Calibrated launch value from the rulebook. The live reading, the chart and the order panel sit on the desk.
Buy OBAL6Why this basket exists
What the construction is trying to capture, who it is built for, and how it is meant to be sized inside a wider allocation.
Cross-asset balance designed as a single-decision allocation. BTC and ETH for crypto majors, NVIDIA and Apple for tech leadership, gold for the inflation hedge, SPY for broad equity. Backtested Sharpe 1.11 over 729 days, total return +48.9% versus BTC's +11.8% in the same window, max drawdown -24%. The 'one index does it all' starting point for an allocator who wants the asset-class spectrum in one ticker.

Why each name earned its seat
Research notes per constituent: the case for the asset, the regime that suits it, and the risk the seat carries.
- BTC20%Core anchor
Bitcoin is the only crypto asset that clears the institutional bar on every dimension: deepest order books, longest track record, lowest custody friction.
Strongest in flight-to-quality and pro-risk macro phases when liquidity is abundant. Underperforms in altcoin rotations and AI-narrative cycles.
concentration risk - GLDon20%Hedge
SPDR Gold Shares is the largest gold ETF and the cleanest tokenized expression of an institutional gold position.
Performs in flight-to-quality, inflation-up, and dollar-weakness or central-bank-buying cycles.
correlation dilution if duration sells off - AAPLon15%Core anchor
Apple is the largest consumer-electronics franchise and the most cash-generative public company.
Defensive within tech. Outperforms in quality-rotation regimes. Lags when AI-narrative beta drives the tape and Apple's AI positioning is questioned.
regulatory pressure on App Store - ETH15%Core anchor
Ethereum is the only smart-contract platform with the TVL, developer mindshare, and settlement depth to count as core infrastructure.
Outperforms BTC in DeFi cycles and L2 adoption waves. Lags when narratives shift to alt-L1s or when L2 fragmentation eats into mainnet fee capture.
fee-revenue regime risk - NVDAon15%Core anchor
NVIDIA is the single largest contributor to risk-adjusted returns in the equity universe over the 2-year backtest window. Designs the GPUs that train every frontier model.
Performs in AI-capex-up regimes. Sensitive to hyperscaler demand-softening signals and to China-export-control news.
valuation extensionChina export-control exposure - SPYon15%Core anchor
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is the largest US equity ETF and the canonical broad-market index.
Performs in broad-equity-up regimes. Sensitive to sector concentration in Mag 7 names that drives a non-trivial share of the index.

What the numbers say
Simulated on historical constituent prices. A Sharpe is only published once the measured window clears 90 days, and drawdowns keep their sign.
Every figure above is simulated on historical constituent prices for a basket that has not traded. It describes how the rules would have behaved, not how they will behave. OBAL6 is part of a public preview.
Max expected loss over the horizon · 95% confidence · historical distribution. There is a 5% chance the actual loss is larger.
| Window | Return | Sharpe | vs BTC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full window | +246.1% | 1.19 | +0.84 |
| 1 year | +21.7% | 1.14 | +1.98 |
| 6 months | +0.8% | 0.09 | +0.77 |
| 3 months | +9.6% | Not graded | · |
Returns are simulated over each window. A Sharpe is published only once that window clears 90 days, so the shorter rows read Not graded and carry no comparison with bitcoin. Short windows flatter and punish at random; read the full window first and treat the rest as texture.
What could go wrong
Priced off this basket's own weights rather than off a generic disclaimer, so every figure below can be checked against the table above.
Drawdowns of 30 to 50% are within historical range during cycle bottoms, tracking the broader crypto market. Family-standard caps and rebalancing rules apply.
- Short price historyHigh
NVDAon, AAPLon, GLDon and 1 more have under a year of usable history. Backtest metrics carry wider error bars.
- Routing dependenceMedium
Routes through Dinari (stocks) and Backed Finance (ETFs). Settles on the EVM rail. KYC at the OLTA layer, not available in the US today.
| Scenario | Loss on net asset value |
|---|---|
| BTC loses half its valueLargest holding, 20.0% of the basket | −10.0%Mechanical |
| The three largest holdings fall 30%BTC, GLDon, AAPLon · 55.0% of the basket together | −16.5%Mechanical |
| The deepest simulated fall repeatsDeepest peak to trough in the measured window | −24.4%Recorded |
| A bad month, one in twenty95% historical value at risk over 30 days | −11.6%Measured |
The mechanical rows hold every other holding still, which is the optimistic case. This basket measured −0.07 correlation to bitcoin over its window, which is loose enough that the holdings can move apart. Even so, a shock rarely lands on one name alone. Read the figures as a floor on the damage, never a ceiling.

The desk carries the live net asset value, the chart and the order panel. Funds in this public preview are simulated, so an order here moves a simulated balance and settles nothing. The EVM settlement rail opens with mainnet in the first half of 2027.
