CryptoRobot Allocation Update – August 2026

The Crypto Evidence Model has completed its July review and the new allocation is now in effect for August 2026.

The model produced a +5.75% return during July. While this trailed both an equal-weight crypto portfolio (+6.92%) and Bitcoin (+7.35%) during the month, the strategy continues to demonstrate the value of systematic risk management over a complete market cycle.

Since inception, the Crypto EM has declined 6.48%, compared with -10.12% for an equal-weight crypto portfolio. Despite giving back some relative performance during July’s recovery, the model still maintains a 3.65 percentage point advantage over the equal-weight benchmark.

The primary reason is simple: the model continued to hold a meaningful cash allocation during the recent market rebound. That reduced upside participation during July, but it also significantly reduced downside exposure during June’s sharp decline.

Metric July 2026

Crypto EM +5.75%

Equal Weight Crypto +6.92%

Bitcoin +7.35%

Portfolio Return

Crypto EM -6.48%

Equal Weight Crypto -10.12%

Bitcoin -6.19%

Outperformance vs Equal Weight: +3.65%

Following the July month-end review, the Crypto EM allocation is now:

Asset Weight

Bitcoin (BTC) 22.73%

Ethereum (ETH) 18.18%

Solana (SOL) 13.64%

BNB 9.09%

XRP 9.09%

Cash 27.27%

Compared with last month, the model has:

• Increased exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

• Reduced allocations to BNB, XRP, and Solana.

• Increased the cash allocation from 25.00% to 27.27%.

Although crypto markets strengthened during July, the evidence tracked by the model continues to favour maintaining a relatively defensive position rather than becoming fully invested.

Monthly performance will naturally vary. Some months the model will outperform strongly, while in other months a higher cash allocation will cause it to lag during sharp rallies.

The objective of the Crypto EM is not to outperform every month.

Instead, it seeks to improve long-term, risk-adjusted returns by allocating capital only where the evidence is strongest while maintaining cash when conditions become less favourable.

The June and July results illustrate this trade-off well:

• June: meaningful downside protection during a broad crypto decline.

• July: modest underperformance during the subsequent rebound.

• Overall: the model continues to hold a cumulative performance advantage over an equal-weight crypto portfolio since inception.

As always, the allocation is entirely rules-based and updated once per month using the Crypto evidence model.
