What crypto allocation improves a traditional portfolio?

Research shows 1-5% Bitcoin allocation historically improved 60/40 portfolio Sharpe ratio due to low correlation with traditional assets. Above 10% allocation, portfolio risk dramatically increases due to Bitcoin's high volatility.

Are crypto assets good portfolio diversifiers?

Pre-2020, Bitcoin had low correlation to equities. Post-2020, correlations have risen during risk-off events. During the 2022 crypto winter, BTC fell 75% alongside equity bear markets, demonstrating unreliable diversification in stress events.
