How to Make the Best Crypto Portfolio in Nexo?

Smart and Sensible investors never let their assets sit idle. Their assets are working 24/7 to bring home more money. In the world of cryptocurrencies, Nexo helps you earn from your idle cryptos in the form of interest. But, it is important to have a properly diversified portfolio to make the most out of Nexo. So in this article, we will show you how you can make the best crypto portfolio in Nexo.

All the cryptocurrencies that are sitting in your crypto wallet are earning nothing at the moment.

And during a market downcycle, all you can do is either buy more cryptos to bring down your dollar cost average. Or wait for the trend to reverse.

But with a Nexo Savings Account, you can utilize your cryptos to earn some interest even when the whole crypto market is down.

So, here we will see how to make a good crypto portfolio in Nexo and we will also create a few realistic crypto portfolios for Nexo.

As of March 2022, Marcus by Goldman Sachs is offering an interest rate of just 0.50% on their Online Savings Account.

Whereas Nexo is offering an interest rate of 5% on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Nexo is also offering a ridiculous interest rate of 10% on Stablecoin such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC).

You can earn even more interest on your crypto in Nexo using the Fixed Term.

Fixed Term in Nexo is equivalent to traditional Fixed Deposit or CD.

Below is a pictorial example of the interest rate provided by Nexo on Bitcoin.

Just because of the high-interest rate paid by Nexo, creating a Nexo Savings Account and buying random crypto coins and tokens will be detrimental for an investor.

Making a planned, well-diversified crypto portfolio in Nexo is the key to success.

Before we start, we should clarify that the portfolio we are going to make is for long term crypto investors and not for traders.

And, you can replicate the portfolios even in other crypto exchanges or platforms.

Here we have compared a few crypto interest accounts, including Nexo. Do give it a read, as it will help you to make a more sound crypto strategy.

So, let’s start.

Best Crypto Portfolio in Nexo

Before you start making a crypto portfolio in Nexo, you need to have a Nexo Savings Account.

If you don’t have a Nexo Savings Account, click here to create one.

Do remember that Nexo is a centralized platform, so your account needs to be KYC verified. And Nexo is also rewarding its new users with $25 worth of Bitcoin.

Nexo has its own asset-backed token called Nexo Token. And the token is utilized in distinguishing a user’s Loyalty Level.

Having a certain percentage of your crypto portfolio in Nexo Token gives you perks such as increased interest, cashback while buying or swapping cryptos, more number of withdrawals, etc.

Here is a picture showing all the Loyalty Levels in Nexo. Or you can click here to know more about each Loyalty Level.

As the Platinum level provides the most amount of benefits, we will allocate 10% of our portfolio to Nexo Tokens.

Nexo also provides a bonus interest rate of 2% when you opt for getting your interest paid in Nexo Tokens.

You can turn that option on through the setting menu in your Nexo Account.

Now we have 90% of the portfolio remaining which we can allocate to other crypto coins and tokens.

As of March 2022, Nexo supports 36 Cryptocurrencies.

As this crypto portfolio is mostly focused on earning interest and not taking the “high risk – high reward” path, we will allocate a major portion of the portfolio towards Stablecoins.

Stablecoin in your portfolio will reduce volatility and Nexo pays the highest interest on Stablecoins.

We will allocate 25% of the portfolio towards TerraUSD (UST) and another 25% towards USD Coin (USDC).

You can allocate the whole 50% of the portfolio towards TerraUSD (UST), as Nexo offers an interest rate of 17% on TerraUSD to its Platinum Level users.

But at the end of the day, though it is a Stablecoin and UST is pegged to the American dollar in the ratio 1:1, it is a cryptocurrency.

So, just to mitigate the risk of concentration, we will diversify even our Stanblecoin holdings.

Let’s move on.

The remaining 40% of the portfolio will go towards other cryptocurrencies.

We will allocate 15% towards Bitcoin and 10% towards Ethereum.

Out of the remaining 15% of the portfolio, 5% will be allocated towards Cardano.

Out of the last 10% of the portfolio, 2.5% will be allocated towards Chainlink and another 2.5% will be allocated towards Polygon.

We will also allocate another 2.5% of the portfolio towards Solana.

