- Bybit said its Private Wealth Management strategies delivered steady returns in March despite a broader phase of crypto market consolidation.
- The firm reported a 25.41% APR for its top-performing fund, with average APRs of 12.56% for USDT strategies and 6.80% for BTC strategies.
Bybit says its private wealth platform held up well in March, a month when crypto stopped sprinting and started catching its breath.
In its latest Private Wealth Management newsletter, released Monday, the exchange described the market as entering a phase of “healthy consolidation” after earlier gains.
Inflation remained stubborn, the Federal Reserve kept signaling higher-for-longer rates, and hopes for near-term cuts slipped further out. That put short-term pressure on risk assets, even as geopolitical tension kept the case for borderless digital assets very much alive.
Stablecoin strategies outperformed as the market cooled
Against that backdrop, Bybit reported relatively steady results across its PWM strategies. Its top-performing fund generated a 25.41% annual percentage rate during the period. Across the broader lineup, USDT-based strategies averaged 12.56% APR, while BTC-based strategies averaged 6.80% APR over 30 days.
The firm also broke out returns across longer periods. Over 60 days, BTC strategies delivered 5.14% APR, compared with 14.02% for USDT strategies. On an overall basis, Bybit said APR figures stood at 5.93% for BTC strategies and 13.40% for USDT strategies.
To make those comparisons cleaner, Bybit aligned fund assets as of Feb. 26, 2026, and calculated net asset values using the Time-Weighted Return method. It also benchmarked performance against funding arbitrage strategies.
Macro pressure is reshaping where crypto capital goes
Bybit’s market read was fairly clear. Bitcoin continues to dominate, holding around 60% market share, supported mainly by institutional inflows, while smaller altcoins remain under pressure from thinner liquidity, token unlocks and venture distributions.
The newsletter also pointed to capital rotating into real-world asset tokenization and treasury-backed products, where elevated rates make steadier yield harder to ignore. Tighter scrutiny around stablecoins has also helped cool broader speculative activity.
For Bybit’s wealth clients, that leaves a market where broad risk-taking has become less forgiving. The better results, at least for now, seem to be coming from more defensive structures, especially stablecoin-based strategies that can still generate yield without depending on a full market breakout.
