Gate Private Wealth Management Monthly Report—December 2025

Download the Full Report (PDF)
The crypto market ended 2025 with negative returns, as BTC and ETH failed to hold their key year-start levels of $90,000 and $3,000, respectively. Within Gate’s private wealth quant funds, Stellar Core Smart-Invest (USDT) led with an 11.0% annualized return and a Sharpe ratio of 4.3, demonstrating strong risk-adjusted performance. Additionally, Quantum Leap (USDT), Interstellar Hedge (USDT), and Gravity Hedge (USDT) all achieved a 100% win rate for the year. The USDT strategy returned 1.6% in December and achieved a 7.5% full-year return, with overall drawdowns nearly at zero. In the short term, the probability of a Fed rate cut in January is low, and divergence over the pace of future cuts may further widen. In the medium to long term, deeper regulatory coordination and progress in crypto legislation could become a key institutional turning point for crypto assets entering the mainstream financial system.

Key Takeaways

  • Market Review: December saw a tug-of-war dominated by bears, with key support levels tested, ETF outflows, and low holiday liquidity. BTC and ETH fell 3.06% and 0.67%, respectively, while spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of $733 million. Overall, 2025 closed with negative returns, and BTC and ETH failed to maintain their year-start key levels.

  • Gate Private Wealth Performance: Quantum Leap (USDT), Interstellar Hedge (USDT), and Gravity Hedge (USDT) all achieved a 100% win rate. Stellar Core Smart-Invest (USDT) led with an 11.0% annualized return and a Sharpe ratio of 4.3. The USDT strategy returned 1.6% in December and achieved a 7.5% full-year return, with overall drawdowns nearly at zero.

  • Outlook: In the short term, with resilient economic fundamentals, the probability of a Fed rate cut in January is low, and policy divergence over future rate cuts may widen. In the medium to long term, deeper regulatory coordination and advancing crypto legislation could become a key institutional milestone for crypto assets entering the mainstream financial system.

Perpetual Contract Funding Rate Arbitrage Strategy in 2025

Perpetual contract funding rate arbitrage refers to the simultaneous execution of two transactions in the spot and perpetual contract markets, with the same underlying asset, opposite directions, equal quantities, and offsetting profits and losses. The goal is to profit from the funding rates in perpetual contract trading. As of 2025, this strategy has evolved significantly, with average funding rates stabilizing at 0.015% per 8-hour period for popular trading pairs, representing a 50% increase from 2024 levels. Cross-platform opportunities have emerged as a new arbitrage vector, offering additional 3-5% annualized returns. Advanced AI algorithms now optimize entry and exit points, reducing slippage by approximately 40% compared to manual execution.
