In 2025, my crypto investment portfolio gained over 150%, and the entire process was quite worth reviewing.

Since the beginning of the year, when Bitcoin hit a new all-time high, I decided to hold onto BTC and ETH firmly. I also participated in various activities of a leading exchange, early on acquiring several promising TGE projects, which yielded considerable returns. But the biggest turning point came during several market corrections mid-year — that’s when I truly learned what risk management means.

My current trading principle is simple: never risk more than 10% of total funds in a single position, set stop-loss and take-profit levels for every trade, firmly avoid chasing highs, and don’t sell in panic. It sounds dull, but this discipline has saved me multiple times.

The most crucial discovery is that holding high-quality assets like BNB long-term, combined with a dollar-cost averaging strategy, offers far greater stability than frequent short-term trading. This year, using this approach, I earned a lot just through DCA and compound interest. In contrast, friends who chase hot trends daily and trade frequently ended up getting cut repeatedly.

The platform’s low fees and diversified products really helped a lot. Lower trading costs naturally boosted overall returns. After experiencing the bull and bear markets this year, I have gained a clearer understanding of the crypto market: patience and discipline are far more important than luck. Let’s keep going in 2026 and wait together for the next cycle.
