Bybit Private Wealth Management Reports February 2026 Performance Amid Market Volatility
Dubai, UAE, March 17th, 2026, Chainwire
Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released the latest Private Wealth Management (PWM) newsletter, providing an overview of fund performance and market trends following heightened volatility in the cryptocurrency market in February.
Digital asset markets experienced significant fluctuations during the month as hotter-than-expected inflation data dampened expectations for near-term interest rate cuts. The renewed “higher-for-longer” interest rate outlook added pressure across risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Despite these macroeconomic headwinds, capital inflows into spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds and growing institutional participation continue to support the long-term investment case for digital assets.
Against this backdrop, Bybit’s Private Wealth Management division reported positive results across several investment strategies. The division’s top-performing fund delivered an annual percentage rate (APR) of 15.43 percent during the reporting period.
Performance varied across strategy categories. USDT-based strategies generated an average APR of 13.88 percent, while BTC-based strategies recorded an average APR of 2.18 percent.
To ensure consistency in performance comparisons, fund assets were aligned as of Jan. 27, 2026. Net asset values were calculated using the time-weighted return methodology, a standard approach that measures investment performance independently of the timing of investor cash flows. Results were benchmarked against funding arbitrage performance.
The analysis also examined allocations by assets under management, return trends across investment strategies and the comparative performance of long-term and short-term approaches. BTC strategies recorded a 30-day APR of 2.18 percent and a 60-day APR of 2.43 percent, resulting in an overall APR of 4.34 percent. USDT strategies posted a 30-day APR of 13.88 percent and a 60-day APR of 9.52 percent, with an overall APR of 10.15 percent.
The newsletter also highlighted broader market developments. Following the February pullback, Bitcoin entered a volatile consolidation phase, with price discovery occurring in the $60,000 to $70,000 range. Institutional selling pressure has been met by dip-buying from retail investors and large holders, suggesting a shift toward a more mature market structure.
The report also pointed to increasing momentum around blockchain projects focused on artificial intelligence agents and decentralized computing infrastructure. Projects demonstrating real-world applications and measurable usage metrics showed relative resilience during the market downturn.
