2025 is considered the "Waterloo" year for crypto hedge funds. According to the latest data, fund performance in this year hit a new low since the industry crisis in 2022.

Looking at the specific numbers, the situation is dire: directional strategy funds have already declined by 2.5% by November, while those focusing on fundamentals and altcoins fared even worse, with nearly 23% loss for the year. The entire market offers almost no profit opportunities.

The only bright spot is market-neutral strategies — these funds hedge risks and allocate assets precisely, managing to achieve a positive return of 14.4% in a difficult market. This also demonstrates a truth: the days of blindly chasing highs and lows are over; now, crypto investment tests true risk management capabilities.

Market-neutral strategies can actually turn positive? Looks like the retail investors need to learn how to hedge. --- Another year of losses, it's time to reflect on your operations. --- 23% decline... Altcoins are really done this time. I’ve always said not to buy recklessly. --- Hedge funds are also failing, indicating that this year's market is just bad. --- Market neutrality at 14.4%, now that's the level of a pro trader. --- Blindly chasing gains is dead; it seems survival depends on technical skills. --- A 2.5% drop is nothing, not as bad as 23%. --- Risk management? Most people probably don’t even understand this term. --- A Waterloo is no exaggeration; there’s really no profit to be made. --- Hedging and risk avoidance sound much more sophisticated than chasing price swings.

The neutral strategy is truly outstanding this time. While other funds are losing money, it still shows a positive return. How is the gap so big? A 23% decline... Altcoin funds are basically suicidal. Is there still anyone willing to chase? It seems most fund managers need to be re-trained. Hedging ability is really a dividing line. The era of blindly chasing gains is completely over. Now, it's all about risk control. A 2.5% decline may not seem like much, but it indicates that directional strategies no longer have an advantage. The entire 2025 is like a sieve, separating those who are truly capable from the slackers.

The 14.4% in market-neutral strategies really hit me; turns out you still need brains rather than gambling on luck. Altcoin strategies directly cut 23%? This is cleaning out retail investors. Directional funds can't hold up anymore... Looks like 2025 will indeed be a big test. Those who survive through hedging are the real winners; this time, the skill level is truly distinguished. Blindly chasing gains and losses is indeed to be damned; it's time to learn how others manage risk.

Market neutrality at 14.4%—this number is really holding strong, while everything else is crashing. --- Another year of "didn't buy when I should have, bought everything I shouldn't have." --- Basically, it's a collective beating for chasing the hot trends; hedging is the real way to go. --- 23% drop in altcoins? That takes a lot of luck to bottom out and survive. --- It seems that those who truly understand risk control are the ones who profit—ironic, huh? --- Why is 2025 so torturous? All kinds of funds are losing money. --- This is the performance of directional funds? I thought they could fall even more. --- So now it's time to learn how to hedge; the era of just going all-in is over. --- A bunch of fund managers might have been awakened by this data. --- 14.4% managed to turn things around from the sea of blood—how much effort does that take?
