Where does RWA fit in an alt-heavy portfolio?

Most alt portfolios are beta-heavy by default.

Layer 1s. AI tokens. Infra plays. Maybe some DeFi.

Yield strategies often add more volatility rather than reduce it.

RWA-backed lending introduces exposure to off-chain credit. Different risk drivers. Less token reflexivity.

I’ve been evaluating 8lends recently. Structured RWA lending with fixed monthly payouts.

Not moon math. More income math.

Key considerations:

• Underwriting transparency
• Legal structure
• Asset visibility
• Default handling

If those hold, RWA can function as a stabilizing sleeve inside a volatile alt portfolio.

So for those advising on alt allocation:

Would you carve out a portion for structured yield, or stay fully growth-oriented?
