I assembled a small basket of four bStocks instead of buying a single ETF for the technology sector.
The idea is simple. An ETF gives you diversification right away, but you don’t choose the weight of each company, you pay a management commission, and you depend on the fund’s rebalancing. With bStocks, you can build a similar structure yourself—for example using AAPLB, NVDAB, AMDB, and MSFTB—and decide for yourself how much of each token to hold.
The difference isn’t noticeable immediately, but when one of the companies suddenly drops. In an ETF, it just slightly drags down the overall result. In your own basket, you can see exactly which position is pulling the rest down, and you can adjust the weight manually rather than waiting for the next index review.
There’s also a downside. It means more decisions and more responsibility for each choice. In this sense, an ETF is a simpler option for those who don’t want to keep tracking the portfolio composition all the time.
Has anyone already tried building their own basket with bStocks instead of a ready-made ETF?
