Episode 82 / Crypto Hedge Fund Sees -34.49% Drop – What’s Next?

13 March 2025 | Weekly updates | 39 seen

As of March 13, 2025, the Terramatris crypto hedge fund’s value has sharply declined to $5,120, representing an enormous drop of -34.47% from last week. This decline follows a massive selloff in the crypto markets, pushing Ethereum below $2,000 and amplifying market-wide panic. Additionally, we repaid a $950 investment that we had received just last week, further impacting our capital reserves.

The past week has been one of the most turbulent in recent months. Speculation-driven panic selling and macroeconomic instability have fueled a severe downturn in crypto prices. Bitcoin and Ethereum both plunged significantly, with Ethereum’s break below the $2,000 level exacerbating losses for many leveraged traders. Sentiment remains highly fragile as traders assess the…

Episode 81 / Portfolio Jumps to $7.8K After Strategic Restructuring

6 March 2025 | Weekly updates | 42 seen

As of March 6, 2025, the fund’s value has surged to $7,814.78, reflecting a 66.17% week-over-week growth ( +$3,111.80). This marks a new all-time high, surpassing all previous NAV records. The gain follows a strategic restructuring and capital injection aimed at preparing the fund for increasingly volatile conditions.

This week’s performance was driven not just by market momentum but by a deliberate consolidation into a single unified portfolio, designed to improve capital efficiency and resilience. To support this shift, $4,532 in new funds were added—borrowed capital that will be repaid over the next 10 to 12 months.

While this introduces short-term leverage, it reflects a calculated move to strengthen the fund's position ahead of expected market turbulence. The…
