Supporting this viewpoint, Philippe Meyer from BBVA, during a panel at the Web3 Corporate Innovation Day, said that the firm had observed that introducing a small portion of digital assets like Bitcoin or Ether is “greatly improving the performance” of investment portfolios.“So if you add something like 3% to 5% of your assets under management in crypto it’s really making all the difference.”
