Ever wonder what a truly balanced global portfolio actually looks like? Traditional allocations typically feature gold at around 12% of holdings, acting as that classic inflation hedge. But here's what catches attention—crypto still sits at roughly 1.2% in most institutional portfolios. That gap tells a story about where we are in the adoption cycle. Whether it's structural underweighting or prudent risk management really depends on your view of where digital assets fit in long-term wealth preservation. The numbers suggest crypto's penetration into mainstream allocations remains in early innings.

1.2% vs 12%, this data gap is a microcosm of the entire industry's current situation. Institutions are still on the sidelines, but the underlying logic has already been broken — asset verification efficiency is the real trump card, not scale.

1.2% This number is really heartbreaking; institutions still haven't fully grasped the value of BTC.

1.2% That number is really hilarious. Institutions are just this conservative. They will regret it sooner or later.

1.2%? Laughable. Institutions are still too conservative. We'll be the true winners only when the big money fully enters the market.

It should be pointed out that the figure of 1.2% itself is an opportunity for falsification. On-chain data shows that the actual institutional players have long exceeded this proportion, and what remains are traditional asset management firms still using fiat currency thinking. Clearly, the so-called "early stage" precisely indicates how ignorant most people are.

1.2% Haha, the gap is ridiculously huge. Gold accounts for 12%, and we only have 1.2%. Truly underestimated to the core.
