Bybit’s Private Wealth Management delivered 20% returns amid a challenging 2025

High-net-worth (HNW) customers of Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, saw returns of some 20% over the course of 2025 despite the year’s challenging macroeconomic climate, according to the exchange’s Private Wealth Management (PWM) report.

Bybit’s top performing fund delivered returns of 20.3% APR driven by the exchange’s flagship high-yield USDT-based strategies, according to a press release. The results reflect a growing trend among high-net-worth investors seeking diversified, stable, and risk-managed returns over volatile directional bets, Bybit said.
