What is a DeFi aggregator?

A DeFi aggregator is a platform that routes your crypto swaps across hundreds of decentralised exchanges (DEXes) simultaneously to find the best rate and lowest slippage. Instead of trading on a single DEX like Uniswap, an aggregator like Steyble splits your trade across multiple pools and chains to maximise your output.

What is a crypto super app?

A crypto super app is a single non-custodial platform that combines every DeFi service — token swapping, staking, perpetuals trading, prediction markets, copy trading, cross-chain bridging, and crypto cards — in one interface. Steyble is a crypto super app, meaning you never need to switch between multiple DeFi applications.

Is Steyble self-custodial?

Yes. Steyble is entirely non-custodial and self-custodial. You hold your private keys at all times. Steyble provides the interface and smart contract routing, but never holds, controls, or has access to your assets. Every transaction requires your explicit wallet signature.

How do prediction markets work in crypto?

Crypto prediction markets let you buy or sell shares in the outcome of real-world events using on-chain smart contracts. If you buy a 'Yes' share at $0.35, you receive $1 if the event occurs (a $0.65 profit) or lose $0.35 if it does not. Markets cover crypto prices, elections, sports results, and macro events. Steyble's prediction markets are non-custodial — your funds remain in your wallet until settlement.

What are perpetual futures in crypto?

Perpetual futures (perps) are leveraged crypto trading contracts with no expiry date. Unlike traditional futures that expire monthly, perps let you hold long or short positions indefinitely. A periodic funding rate keeps the perp price aligned with spot. Steyble perpetuals run on decentralised smart contracts — you trade directly from your own wallet with full transparency into liquidation parameters.

How does copy trading work on Steyble?

Copy trading on Steyble automatically mirrors the on-chain trades of verified top-performing wallet strategies. You choose the wallets you want to copy, set your position sizing and risk limits, and Steyble replicates their trades in real time. Unlike centralised copy trading, Steyble is non-custodial — you never give up control of your funds.

What is the best way to earn passive income with crypto in 2026?

The best methods for passive crypto income in 2026 are: (1) liquid staking ETH or SOL at 3.5–8% APY, (2) lending stablecoins on lending protocols at 5–9% APY, (3) non-custodial copy trading to mirror proven wallet strategies, (4) providing liquidity to stablecoin pools at 3–6% APY, and (5) on-chain prediction markets for event-driven returns. Steyble provides access to all five methods in a single platform.

What is the best DEX aggregator in 2026?

The best DEX aggregators in 2026 route across 15+ blockchains and 100+ liquidity sources with MEV protection. Steyble's swap aggregator covers 250+ liquidity sources across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and more — consistently delivering better rates than going directly to any single DEX. For large swaps, using an aggregator saves 0.5–2% per transaction.

Crypto Asset Correlations: How to Build a Less Correlated Portfolio

Most crypto assets are highly correlated — they fall together. Here is how to build a portfolio with genuine diversification to reduce volatility.

Correlation measures how closely two assets move together. A correlation of 1.0 means they move perfectly in tandem; -1.0 means they move perfectly opposite; 0 means no relationship. Most altcoins have 0.7-0.9 correlation with Bitcoin — meaning they offer almost no diversification from a "pure Bitcoin" position and amplify losses in a bear market.

Crypto-to-Crypto Correlations

BTC/ETH: 0.75-0.85 typically — significant co-movement, especially in bear markets
BTC/SOL: 0.70-0.80 — SOL outperforms in bull markets and underperforms in bears
BTC/USDT or USDC: ~0 — stablecoins are not correlated to crypto price movements
BTC/gold: 0.10-0.30 — low correlation, gold serves different macro function
BTC/S&P 500: 0.30-0.60 — varies significantly by macro environment

Building a Less Correlated Crypto Portfolio

Base layer (50-60%): BTC — most liquid, least correlated with altcoins
DeFi yield (15-20%): USDC earning 5-8% via Steyble — near-zero correlation with crypto prices
ETH staked (15-20%): correlated with BTC but adds staking yield component
Small non-crypto allocation: gold ETF (5-10%) provides genuine negative correlation in crises

Why "Diversified" Crypto Portfolios Often Fail

A portfolio of BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, and 10 altcoins looks diversified but behaves like a single leveraged BTC position in a bear market. True portfolio diversification requires assets with fundamentally different return drivers: crypto, equities, bonds, real estate, and stablecoins/cash all serve different roles. Steyble's portfolio analytics shows your actual correlation exposure, helping you identify concentration risks before they matter.
