The multi-asset advantage

By allocating 30-50% to carefully selected altcoins with higher funding rates, Cutwater achieves 5-10% higher annual yields compared to ETH/BTC-only strategies like Ethena.

  • BTC/ETH: 7-12% APY average funding rate
  • Major alts (SOL, AVAX): 15-25% APY funding rate
  • Selected alts: 20-35% APY funding rate
  • Lower correlation = more stable yields
  • Active rotation optimizes returns continuously
