However, most gains occurred in the final quarter, fueled by improved sentiment and the election of crypto-friendly US president-elect Donald Trump, which propelled BTC to fresh highs. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Crypto hedge funds faced stiff competition from low-fee, BTC-focused ETFs, <\/strong>which offered investors a cost-effective alternative to high-fee fund strategies. BTC and memecoins dominated the market, leaving little room for other digital assets to compete, Reflexive Capital CIO David Kalk noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Hedge funds struggled with timing BTC\u2019s <\/strong><strong>performance<\/strong> due to their need to manage risk-sensitive drawdowns. \u201cIn the hedge fund world, drawdowns are quite sensitive and so you can\u2019t just always be fully exposed long,\u201d Tread.fi CEO David Jeong said to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Best performing strategies and leading funds: <\/strong>Directional and quantitative strategies led the way in 2024. The VisionTrack Quant Directional Index rose 53.7%, while Galaxy Digital\u2019s Alpha Liquid Fund gained 76.6%. ProChain Master Fund achieved a 70% return by focusing on large-cap tokens like Bitcoin, outperforming altcoin-centric funds. Fundamental research funds \u2014 which rely on research in tokens and blockchains \u2014 also performed well in general, as US-based Reflexive Capital posted 106% net returns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets rallied this morning<\/strong>, driven by Wall Street gains and South Korea\u2019s decision to keep rates unchanged. Hang Seng (Hong Kong) rose 0.9%, while Shanghai Composite and Japan\u2019s Nikkei both saw a 0.3% rise. <strong>Meanwhile, Wall Street futures inched slightly higher<\/strong>, after the best S&P
