Defensive Value Strategies Gain Traction Amid Crypto Market Volatility
Market turbulence has investors reevaluating traditional defensive strategies—capital preservation now rivals growth chasing even in crypto markets. The recent concentration in AI and tech tokens mirrors equity market risks, creating ripe conditions for value-oriented portfolio construction.
Bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) remain anchors, but savvy allocators diversify into LTC, SOL, and DOT for sector balance. Exchange-traded products on Binance and Coinbase now embed defensive screens previously exclusive to traditional assets.
‘Panic selling during corrections destroys more wealth than bear markets,’ notes a Bitget strategist. Protocols like Pendle (PENDLE) and Ethena (ENA) now offer structured products with downside buffers—a sign of maturation in crypto risk management.