The last remaining 2.5% of the portfolio can be allocated towards some “high risk – high reward” crypto such as Axie Infinity.

As you can see below, Nexo offers a whopping 40% interest rate (Fixed Terms + Bonus Interest) on Axie Infinity Tokens to its Platinum Level users.

Coins and Tokens used in making the above portfolio are some of the best cryptos you can buy in Nexo.

The crypto portfolio we made above is neither too conservative nor too growth-oriented.

This crypto portfolio if followed, will generate regular income in the form of interest while protecting the principal investment capital.

So, here is how our crypto portfolio looks at the moment.

Best Longterm Crypto Portfolio in Nexo

1. TerraUSD (UST) – 25%
2. USD Coin (USDC) – 25%
3. Bitcoin (BTC) – 15%
4. Ethereum (ETH) – 10%
5. Cardano (ADA) – 5%
6. Chainlink (LINK) – 2.5%
7. Polygon (MATIC) – 2.5%
8. Solana (SOL) – 2.5%
9. Axie Infinity (AXS) – 2.5%
10. Nexo Tokens (NEXO) – 10%

If you are not comfortable with 2.5% of your crypto portfolio invested in some high-risk token like Axie Infinity then you can further diversify that position into more tokens like Decentraland (MANA).

Note – As of March 2022, Nexo doesn’t pay any interest on holding MANA in the Nexo Savings Account.

By the time you are reading this article, if Nexo has started paying interest on Decentraland, then you can divide the last 2.5% of your crypto portfolio between Axie Infinity (AXS) and Decentraland (MANA).

The above crypto portfolio in Nexo is well balanced and diversified.

The aim of this crypto portfolio is not growth but capital protection and income generation. This crypto portfolio might not appreciate your invested capital by 10x or 12x within a year or two, but it will keep bringing home money regularly.

Now, let us see how to make a crypto portfolio in Nexo in dollar terms.

How to Make a $2,000 Crypto Portfolio in Nexo?

For a Begineer to an Intermediate crypto investor, a $2,000 portfolio is not uncommon.

Capital loss during the early days of the investment journey can demotivate an investor, and it can leave a sour taste towards crypto.

So, the main aim of this portfolio is to protect the principal capital and provide a regular passive income in the form of interest.

Let’s start building the crypto portfolio.

As we know, 10% of the portfolio needs to be allocated towards Nexo Tokens to utilize the perks of the Platinum Loyalty Level in Nexo.

So, out of the $2,000, $200 will be allocated towards Nexo Tokens (NEXO).

Now, we have $1,800 left to construct the rest of the portfolio.

TerraUSD (UST) and USD Coin (USDC) each will get an allocation of 25%. That means, $500 will be allocated towards TerraUSD and another $500 will be allocated towards USD Coin.

Now, we have a remaining purse size of $800.

Next, we will allocate $300 towards Bitcoin (BTC) and $200 towards Ethereum (ETH).

Our remaining purse size now is $300.

We will now allocate $100 towards Cardano (ADA).

After all the above allocation, now we are left with the last $200.

The final $200 will be equally allocated towards Chainlink (LINK), Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL) and Axie Infinity (AXS).

Each of the 4 cryptocurrencies will get an allocation of $50.

So, here is what our $2,000 crypto portfolio looks like.

Best $2000 Crypto Portfolio in Nexo

1. Nexo Tokens (NEXO) – $200
2. TerraUSD (UST) – $500
3. USD Coin (USDC) – $500
4. Bitcoin (BTC) – $300
5. Ethereum (ETH) – $200
6. Cardano (ADA) – $100
7. Chainlink (LINK) – $50
8. Polygon (MATIC) – $50
9. Solana (SOL) – $50
10. Axie Infinity (AXS) – $50

The above crypto portfolio will form a base upon which you can grow your portfolio further by injecting more funds.

Once the size of the portfolio doubles, then you can think of introducing other cryptocurrencies in your portfolio.

An investment budget of $2,000 doesn’t provide much flexibility.

You cannot include other cryptocurrencies in your portfolio, even if you want. Because that would dilute your portfolio too much.

But with a $10,000 investment budget, you can have ample options to diversify your crypto portfolio further and include other cryptocurrencies.

