Coinbase and MarketVector Index Shifts Weights Between Bitcoin and Gold Based on Volatility

Source: DojiDoji Data Terminal

Investors seeking to reduce market drawdowns can now use a benchmark that automatically shifts its weight between Bitcoin and Pax Gold. The Coinbase Store of Value Index, launched by MarketVector Indexes and Coinbase Asset Management, uses an inverse volatility model to determine asset allocation. The lower-volatility asset receives the higher allocation in the mix.

Inverse Volatility Weighting Reduces Bitcoin-Gold Blend Drawdowns

Investors using a dynamic allocation of Bitcoin and tokenized gold experienced materially smaller drawdowns than those using a 50/50 split between 2017 and 2025. This outcome is the basis for the Coinbase Store of Value Index (COINSOV), a benchmark launched by MarketVector Indexes and Coinbase Asset Management. The index employs a rules-based method that adjusts allocations between the two assets based on inverse volatility, favoring the asset with lower recent volatility. It rebalances quarterly to maintain a drawdown profile comparable to gold. "In a world of fiscal dominance, the future belongs to scarce assets that cannot be printed and are not an obligation of a government or private issuer," said Anthony Bassili, President at Coinbase Asset Management. MarketVector research indicates this model delivered stronger risk-adjusted returns than static Bitcoin-gold allocations and several widely tracked benchmarks during that period.

This dynamic structure replaces the fixed 50/50 split common in hybrid portfolios. The benchmark is rebalanced quarterly and calculated as a price-return index in US dollars. According to Coinbase executive Anthony Bassili, the tool responds to a climate of "fiscal dominance" where assets independent of governments gain institutional prominence.

US Government expands Strategic Bitcoin Reserve with $177,000 in seized assets

The US government has added 2.4 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $177,000, to its holdings. Two wallets associated with seized assets moved the funds to Coinbase Prime on Friday. The assets trace back to the Glenn Olivio case. This transfer follows a transfer of 0.04 Bitcoin, worth over $2,500, last month tied to the Miguel Villanueva seizure case. The movement of funds is part of an ongoing effort to expand the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve established in March 2025. The reserve has reached approximately 328,370 BTC through forfeiture-related holdings.

MarketVector research covering 2017 through 2025 indicates that this approach has delivered stronger risk-adjusted returns than static Bitcoin-gold allocations and several widely followed benchmarks. The strategy also produced materially smaller drawdowns than a simple 50/50 blend.
