According to Gate’s latest December 2025 Private Wealth Management Monthly Report, the crypto market ended 2025 on a weak note, with Bitcoin and Ethereum failing to hold their year-start levels. December trading remained dominated by bearish pressure, as ETF outflows and thin holiday liquidity weighed on sentiment. BTC and ETH declined by 3.06% and 0.67%, respectively, while spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $733 million, reinforcing a cautious market backdrop.
Against this volatile environment, Gate Private Wealth Management’s quantitative strategies demonstrated strong resilience and disciplined risk control. Several core funds delivered a 100% win rate for the year, led by Stellar Core Smart-Invest (USDT), which achieved an 11.0% annualized return with a Sharpe ratio of 4.3 in 2025, highlighting superior risk-adjusted performance. The USDT strategy returned 1.6% in December and achieved a 7.5% full-year return, with overall drawdowns nearly at zero, underscoring its defensive strength in choppy markets.
Looking ahead, short-term macroeconomic conditions suggest a low probability of a January Fed rate cut, as economic fundamentals remain resilient. Meanwhile, policy divergence may continue to drive market volatility. Over the medium to long term, deeper regulatory coordination and advancing crypto legislation are laying the groundwork for digital assets to enter the mainstream financial system. As institutional participation grows, quantitative strategies and risk management are set to become core pillars of private wealth allocation.
