Author: Kevin The Vault ecosystem on the Hyperliquid platform provides investors with a unique window into and participation in on-chain derivatives strategies executed by professional managers. This article provides a systematic quantitative analysis and strategy analysis of the top performing vaults within this ecosystem. Evaluation Framework and Data Methodology To conduct an objective and multi-dimensional comparison, we selected five representative vaults on Hyperliquid that rank among the top in terms of management scale and performance. They are: AceVault, Growi HF, Systemic Strategies, Amber Ridge, and MC Recovery Fund. Our evaluation framework will focus on the following core indicators to build a complete profile of each vault strategy: Performance Indicators: Total profit during the period (PNL), number of profitable trades, total number of trades, win rate, and profit and loss factor. Transaction efficiency indicators: Average single profit and loss, average single profit, average single loss. Risk Management Indicators: Maximum drawdown, standard deviation of single profit and loss, and profit and loss volatility ratio (i.e. average profit and loss / standard deviation). Strategic attribution metrics: The profit and loss contribution of each currency, and the long and short position preferences of specific currencies. For data acquisition, we extracted the longest available historical trading data for each vault stored on Hyperliquid. It's important to note that due to the platform's data storage limitations, the historical data period for high-frequency trading (HFT) vaults is relatively short, with the analysis window available ranging from three days to two months. However, for strategies with lower trading frequency, we can observe longer historical performance. AceVault Hyper01 Analysis data period: October 16, 2025 - October 20, 2025 1.1 Strategy Overview and Market Position AceVault Hyper01 is not only one of the largest strategy vaults in the Hyperliquid ecosystem by assets under management (TVL), but its performance is also remarkable. As of October 20, 2025, the vault's TVL reached $14.33 million. Since its inception in August 2025, the strategy has generated $1.29 million in profits, with an annualized rate of return (APR) of 127% over the past month, demonstrating strong and sustainable alpha generation capabilities. 1.2 Trading Behavior and Performance Quantification During the four-day analysis period we selected, the vault recorded a total of 19,338 closing records, providing us with a high-precision sample for deconstructing its strategy. Core performance indicators: Total PNL: +$103,110.82 Win Rate: 28% Profit Factor: 3.71 Profit and loss structure analysis: Average profit and loss per trade (Avg. PNL): +$5.33 Average single profit (Avg. Win): +$26.00 Average loss per trade (Avg. Loss): $2.70 Risk Indicators: Max Drawdown: $791.20 Standard Deviation of PNL (StdDev of PNL): 26.84 Profit and loss volatility ratio (Avg. PNL / StdDev): 0.199 1.3 Strategy Profiling and Risk Attribution Strategy Profile: High-Frequency, Asymmetric, Systematic Short AceVault's trading frequency ranks among the highest among all vaults, making it an extremely high-frequency trading (HFT) strategy. Its win rate is only 28%, while its profit/loss factor is as high as 3.71. This exhibits the typical characteristics of a trend-following or momentum strategy: the strategy does not rely on a high win rate, but rather on a small number of highly profitable trades (average profit of $26.00) to fully cover large but tightly controlled losses (average loss of $2.70). This highly asymmetric profit and loss structure is the core of its profit model. Profit Attribution: A Total Victory for Altcoin Bears The strategy trades a wide range of assets (covering 77 assets), yet its long and short positions demonstrate remarkable consistency and discipline: Long position operation: only executed for the three mainstream assets of BTC, ETH and HYPE. Short Operations: Execute only short operations on all other 74 altcoins. During this analysis period, the strategy's profit sources are extremely clear: Short position: Cumulative profit +$137,804 Long positions: Cumulative loss $33,726 