Crypto’s core challenge isn’t volatility, it’s fragmentation.
To build a “diversified” portfolio today, investors must manage multiple wallets, bridge assets across chains, track dozens of tokens, and self-execute rebalancing. What should be investment strategy has become operational chaos. The result is inefficiency, not conviction.
Let’s dive in. 👇🧵
1/ Fragmentation in Crypto is the dispersal of liquidity and assets across multiple blockchains, exchanges, and DeFi protocols, leading to isolated markets and increased complexity.
Traditional markets solved fragmentation decades ago through indexing. With a single allocation into the S&P 500, investors captured broad, risk-adjusted exposure without micromanaging individual assets.
Crypto hasn't yet been able to replicate this simplicity. Instead, it still expects retail and even professionals to build exposure coin by coin, a model long proven inferior in global finance.
2/ Past attempts at crypto index tokens failed not because the vision was wrong, but because the architecture was.
Core issues included:
- On-chain rebalancing costs draining performance
- Shallow liquidity making entry and exit impractical
- No regulatory or methodological foundation
Without credible governance or efficiency, they couldn’t scale or serve as benchmarks.
3/ OG30 was engineered to address fragmentation and the structural failures that limited earlier crypto index products.
Rebalancing is efficient, liquidity is preserved and exposure to the top 30 assets is delivered through a single, interoperable token, OG30!
4/ Fragmentation was a defining feature of crypto’s early stage. It was a consequence of experimentation across chains, protocols, and narratives. But scale demands structure.
Just as traditional markets evolved from individual stock picking to index-based allocation, crypto now requires instruments that consolidate exposure without diluting innovation.
This shift is not about removing choice. It’s about removing unnecessary friction!