So, let us make a $10,000 crypto portfolio in Nexo.

How to Make a $10,000 Crypto Portfolio in Nexo?

A $10,000 crypto portfolio is a dream of many. But properly constructing the portfolio is a challenge.

So, if you have $10K investable capital and you are thinking of investing in cryptocurrencies via Nexo, then you are at the right place.

Here, we will be building a well-diversified, long term crypto portfolio in Nexo with $10,000.

An investor who can afford to allocate $10,000 into cryptocurrencies is not a novice investor.

We will be assuming that the investor knows the basics of cryptocurrencies and follow crypto news weekly, if not daily.

That is why the crypto portfolio we are going to build will have a little bit more risk associated with it, which portfolios of lower size might not want to replicate.

So, let’s start constructing the crypto portfolio.

First of all, we will make a list of how much of the portfolio will be allocated to each crypto.

As per Nexo, 10% of your portfolio should be in Nexo Tokens (NEXO) so that you can become eligible for the Platinum Loyalty Level.

Increased interest rate is among many other perks that Nexo offers to their Platinum Level members.

Now, we have 90% of the portfolio left to build the rest of the portfolio.

25% of the portfolio will be allocated towards both TerraUSD (UST) and USD Coin (USDC).

40% of the portfolio remains to be allocated.

Out of the 40%, Bitcoin (BTC) will get an allocation of 12% and 8% will be allocated towards Ethereum (ETH).

Out of the remaining 20% of the portfolio, Cardano (ADA) will get an allocation of 5%.

The final 15% will be equally distributed among EOS (EOS), Chainlink (LINK), Polkadot (DOT), Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX).

It means each of the 6 cryptocurrencies will get an allocation of 2.5%.

Here is how the crypto portfolio looks at the moment.

Best Well-Diversified Crypto Portfolio in Nexo

1. Nexo Tokens (NEXO) – 10%
2. TerraUSD (UST) – 25%
3. USD Coin (USDC) – 25%
4. Bitcoin (BTC) – 12%
5. Ethereum (ETH) – 8%
6. Cardano (ADA) – 5%
7. EOS (EOS) – 2.5%
8. Chainlink (LINK) – 2.5%
9. Polkadot (DOT) – 2.5%
10. Polygon (MATIC) – 2.5%
11. Solana (SOL) – 2.5%
12. Avalanche (AVAX) – 2.5%

Now we will see how $10,000 will be distributed among all the crypto coins and tokens.

First, we will allocate $1,000 towards Nexo Tokens (NEXO) to become a Platinum Level user.

Now let us build the rest of the portfolio with the remaining $9,000.

$2,500 will be allocated towards TerraUSD (UST), and another $2,500 will be allocated towards USD Coin (USDC).

Bitcoin (BTC) will get an allocation of $1,200, and $800 will be allocated towards Ethereum.

$500 will be allocated towards Cardano (ADA).

The final $1,500 will go towards EOS (EOS), Chainlink (LINK), Polkadot (DOT), Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX).

Each of the 6 cryptos will get an allocation of $250.

Now here is what our $10,000 crypto portfolio looks like.

Best $10,000 Crypto Portfolio in Nexo

1. Nexo Tokens (NEXO) – $1,000
2. TerraUSD (UST) – $2,500
3. USD Coin (USDC) – $2,500
4. Bitcoin (BTC) – $1,200
5. Ethereum (ETH) – $800
6. Cardano (ADA) – $500
7. EOS (EOS) – $250
8. Chainlink (LINK) – $250
9. Polkadot (DOT) – $250
10. Polygon (MATIC) – $250
11. Solana (SOL) – $250
12. Avalanche (AVAX) – $250

The main aim of the above portfolio is to protect the principal investment and generate a regular stream of income.

But, you can tweak a few positions and include some of the cryptos you like.

You might reduce some allocation from cryptos like EOS (EOS), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL) and introduce some new cryptos like Aave (AAVE) or Cosmos (ATOM).

Note – As of March 2022, Nexo doesn’t pay any interest on Aave (AAVE).

Or, you might add some good cryptos like Basic Attention Token (BAT) or Compound (COMP) if Nexo adds them to their list of supported digital assets.

That was it.