This shows that AceVault's entire net profit came from its systematic shorting of 74 altcoins. The largest contributor to profit came from its short position in $FXS (+$34,579), while losses were concentrated in its long position in $HYPE (-$16,100). Risk Management: Ultimate Loss Control This strategy demonstrates textbook risk management. With a TVL of $14.33 million and a trading frequency of nearly 20,000, its maximum drawdown over four days was strictly controlled to $791.20, an impressive figure. This is highly consistent with the average single-trade loss of -$2.70, demonstrating the strategy's systematic and extremely strict built-in stop-loss mechanism. 1.4 Summary AceVault Hyper01 is a highly systematic, logically executed, and rigorously executed high-frequency strategy. Its core model involves taking long positions in a basket of mainstream assets (perhaps as a beta hedge or for long-term holdings) while systematically executing high-frequency short positions in the broader altcoin market. During the analyzed market cycle, the strategy's excess returns were entirely due to its precise capture of altcoin declines. Its top-tier risk control system ensured that even when executing low-probability strategies, losses were strictly limited to a manageable small range, resulting in healthy and strong overall profitability. Summarize Through in-depth quantitative analysis of Hyperliquid’s five top vaults (AceVault, Growi HF, Systemic Strategies, Amber Ridge, and MC Recovery Fund), we were able to penetrate the surface of high APRs and total returns and gain insight into the core of their strategies—not all high returns are created equal. Our analysis revealed several key findings: 1. Risk control, not win rate, is the cornerstone of top strategies: Contrary to conventional wisdom, the most successful vaults in this analysis do not rely on high win rates (AceVault 28%, Growi HF 38%, MC Recovery 48%). Instead, their success stems from a common, rigorously executed logic: asymmetric profit and loss structures. 2. A prime example of "asymmetric victory": MC Recovery Fund exemplifies this model. Its impressive 43.1 win/loss factor is the product of near-perfect risk management: the average loss per trade is only $18, while the average profit is a whopping $862. The same holds true for Growi HF (win/loss factor of 10.76). This demonstrates that their profit model isn't based on "a high number of wins," but rather on "suffering minimal losses while capturing significant returns on gains." 3. Maximum drawdown is a "stress test" for strategies: Comparing the "Maximum Drawdown" and "Drawdown Percentage" columns in the chart clearly delineates the robustness of strategies. MC Recovery Fund (drawdown $3,922) and AceVault (drawdown $791) demonstrate textbook-level risk control, with their historical maximum drawdowns being almost negligible. In contrast, Amber Ridge's drawdown reached $340,000, representing 87% of its total profit, meaning investors experienced extreme volatility, with profits practically wiped out. Systemic Strategies' recent $128,000 drawdown also exposed the fragility of its model. 4. Sources of Alpha Diverse: Successful strategies vary. AceVault systematically shorts altcoins through high-frequency trading; Growi HF is an aggressive long-hunter, capturing trends under strict risk management; and MC Recovery Fund demonstrates a sophisticated long-short balance, creating an "all-weather" strategy. This demonstrates the depth of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, allowing for the coexistence of different types of alpha strategies. For investors, evaluating a vault requires more than just looking at the surface APR. The true value of a strategy lies in its risk management capabilities, as revealed by its profit and loss factor and maximum drawdown. In the high-volatility, high-leverage arena of Hyperliquid, an asymmetric profit and loss structure is the key to achieving long-term profitability, and rigorous risk control is the only path to victory.Author: Kevin The Vault ecosystem on the Hyperliquid platform provides investors with a unique window into and participation in on-chain derivatives strategies executed by professional managers.

