Annual interest

Regarding the interest composition, this month the sources are very diverse and the EIGEN airdrop was here to save the month: EIGEN(24.1%), ARB(21%), GHO/USDC(13.7%), CAKE(11.6%), UNI(6.5%), tBTC(6.4%)and T(6.1%)are the top contributors. The remaining sources are around 10.6%.

Interest composition

Transactions realized

As GnosisPay started their cashback program, I did the following to fund my card and ensure my cashback:

  • I swapped my COW tokens and remaining CRV, UNI, BADGER for GNO tokens and moved them in the safe wallet associated to my GnosisPay VISA debit card to get up to 5% APY cashback on my spendings.
  • I swapped my Bonsai tokens and remaining CRV, AURA and USDT for USDC on Arbitrum and moved everything on Gnosis. Then I purchased MPS tokens. The goal of these tokens, which are Mt-Pelerin Shares, are to get free on-ramp fees with Mt-Pelerin.
  • Then I did two deposits of CHF directly from my bank account directly to xDAI on Gnosis to fund the GnosisPay debit card.
  • I put around 2000 EURE in the safe of the card and put the remaining in the xDAI/EURE liquidity pool on Beefy for around 18% APY.
  • Finally I started spending some crypto.

Now, back to my usual transactions, beginning of the month,

  • I removed the WBTC/tBTC liquidity I had invested in Merkl on Arbitrum as the rewards stopped. I moved it on Velodrome Finance on Optimism.
  • I removed the wstETH/WETH liquidity I had invested in Aura on Arbitrum as the rewards decreased. I moved the token to PancakeSwap Finance on Ethereum and zkSync.
  • I moved the WBTC/tBTC from Velodrome Finance on Optimism to GMX on Arbitrum as the rewards stopped.
  • I moved the FRAX/sFRAX from Aura Finance to USDC/USDe on Merkl on Arbitrum for around 20% APY.

Middle of the month,

End of the month,

  • I moved the ETH/wstETH liquidity from PancakeSwap Finance on zkSync Era to wstETH/InstETH on Aura Finance on Optimismc for around 15%.
  • I moved the WETH/tBTC liquidity from Merkl on Arbitrum to cbBTC/WETH on Merkl on Base for around 35%. I invested the remaining WETH into estETH/frxETH liquidity pool from Beefy on Base for around 12%.
  • I moved the WBTC from GMX on Arbitrum to tBTC on GMX for better APY.
  • I claimed and restaked my AAVE rewards.
  • I moved the stBTC/tBTC liquidity from Curve Finance and the eBTC/tBTC from Convex Finance to WBTC/cbBTC on PancakeSwap Finance on Ethereum for 15 APY.
  • I claimed my season 2 EIGEN airdrop.
  • I claimed and restaked my GHO rewards on ACI.

Evolution of the portfolio value

  • The portfolio finished the month with a gain of $11.5K which is +4.05%.
  • The performances of the main components of the portfolio were mostly positives: WBTC(+6.13%), ETH(+0.89%), GMX(-10.17%), SOL(+12.75%) and AAVE(+20.49%).

Portfolio evolution

  • The stable coins allocation is now 21.7%. It is a mix of GHO/USDC/USDT/USDe/EURe.
  • 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.

Capital invested vs portfolio value

The portfolio performance is +4.05% this month, the historical monthly average is now +4.8%.

Portfolio performance

Things to look forward in October

September was a finally better than expected, and I'm enjoying my new GnosisPay debit card. I plan to progressively reduce the amount of my invested capital by using crypto rewards to pay for my monthly spendings while earning cashback. Regarding the position, AAVE seems very strong and I'll increase it while GMX seems to become weaker, and I'll probably revisit it in October.
