Crypto funds<\/a>, on the other hand, on the other hand, returned only about 15.2% profits on average. While still a positive return, it lagged far behind what regular Bitcoin investors made by just buying and sitting tight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin outperforming crypto funds is relatively new, as crypto hedge funds are frequently able to outperform the BTC benchmark in the past significantly. But the crypto industry ended 2022 with more of a gloomy sentiment, as the market witnessed regulatory uncertainties and the collapse of FTX and Terra.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This seems to have caused crypto hedge funds to take a safer approach, leaving them with larger-than-normal cash positions. When crypto is hot, that cash doesn\u2019t appreciate like BTC would unless the funds\u2019 assets perform significantly better than Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report also noted that directional crypto funds generally outperformed non-directional crypto funds. Non-directional funds, like arbitrage, lending, and staking, do not depend on the market’s direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

21e6 Capital\u2019s latest report shows the general sentiment of the crypto market. Crypto funds had a rough first half of 2023, with many closing down early this year.

The price of Bitcoin seems to be struggling to break over $30,000, but the outlook for Bitcoin in the second half of 2023 still looks positive.