The Vault ecosystem on the Hyperliquid platform provides investors with a unique window into and participation in on-chain derivatives strategies executed by professional managers. This article provides a systematic quantitative analysis and strategy analysis of the top performing vaults within this ecosystem.

Evaluation Framework and Data Methodology

To conduct an objective and multi-dimensional comparison, we selected five representative vaults on Hyperliquid that rank among the top in terms of management scale and performance. They are: AceVault, Growi HF, Systemic Strategies, Amber Ridge, and MC Recovery Fund.

Our evaluation framework will focus on the following core indicators to build a complete profile of each vault strategy:

Performance Indicators:

Total profit during the period (PNL), number of profitable trades, total number of trades, win rate, and profit and loss factor.

Transaction efficiency indicators:

Average single profit and loss, average single profit, average single loss.

Risk Management Indicators:

Maximum drawdown, standard deviation of single profit and loss, and profit and loss volatility ratio (i.e. average profit and loss / standard deviation).

Strategic attribution metrics:

The profit and loss contribution of each currency, and the long and short position preferences of specific currencies.

For data acquisition, we extracted the longest available historical trading data for each vault stored on Hyperliquid. It's important to note that due to the platform's data storage limitations, the historical data period for high-frequency trading (HFT) vaults is relatively short, with the analysis window available ranging from three days to two months. However, for strategies with lower trading frequency, we can observe longer historical performance.

AceVault Hyper01

Analysis data period: October 16, 2025 - October 20, 2025

1.1 Strategy Overview and Market Position

AceVault Hyper01 is not only one of the largest strategy vaults in the Hyperliquid ecosystem by assets under management (TVL), but its performance is also remarkable. As of October 20, 2025, the vault's TVL reached $14.33 million. Since its inception in August 2025, the strategy has generated $1.29 million in profits, with an annualized rate of return (APR) of 127% over the past month, demonstrating strong and sustainable alpha generation capabilities.

1.2 Trading Behavior and Performance Quantification

During the four-day analysis period we selected, the vault recorded a total of 19,338 closing records, providing us with a high-precision sample for deconstructing its strategy.

Core performance indicators:

Total PNL: +$103,110.82

Win Rate: 28%

Profit Factor: 3.71

Profit and loss structure analysis:

Average profit and loss per trade (Avg. PNL): +$5.33

Average single profit (Avg. Win): +$26.00

Average loss per trade (Avg. Loss): $2.70

Risk Indicators:

Max Drawdown: $791.20

Standard Deviation of PNL (StdDev of PNL): 26.84

Profit and loss volatility ratio (Avg. PNL / StdDev): 0.199

1.3 Strategy Profiling and Risk Attribution

Strategy Profile: High-Frequency, Asymmetric, Systematic Short

AceVault's trading frequency ranks among the highest among all vaults, making it an extremely high-frequency trading (HFT) strategy. Its win rate is only 28%, while its profit/loss factor is as high as 3.71. This exhibits the typical characteristics of a trend-following or momentum strategy: the strategy does not rely on a high win rate, but rather on a small number of highly profitable trades (average profit of $26.00) to fully cover large but tightly controlled losses (average loss of $2.70).

This highly asymmetric profit and loss structure is the core of its profit model.

Profit Attribution: A Total Victory for Altcoin Bears

The strategy trades a wide range of assets (covering 77 assets), yet its long and short positions demonstrate remarkable consistency and discipline:

Long position operation: only executed for the three mainstream assets of BTC, ETH and HYPE.

Short Operations: Execute only short operations on all other 74 altcoins.

During this analysis period, the strategy's profit sources are extremely clear:

Short position: Cumulative profit +$137,804

Long positions: Cumulative loss $33,726

This shows that AceVault's entire net profit came from its systematic shorting of 74 altcoins. The largest contributor to profit came from its short position in $FXS (+$34,579), while losses were concentrated in its long position in $HYPE (-$16,100).

Risk Management: Ultimate Loss Control

This strategy demonstrates textbook risk management. With a TVL of $14.33 million and a trading frequency of nearly 20,000, its maximum drawdown over four days was strictly controlled to $791.20, an impressive figure. This is highly consistent with the average single-trade loss of -$2.70, demonstrating the strategy's systematic and extremely strict built-in stop-loss mechanism.

1.4 Summary

AceVault Hyper01 is a highly systematic, logically executed, and rigorously executed high-frequency strategy. Its core model involves taking long positions in a basket of mainstream assets (perhaps as a beta hedge or for long-term holdings) while systematically executing high-frequency short positions in the broader altcoin market.

During the analyzed market cycle, the strategy's excess returns were entirely due to its precise capture of altcoin declines. Its top-tier risk control system ensured that even when executing low-probability strategies, losses were strictly limited to a manageable small range, resulting in healthy and strong overall profitability.

