How much crypto is enough?

How much crypto is enough? Morgan Stanley has a take.
The bank suggests 0–4% portfolio allocation depending on risk.
In its latest strategy report, Morgan Stanley laid out a cautious but telling stance on crypto exposure. For conservative investors — zero. For growth-focused ones — up to 4% of total portfolio. And they still call $BTC “digital gold”, even while warning about volatility, regulation, and tech risk.
Here’s their breakdown:
🔹 Risk Level 1 (Capital preservation): 0%
🔹 Risk Level 2 (Income): 0%
🔹 Risk Level 3 (Balanced growth): 2%
🔹 Risk Level 4 (Market growth): 3%
🔹 Risk Level 5 (Opportunistic growth): 4%
Honestly, that’s a very “Morgan Stanley” approach — conservative, but quietly validating. The message is clear: crypto is now part of the mainstream conversation. Even traditional giants see it as an essential satellite asset for diversification.
And yeah, allocating 1–5% feels fair — enough to benefit from upside, small enough to sleep peacefully at night. Parce que la paix mentale, ça compte aussi. 😌
