What Most Crypto Funds Won't Tell You
The hard truths we learned from real market cycles
95% of Altcoins Underperform vs Bitcoin
Even quality altcoins like Ethereum, Polkadot, and Avalanche failed to match Bitcoin's returns from bear market lows to cycle peaks.
BTC: ~8x vs Alts: 3-6x avg
Prior Cycle Patterns Broke
Historical frameworks predicted "altseason." It never came. Markets evolve. Strategies must too.
2017-2021 ≠ 2022-2025
We Changed. They Didn't.
Our Prime Funds captured altcoin growth to 190% in Q4 2024 proof our selection worked. But the data revealed a harsh reality: diversification across 9 assets meant winners (SOL 31x, INJ 37x) were diluted by underperformers. We rotated to Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
Now 70-100% Bitcoin allocation
Evidence Driven, Not Narrative Driven
How we evolved our strategy based on real market data
Phase 1: Q4 2023-2024
Quality Altcoins outperform post-bear (based on 2017-2021 cycle)
Holdings:
SOL, ETH, DOT, AVAX, NEAR, LINK, INJ, AXS, ADA
Result:
Phase 2: 2024-Present
Systematic rotation to BTC-dominant
Trigger:
Funds peaked whilst BTC continued to ~8x
New Rule:
Alts must beat BTC over 12-24mo
Current Rules Engine
Default Position: 70-100% Bitcoin
Prime Funds I & II: The 9-Token Portfolio
Performance from cycle lows (2022-2023) through October 2024.
Cycle lows varied by asset: Bitcoin & Ethereum bottomed in Nov 2022, most alts in early 2023.

The Critical Insight
Injective gained 29x MORE than Bitcoin. Solana gained 23.4x MORE than Bitcoin. Every other asset LOST between 1.8x to 5.5x compared to simply holding Bitcoin.
Notably, Polkadot and Axie Infinity made new cycle lows in 2025, highlighting their extreme weakness. Their earlier fundamentals have faded and not progressed, causing them to lose relevance in a rapidly evolving market.
This data-driven lesson shaped our evolution: Bitcoin-first strategies for 2025. Not ideology - evidence. The market regime shifted, and so did we.
The Allocation Reality
Why holding winners wasn't enough to beat concentrated Bitcoin exposure
What Individual Assets Did
Everything else:
What Prime Funds Actually Did
Blended Portfolio Return
🤔 Why the gap?
Even though we held the two biggest winners (SOL 31x, INJ 37x), our diversified basket of 9 assets meant:
- 1Winners were diluted by allocation percentages - Each asset represented ~11% of the portfolio
- 2Underperformers dragged down overall returns - ETH 4.5x, DOT 2.7x, AXS 3x averaged out gains
- 3Portfolio averaged out to 190% vs Bitcoin's 8x
The brutal maths:
Diversification across 'quality' alts cost us 5.5x of potential Bitcoin gains.
9-Asset Portfolio
Even with SOL + INJ
100% Bitcoin
+176% more gains
Key Insight
This is why our new funds are 70-100% Bitcoin. Even picking the RIGHT alts (we had SOL and INJ) doesn't beat concentrated Bitcoin exposure when 7 out of 9 underperform.
Not ideology. Evidence. The market taught us, and we adapted.
Existing funds in strategic re-entry phase.
Our Track Record: Current Fund Performance
Prime Fund I
0x5160...4d4
Originally launched as a multi-sector altcoin portfolio in Q4 2023. Now operating Bitcoin-first strategy with USDT for profit preservation, following evidence-based pivot after altcoin underperformance became clear in 2024-2025.
Prime Fund II
0x05fc...e001
Originally launched in Q4 2023 with the same altcoin methodology as Fund I. Now operating Bitcoin-first with tactical USDT allocation, demonstrating adaptive risk management and evidence-driven strategy evolution.
The Lesson:
These funds validated our selection process (quality altcoins, rigorous methodology) but revealed the regime shift: even well-chosen alts failed to sustain performance vs Bitcoin's ~8x from Q4 2023 lows to October 2025 peak. This is WHY we evolved to Bitcoin-first for future products.