US Dollar Index (DXY) hovers near multi-week low ahead of US PCE data

The post US Dollar Index (DXY) hovers near multi-week low ahead of US PCE data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback against a basket of currencies, struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from its lowest level since late October and trades with a mild negative bias during the Asian session on Friday. The index is currently placed around the 99.00 mark, down less than 0.10% for the day, as traders now await the crucial US inflation data before placing fresh directional bets. The September US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index will be published later today and will be scrutinized for more cues about the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) future rate-cut path. This, in turn, will play a key role in determining the next leg of a directional move for the Greenback. In the meantime, dovish US Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations overshadow Thursday’s upbeat US labor market reports and continue to act as a headwind for the buck. Recent comments from several Fed officials suggested that another interest rate cut in December is all but certain. The CME Group’s FedWatch Tool indicates an over 85% probability of a move next week. Furthermore, reports suggest that White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is seen as the frontrunner to become the next Fed Chair and is expected to enact US President Donald Trump’s calls for lower rates, which, in turn, favors the USD bears. Nevertheless, the DXY remains on track to register losses for the second straight week, and the fundamental backdrop suggests that the path of least resistance for the index remains to the downside. Hence, any attempted recovery is more likely to get sold into and remain limited.

SSP Stock Surges 11% On FY25 Earnings And European Rail Review

SSP Stock Surges 11% On FY25 Earnings And European Rail Review

The post SSP Stock Surges 11% On FY25 Earnings And European Rail Review appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SSP Group stock rebounded strongly today. (Photo Illustration by Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Shares in travel food retailer SSP Group rose sharply today after the company posted solid FY25 results, highlighting good growth in two of its four regional divisions, and a decision to review its under‑performing Continental European rail business. The food and beverage (F&B) company’s stock closed 11.3% up in London on the back of a revenue rise of 7.8% (at constant currency) to £3.6 billion ($4.8 billion) in the 12 months to September. Operating profit jumped by 12.7% to £223 million ($298 million). Under statutory IFRS reporting, however, operating profit fell 58% to £86 million, which SSP said in a statement “reflected £183 million of non‑underlying expenses and impairment charges.” The decision to review its rail business in Continental Europe—the biggest of the F&B giant’s four divisions by revenue at £1,205 million ($1,607 million)—was welcomed by the market, given its weak performance of 2% like-for-like (LFL) growth. A carrot was also dangled— a reward to shareholders arising from the July IPO of SSP’s Indian joint venture Travel Food Services (TFS) with K Hospitality, India’s largest privately held F&B company. SSP Group CEO Patrick Coveney said in a statement: “We acknowledge there is more to do to strengthen our operational performance, most notably in Continental Europe, where we have now reset our team, model, and balance sheet, and have a range of initiatives underway. In addition, we are launching a wide-ranging review of our rail business in Continental Europe. We are also considering options to realise value for our shareholders in line with the delivery of the TFS free float requirement.” SSP currently retains a 50.01% stake in TFS and said: “We believe that India’s market potential, combined with TFS’s attractive…

What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures

What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures

The post What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In today’s “Crypto for Advisors” newsletter, Gregory Mall from Lionsoul Global breaks down crypto yield, highlighting its maturity, along with its role in a portfolio. We look at why yield may ultimately become crypto’s most durable bridge to mainstream portfolios. Then, in “Ask an Expert,” Kevin Tam highlights key investments from the recent 13F filings, including the news that combined United Arab Emirates sovereign exposure hit $1.08 billion, making them the fourth-largest global holder. Yield in Digital Assets: What Advisors Should Know as the Market Matures For most of its history, crypto has been defined by directional bets: buy, hold, and hope the next cycle delivers. But a quieter transformation has been unfolding beneath the surface. As the digital asset ecosystem has matured, one of its most important and misunderstood developments has been the emergence of yield: systematic, programmatic, and increasingly institutional. The story begins with infrastructure. Bitcoin introduced self-custody and scarcity; Ethereum extended that foundation with smart contracts, turning blockchains into programmable platforms capable of running financial services. Over the past five years, this architecture has given rise to a parallel, transparent credit and trading ecosystem known as decentralized finance (DeFi). While still niche relative to traditional markets, DeFi has grown from under $1 million of total value locked in 2018 to well over $100 billion at peak (DefiLlama). Even after the 2022 downturn, activity has rebounded sharply. For advisors, this expansion matters because it has unlocked something crypto rarely offered in its early years: cash-flow-based returns, not reliant on speculation. But the complexity behind those yields and the risks beneath the surface require careful navigation. Where Crypto Yield Comes From Yield in digital assets does not come from a single source but from three broad categories of market activity. 1. Trading and liquidity provision Automated market makers (AMMs)…
