We are a team that has been focusing on primary market investment for a long time, but as everyone understands, the primary market is quite challenging right now, and having idle funds is not a solution.
So, over the past few months, we started researching and running some quantitative arbitrage strategies in live trading.
✅ Risk-free/low-risk arbitrage (maximum drawdown of 1–2%)
✅ Currently, the annualized return can reach around 25% (hopefully higher)
✅ Live trading volume is at 3 million USD
However, we are not from this field, and we still lack understanding of issues like the “ceiling” of industry strategies, stable income paths, and challenges of scale.
Therefore, we would like to use this platform to ask everyone:
📌 What is the current annualized return of mainstream “risk-free arbitrage/low drawdown quantitative” strategies in the market? 📌 What structural opportunities/arbitrage spaces are worth paying attention to?
Feel free to comment, DM, even if it's just an information exchange; chatting with experts is definitely worthwhile!
Me: "Master, which temple do you come from?" Master: "Mercedes Temple" Me: "How did you get here?" Master: "The poor monk arrived riding a crane" Me: "What crane?" Master: "Maybach" Me: "Is wish-making effective?" Master: "S680" Me: "Can I drive over to visit you?" Master: "The temple is a place of purity; only Ferraris are parked inside."
The temple can now be likened to a web3 project that only crashes.
Do you see the resemblance?
After getting funding and listing on Binance, many start enjoying yacht parties.
They promised to build together, but shameless people enjoyed life first.
To all the cryptocurrency projects in the bull market that don’t increase in value.
A week after the liquidation, do you need a loan? Which banks are good? I don't want to miss the bull market.
The impact hasn't ended; my long position $CFX was liquidated due to being fully invested, with a purchase price around 0.18, and today it rose to 0.26.
I urgently need funds to operate during the bull market, so I contacted several banks. I estimate I need 200,000 RMB, approximately 28,000 USD.
Several banks offered me sufficient credit, with the current interest rate at 6-7%. This means if I borrow 200,000, I will need to repay 1,000 RMB in interest each month. I am located in a third-tier city in Guangdong, and I also have a mortgage and car loan. Adding up, a monthly cost of 1,000 is still acceptable.
🧠 I calculated that I plan to borrow 200,000, which will incur an annual interest of 12,000, equating to more than 1,000 each month, not counting the principal repayment. If I face another liquidation, it won’t just be “zero,” but “negative assets.”
I am conflicted:
🔹 Borrow money for a chance, to accelerate during the bull market?
🔹 Invest slowly with my salary, starting from zero to turn things around?
🔹 Or simply… give up on this round of the bull market?
💬 Are there any teachers who have taken loans to trade cryptocurrencies?
Has anyone successfully turned things around slowly with salary investments?
Or are you currently fully invested, just waiting for the rocket to launch?
It took me three whole days to recover, I've gone to zero with my short positions, how do I get back on track? It's been three days, and I'm still not back to normal.
In the middle of the bull market, I wiped myself out with shorts. Total loss of $140,000, equivalent to nearly 1 million RMB.
At the moment of liquidation, I was stunned, But now there's only one thought left: I still want to go long, I still want to get back in. ETH has already broken through 4000, But I don't even have the qualification to open a long position. I only have a salary of 10,000 a month, The remaining options are: 🔹 Loans? 🔹 Borrowing money? 🔹 Salary dollar-cost averaging, starting from zero?
I know the bull market isn't over yet, But I also know that this time I can't blindly go all in and gamble against the trend. I want to take it slow, but I'm also afraid that if I take too long, I'll really lose everything. Has anyone ever gone to zero and come back? I seek advice, I seek suggestions, even a single word will do.
Why do ancient giant whales frequently awaken after I get in the car? Why do institutional buyers stop buying after I go long? Why did Trump suddenly urge for interest rate cuts after I stopped loss? Did my position cause repeated inflation in the US economy?
Cat Eye Focus | Tencent Leads Investment in Chainbase, How Far Can Its Potential Go?
In the new era of blockchain with a thousand chains, Tencent rarely intervenes, leading the investment in Chainbase. This is not only a capital bet but also a clear vote for the future of modular blockchain. Chainbase (C) is considered the 'Internet of Rollups', positioned as the infrastructure provider for Rollups - a Layer 2 ecosystem that supports modularity, interoperability, and customization.
Chainbase has a strong financing background, completing a $15 million Series A financing on July 18, 2024, led by top institutions Tencent and Matrix Partners, with other investors including Hash Global and Folius Ventures.
Caldera (ERA) is a project focused on modular blockchain infrastructure, aiming to provide developers with highly customizable and high-performance Rollup solutions to help build scalable decentralized applications. The project's technical positioning gives it potential in the Layer2 and blockchain interoperability fields. In the current bull market, infrastructure projects have not undergone value recovery, many Layer2 and modular projects are stagnant, and ERA is endowed with high expectations.
$C Opportunities are given to steadfast believers, as well as to obedient apprentices. Given a chance, I hope I can regain a part of what I lost. Likewise, this is my mentor, for whom I cannot thank enough. Waiting for my takeoff 🛫 @BTC精灵 @币圈大太子 This is my tutor, the direction for doing more 🧭 @阿甘谈币 This is my guide, the most reliable master.

Focus on Cat Eye | PayFi Leader Huma, Are You Ready to Bottom Fish?
PayFi has always been one of the hottest sectors currently. In the Web3 fintech landscape, @Huma Finance 🟣 is considered the current leader in the PayFi (payment finance) sector due to its product and strong financing background. It integrates on-chain credit, installment payments, B2B payroll, and other real asset scenarios, bridging the payment networks of Web2 and Web3, and is rapidly building its own PayFi network moat to achieve profitability without relying on token prices. Currently, $HUMA the FDV is still at $423 million, but the circulating market value is only 1/6 of that, indicating that the valuation is still in the early stages. The price has fallen back to the range of $0.035 - $0.04, while the project's fundamentals remain solid, and the narrative has not faded.
