Q2 2025 Executive Summary
The second quarter of 2025 was defined by macroeconomic shocks and a clear divergence between major assets and the broader altcoin sector. The quarter began with the 'Trump Trade War 2.0' announcement in April, triggering a market-wide crash. This was followed by a period of choppy consolidation in May, and a significant altcoin sell-off in June.
Amidst this challenging backdrop, the StratX Alpha strategy demonstrated exceptional resilience and adaptability. By successfully navigating the April crash, preserving capital in May, and capitalizing on market divergence in June, the strategy delivered a net quarterly return of . This performance significantly outpaced the Altcoin Index, which returned for the quarter.
This result underscores the robustness of our volume-based models, which are designed not only to capture upside but also to actively manage risk and protect capital during periods of high volatility and market stress. The ability to generate positive returns while a major market segment was in decline is a testament to the strategy's core strength.

This demonstrates a clear capacity to protect capital and create value in adverse market conditions.
