According to the latest "December 2025 Private Wealth Management Monthly Report" released by Gate, the cryptocurrency market ended 2025 with fluctuations, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum failing to maintain key price levels from the beginning of the year. The market continued its weak trend in December, with BTC and ETH dropping by 3.06% and 0.67% respectively, influenced by multiple factors such as ETF capital outflows and insufficient holiday liquidity. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw an outflow of $733 million, leading to cautious market sentiment.In this complex market environment, Gate's private wealth quantitative fund strategy demonstrated robust risk control and return capabilities. In 2025, several core quantitative products achieved a 100% win rate, with Star Core Intelligent Investment (USDT) leading the portfolio with an annualized return of 11.0% and a Sharpe ratio of 4.3, reflecting excellent risk-return performance. The USDT strategy had a return of 1.6% in December, achieving a total return of 7.5% for the year, with an overall drawdown of nearly 0%, showcasing stable defensive capabilities in a volatile market.Looking ahead, the economic fundamentals remain resilient in the short term, with low market expectations for interest rate cuts in January, and policy path divergences may further intensify. In the medium to long term, the ongoing global coordination and legislative processes for cryptocurrency regulation are laying the institutional foundation for integrating digital assets into the mainstream financial system. As institutional participation increases, quantitative and risk control capabilities will become core competitive advantages in private wealth management allocations.

According to market news, Standard Chartered Bank predicts in a research report that Bitcoin's underperformance will give Ethereum the opportunity to surpass Bitcoin and reach $40,000 by 2030.Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated, "2026 will be the year of Ethereum, just like 2021. The improved outlook for Ethereum relative to Bitcoin means that the price ratio between these two assets could return to the highs of 2021."The bank noted that investments made through ETFs and digital asset vaults have a smaller impact on Ethereum's price performance compared to Bitcoin. Nevertheless, despite a general weakening of fund flows into cryptocurrency ETFs, their positive impact on Ethereum currently outweighs that on Bitcoin. Additionally, Ethereum developers are working to increase the transaction throughput of the Ethereum blockchain by ten times in the next two to three years, which, if successful, would provide a significant boost to Ethereum.Finally, the passage of the U.S. "Clarity Act" will also be beneficial for Ethereum and its vast on-chain ecosystem.
