Interest composition

Transactions realized

Beginning of the month,

  • I converted my UMAMI tokens into Bonsai tokens on Arbitrum as the project reorganized.
  • I claimed my STRK reward tokens from Ekubo and reinvested them into the USDC/DAI liquidity pool.

Middle of the month,

  • I removed the remaining funds I had in the crvUSD/tBTC/ETH Curve liquidity poll on Base and claimed the CRV rewards. I did that as the interest rate was decreasing on Curve and because I could get better rate elsewhere.
  • I converted the CRV and crvUSD in USDC and invested them into a SNX USDC liquidity position for around 60% APY at that time.
  • I invested the tBTC and WETH into Aura Finance on Base for around 20% APY.
  • I claimed the Aura Finance and PancakeSwap Finance rewards on Ethereum and converted them into WBTC and tBTC.
  • I also transferred some tBTC I had on Solana to Ethereum and deposited everything into the tBTC/WBTC liquidity pool on Aura Finance.
  • I claimed my Ekubo airdrop and converted it into USDC 
  • I claimed my STRK reward tokens from Ekubo and reinvested them into the WBTC/ETH liquidity pool.

End of the month,

  • I claimed the rewards and removed my tokens from the tBTC/WBTC liquidity pool on Aura Finance and move them on Optimism in Merkl for around 10% APY.
  • I converted the rewards in MPS tokens. These are the tokens of Mt Pelerin, the cheapest on-ramp platform if you own these tokens.
  • I used Mt Pelerin to buy some USDC directly on Base with Swiss Franc coming from my bank account without any fees.
  • I contributed these USDC on the USDC/sFrax liquidity pool on Merkl on Base.
  • I claimed my STRK reward tokens from Ekubo and reinvested them into the USDT/USDC liquidity pool on Starknet.

Evolution of the portfolio value

  • The portfolio finished the month with a gain of $61K which is +20%.
  • The performances of the main components of the portfolio were very red: WBTC(+16.13%), ETH(+28.14%), GMX(+47%).

Portfolio history

  • The stable coins allocation is now 15%. It is a mix of USDC/USDT/DAI/sFRAX.
  • 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.
