ZX Squared Capital Touts 229% Cumulative Return, Doubling Bitcoin’s Gain

Crypto hedge fund ZX Squared Capital has posted a 229.18% cumulative return since its 2021 founding, against 136.94% for bitcoin over the same period, co-founder and CIO CK Zheng said, an average annualized return of about 30%. The fund holds bitcoin spot, hedges with options, keeps zero leverage and uses Swiss custodian Copper, cutting bitcoin’s 55%-70% volatility to roughly 37% and its 2022 drawdown to about 35% versus bitcoin’s 65%.

AI take

The notable claim here is not the headline return but the risk profile: roughly half bitcoin's volatility and drawdown, achieved with spot holdings, options hedges and no leverage. That combination matters because it tests whether outsized crypto beta can be captured without the leverage that typically drives blowups in this sector. The dependence on a single custodian and on options-based hedging is the structural exposure worth tracking, along with whether the reduced-volatility approach holds through a full cycle.
