio value

  • The portfolio finished the month with a gain of $1.5K which is +0.46%.
  • The performances of the main components of the portfolio were average: WBTC(+4.4%), ETH(-6.8%), GMX(-6.27%)

Portfolio evolution

  • The stable coins allocation is now 18.6%. It is a mix of USDC/USDT/FRAX.
  • It is now in my target range of 15-25%. I'll reinvest the monthly interest received in stable coin if the stable coin allocation is lower than the range, in non-stable coins if it is higher than the range.  

Portfolio allocation

Here is the portfolio value compared to the value invested and the interest received.

Things to look forward in August

July was a bit better than June but finished fairly bad. I'll try to reallocate things in August to get better yield on the portfolio.
