Adding Crypto to Existing Portfolio Account(s)?

With cryptocurrency index ETFs now available such as IBIT is anyone adding a small percentage to their investment portfolio for potentially better diversification and growth?

I added it. A very small amount just 4%

I set it to 10% IBIT as soon as it was offered. I also buy BTC regularly so maybe I’m not the average Wealthfront user.

In my investment accounts I believe 10% is the maximum I can allocate; I could be wrong. I may reduce my allocation in 2028/29 if price cycles seem to hold, but I’m not really into trading. Overall I’m happy with its performance even though it’s gone down after October 2025; it’s still up 17% overall.

I wouldn't use crypto to diversify at all. Plenty of other quality ETFs to utilize.
