Surpassing Alpha Returns: Gate Private Wealth Management Builds an Excess Return Engine through Primary Market and Ecosystem Incubation

Gate Private Wealth Management delivered an impressive performance in 2025 amidst market volatility: several of its core quantitative products achieved a 100% win rate. Among them, the outstanding “StarCore Intelligent Investment” strategy achieved an 11.0% annualized return with a Sharpe ratio of 4.3, demonstrating an excellent risk-return profile in complex market environments.

Limitations of Traditional Alpha and Gate Private Wealth Management’s Breakthrough

In traditional crypto investment frameworks, investors often chase “Alpha returns” by timing the market and selecting coins to outperform. However, as market structures undergo qualitative changes, the limitations of this approach become increasingly evident.

Currently, the crypto market is shifting from emotion-driven cyclical battles to a phase of structural differentiation led by compliant channels, long-term capital, and fundamental valuation. Grayscale, in its “2026 Digital Asset Outlook,” clearly states that the dominant market forces are shifting from retail cycles to institutional capital, and the so-called “four-year cycle” narrative is weakening. This means that traditional Alpha strategies relying solely on secondary market volatility are becoming more difficult and uncertain to execute.

The launch of Gate Private Wealth Management is a precise response to these profound market changes. It no longer limits itself to helping clients “fish” in the secondary market but aims to create an exclusive “fishing ground” ecosystem for clients. Centered on the core concepts of “private customization, security, and compliance,” this service offers ultra-high-net-worth clients private banking-level services supported by dedicated advisors and professional quantitative teams.

Penetrating the Primary Market: Locking in Value Before Token Public Offerings

The source of excess returns often lies outside the public markets. One of Gate Private Wealth Management’s core advantages is opening the door for clients to early investments in high-quality projects. This is mainly achieved through Gate’s carefully constructed, multi-layered primary market participation system, designed to enable clients to position themselves advantageously before tokens enter public trading. For example, through Gate Web3 Launchpad (now upgraded to an important component of the Gate DEX ecosystem), clients have the opportunity to participate in rigorously vetted on-chain project launches. This model places the entire fundraising process on-chain, ensuring transparency and fairness in subscription and distribution, fundamentally rebuilding investment trust. Recent launches like BOB exemplify this mechanism’s “verifiable liquidity” innovation.

Additionally, activities like Launchpool within the Gate ecosystem allow users to stake assets (such as GT or specific ecosystem tokens) to earn new project tokens, providing private wealth clients with another low-risk way to gain exposure to emerging assets.

Ecosystem Incubation Closed Loop: Full-Cycle Empowerment from Project Birth to Value Realization

If primary market participation is about “discovering value,” then deep ecosystem incubation is about “creating value.” Another key driver of excess returns for Gate Private Wealth Management comes from its full-cycle empowerment and deep integration within the entire innovation ecosystem.

Gate has built a robust “Public Chain + DEX + Launch Platform” integrated Web3 ecosystem.

• Gate Layer, as a high-performance Layer 2 network foundation, provides a low-cost, high-efficiency trading environment, serving as the basis for all applications within the ecosystem.
• Gate DEX (formerly Gate Web3), as the core of decentralized trading, offers professional-grade trading experiences from spot to derivatives.
• Gate Fun, as an on-chain innovation and token launch platform, continuously incubates and launches new projects through gamification and transparent, fair mechanisms.

Private wealth clients’ investments can deeply synergize with this thriving ecosystem. A promising early-stage project can complete a compliant, transparent initial issuance on Gate Fun, then gain deep liquidity support on Gate DEX, and enjoy the efficient, low-cost on-chain environment provided by Gate Layer. This seamless flow from “incubation” to “listing” to “trading” greatly enhances the success probability and efficiency of investment projects, enabling private wealth clients to capture the full lifecycle value of project growth more comprehensively.

Professional Allocation and Risk Control: Safeguarding Excess Returns in Uncertain Markets

Capturing excess returns is important, but protecting those returns is equally critical. Especially in the current market environment, with Bitcoin (BTC) daily volatility reaching 0.86% and Ethereum (ETH) at 1.71% (data as of January 27, 2026), effective risk control is the guarantee for long-term wealth appreciation.

Gate Private Wealth Management is equipped with top-tier compliance security systems and professional quantitative risk management capabilities. All client assets are protected by Gate’s global compliance framework and multiple security measures. In terms of investment strategies, dedicated advisors and quantitative teams tailor asset allocation plans based on clients’ financial goals and risk preferences.

The market practices of 2025 have proven the effectiveness of this system. Amid overall market turbulence, Gate Private Wealth Management’s quantitative fund strategies demonstrated stable risk control and returns, successfully navigating volatile cycles.

Market Outlook and Strategy Focus for 2026

Looking ahead to 2026, the crypto market is expected to continue its structural transformation. The ongoing inflow of institutional capital through compliant channels (such as spot ETFs) may drive asset prices upward in a more stable, gradual manner, rather than through the previous emotion-driven sharp fluctuations. This macro environment is favorable for Gate Private Wealth Management’s long-term allocation and deep value strategies.

Based on current market data and trends, the strategies may focus more on areas capable of generating sustained cash flow or with solid fundamental utility:

• Yield-bearing assets and staking economies: As investors increasingly seek yields, assets capable of providing stable staking returns (such as ETH) and their derivatives will become the ballast of portfolios. According to Gate market data, as of January 27, 2026, Ethereum (ETH) is priced at $2,927.05, with a market cap exceeding $351.54 billion.
• Platform ecosystem value capture: For example, GateToken (GT) functions as the “fuel” of the entire Gate ecosystem, with its value supported by payment of Gas fees, governance, incentives, and a deflationary model. GT is currently priced at $9.83, and its core functions as a payment medium and governance tool within the ecosystem tie its value closely to ecosystem development.
• Integration of real-world assets: Asset tokenization is expected to reach a critical inflection point in 2026, expanding from government bonds to equities like US stocks, opening new channels for value flow between traditional finance and crypto worlds, and serving as a new tool for high-net-worth clients to diversify globally.

When Bitcoin’s market cap reaches $1.76 trillion in early 2026, accounting for 56.49% of the entire crypto market, the narrative has long since moved beyond simple price movements. A Gate Private Wealth Management client may be shifting focus from short-term Bitcoin price fluctuations to an upcoming innovative project launch on Gate Fun, or analyzing rapidly growing on-chain application data on Gate Layer. Their portfolio is no longer just a few mainstream coins but a complex, sophisticated system integrating top quantitative strategies, scarce primary shares, high-growth ecosystem rights, and compliant yield-generating assets.
