Welcome to the monthly review of my token portfolio, I started tracking this portfolio now 15 months ago in full transparency. I provide updates of the interests received, the services used and the transactions performed during the month. This post tracks what happened in May and this month is was very bumpy...

Regarding the interest composition, MATIC(45%), BOR(24%), LDO(10%), CEL(7%) are the top contributors of the interest. The remaining 16 sources are only 14%.
Transactions realized
At the beginning of the month,
- I reinvested previous EGG, BUSD and USDT rewards into a USDT vault from Bunny Finance
- I also reinvested previous BUNNY rewards into the BUNNY vault from Bunny Finance
- I moved my MATIC from AAVE to Beefy Finance to get a higher rewards, around 20% APY
Middle of the month, all the market started crashing, Bunny Finance got hacked and all its vaults earned almost nothing at that time, so
- I moved my BTCB, USDT and BNB from Bunny Finance to Goose Finance vaults
- I also moved my DOT from the Goose Finance farm to the Goose Finance vault
- I reinvested (several times) the MATIC rewards received from the Curve aDAI+aUSDC+aUSDT liquidity pool to Beefy Finance
- I moved my oBTC from Ethereum to Polygon L2 blockchain to get higher rewards from BoringDAO (around 30%) and lower gas cost
- I converted my BOR rewards from BoringDAO to EURS and staked them into Yearn Finance
- I staked my LUNA tokens on Anchor
End of the month,
- I sold all GUSD rewards for some USDT and added them on the Goose Finance vault
- I reinvested the last MATIC rewards received from the Curve aDAI+aUSDC+aUSDT liquidity pool to WBTC and put them in the Beefy Finance vault
- I moved my EURS from Yearn Finance to Convex Finance to get better rewards
- I moved my stETH/ETH liquidity pool tokens from Curve to Convex Finance to get better rewards
- I claimed my Convex Finance rewards as LDO, CVX and CRV tokens, converted the LDO to CRV and staked both CRV and CVX on Convex Finance
- Finally I had to move back the BOR rewards from BoringDAO to Ethereum to convert it to WBTC and stake it on Convex Finance via Curve tBTC/sBTC pool
Evolution of the portfolio value
- The portfolio finished the month with a loss of $86K which is -13%. This is bad especially as the 11th of May the portfolio was gaining +14%, but not THAT bad as 2 weeks later, it was loosing more than -25%...
- If we look at the performance of the main components of the portfolio: CHSB lost -39.53%, BTC lost -36.55%, ETH lost -10.6% and CEL gained +15.38%.
- I did not do major rebalancing during the month, I only reinvested some of the crypto interest into stable coins before the crash and into BTC after and during the crash
- The stable coin allocation is now 19.1% which is in my 15-20% target range
- The ETH/BTC allocation is now 43%, completely in the 40-50% target range
- CEL/CHSB is still at around 30% which is fine.
Regarding the evolution of the portfolio value vs the capital invested, the portfolio value lost some margin compared to the value invested. I like this diagram during volatile month as it helps keeping a cool head.
Another thing that helped me keep a cool head is the following diagram with the monthly performance of the portfolio compared to bitcoin:
Things to look forward to in June
In June, I'll keep monitoring the yields of my various investments and in particular the ones from Convex Finance. This platform is fairly new and very promising. I'm also looking forward of the announcement that should happen in a few days in the Bitcoin Conference especially from Celsius Network.
