I tested weekly stablecoin portfolios using the same public pool universe but different sizing rules across four yield buckets: Blue-chip, Medium, High, and Super-high.
Conservative (55/30/15/0): $100,000 → $104,342 over 259 days, 6.17% annualized, 0.04% APY-path volatility.
Balanced (25/35/30/10): $106,903, 9.86% annualized, 0.07% volatility.
Yield-max (0/20/50/30 capped): $110,137, 14.58% annualized, 0.11% volatility.
Global benchmark: $102,945.
The useful lesson: stablecoin yield allocation is a position-sizing problem before it is an APY problem. Returns improved as the portfolio gave more room to High and capped Super-high pools.
That does not mean the high-yield version is safer. Position sizing manages concentration risk and lets you choose the tradeoff deliberately. It does not remove smart-contract, credit, bridge, depeg, liquidity, gas, slippage, or execution risk.
