2025 Year-End: The Path for Quantitative Funds to Break Through in the Turbulent Crypto Market

【Crypto Push】The last month of the 2025 crypto market still didn’t bring many surprises to investors. Bitcoin and Ethereum both failed to hold their key levels from the beginning of the year, with December declines of 3.06% and 0.67% respectively. ETF fund outflows continued, totaling $733 million in a single month. Coupled with already tight liquidity at year-end, the market remains cautious.

Interestingly, in such an environment, quantitative funds have found a way to survive. Based on annual data, a leading exchange’s quantitative product matrix achieved a rare 100% win rate—which is especially remarkable in a market under widespread pressure. The USDT strategy was the most eye-catching: an annual return of 7.5%, with December alone generating 1.6% profit. Even more impressive is the nearly zero drawdown. An annualized return of 11.0% combined with a Sharpe ratio of 4.3 makes this risk-return profile quite stable.

Looking ahead, the short-term economic fundamentals remain resilient. A rate cut in January is unlikely, and policy uncertainty may even increase. However, in the long term, global crypto regulation is gradually being streamlined, and legislative progress is underway, laying an institutional foundation for digital assets to enter mainstream finance. Institutional capital is accelerating its entry, which means quantitative capabilities and risk control will become increasingly attractive—this is the true core competitiveness of private wealth management.
