You crypto portfolio shouldn't be over 20%. At least I won't. 70%-90% is just too much in such volatile market, and I am not sure if we can consider cryptos as a "safe haven"  I will prefer to invest at least 50% in precious metals which are far more safe than cryptos. 70% in cryptos you are taking the risk to the extreme as possible. But, of course, you know, usually bigger risk means bigger profits, but when it's about securing your investments it is something else.
Bitcoin is a safe haven alright for the inflation beaten fiat currencies, but I don't understand what hedging effect you see in precious metal. I think you can simply hold the rest percentage of your fund in USD to cushion drawdown in your crypto holdings.
