On July 9, 2026, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Bybit, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange globally in terms of trading volume, has announced that its Private Wealth Management (PWM) BTC fund products have achieved an annualized return of approximately 4.9% over the last 60 days. Some individual funds have performed even better, with 30-day annualized returns soaring above 40%.
These BTC strategies, which are invested and settled in Bitcoin, provide an advanced solution for users managing substantial BTC holdings. Since its launch in September 2025, Bybit PWM now oversees assets exceeding $239 million across more than 160 portfolios. Earlier in June 2026, the exchange rolled out PWM 2.0, offering enhanced dashboard access for VIP2+ users and enabling customizable wealth solutions.
Why This Matters
The current market landscape has many BTC holders grappling with how to manage their investments during periods of volatility. Jerry Li, Bybit's Head of Earn and Wealth Management, emphasized, "BTC prices remain significantly lower than their previous highs recorded in the first half of 2026. The pressing question for many is not whether to liquidate BTC for short-term cash, but rather how to maintain exposure while ensuring their assets remain productive." Bybit's PWM funds and Earn products are designed with this in mind, allowing users to invest and settle in BTC while still generating yield.
- 60-day annualized return: ~4.9%
- 30-day returns: >40% for select funds
- Assets under management: Over $239 million
- Number of portfolios: More than 160
The PWM offering starts with a minimum investment of 10 BTC, aimed at larger holders. For those who prefer different entry points, some PWM funds can also be accessed through USDT, allowing a gradual conversion of earnings into BTC over time.
Exploring Diverse Yield Options
Beyond PWM, Bybit offers a variety of BTC yield products tailored to different types of investors:
- On-Chain Earn: Entry-level product for staking BTC while retaining asset exposure.
- PWM: Fund structures for larger holdings, offering both BTC and USDT options.
- Advanced Earn: Innovative structured products for experienced investors, including VIP-applied offers.
In all market conditions, Bybit reflects a strategy focused on balancing BTC accumulation and yield. Larger holders can take advantage of PWM’s fund methodologies, while smaller investors can access on-chain earnings through fBTC, and risk-tolerant users can delve into sophisticated products.
What to Watch Next
Investors should monitor upcoming developments from Bybit, particularly enhancements in PWM offerings and market responses to price fluctuations. Potential implications for the broader BTC landscape could also emerge as investors seek to adapt their strategies in changing conditions.
