A New Paradigm in Quantitative Fund Management: How to Activate Strategy Redundant Funds with Gate Residual Coin Treasure

According to Gate market data, as of February 2, 2026, Bitcoin price reached $77,752.5, down 1.00% in 24 hours, while Ethereum price was $2,303.15, a decline of 5.59%. Such market volatility raises higher demands on quantitative strategies, especially regarding how to handle strategy redundant funds and accumulated profits.

Capital Dilemma

Quantitative trading strategies often face a dilemma: to seize market opportunities, a certain amount of capital must be kept in reserve, but these reserves cannot generate returns while waiting. Traditional solutions either sacrifice liquidity or accept idle funds.

Market statistics show that, on average, 15%-30% of professional traders’ portfolios are idle or underperforming. For high-frequency and grid trading strategies, this issue is even more prominent.

Strategies need to retain funds to cope with market fluctuations, but most of the time, these funds are just sleeping in accounts. When extreme market conditions occur, these funds may not be adjusted in time, missing the optimal entry points.

Core Product

Gate’s YuBiBao (余币宝) is a flexible crypto asset management tool supporting over 800 digital assets, providing users with the possibility to convert idle assets into productive capital. Its core mechanism allows users to deposit cryptocurrencies into the platform, which then lends these assets to borrowers in need, with the generated interest returned as income to the depositors. This process is almost seamless for ordinary users.

In terms of income models, YuBiBao offers two options: current and fixed-term. The current account supports deposits and withdrawals at any time, with interest calculated hourly and automatically reinvested; the fixed-term products offer a set lock-in period, usually providing higher annualized yields.

Strategy Integration

Integrating YuBiBao into a quantitative trading system can offer a new approach to capital management. Specifically, it can play three key roles.

Strategy Redundant Funds Reservoir: Trading strategies often need to keep some funds on hand for sudden market moves or rebalancing. Depositing these funds into YuBiBao’s current account can maintain high liquidity while earning stable returns. Compared to traditional bank savings or simply holding cryptocurrencies, this significantly improves capital efficiency.

Realized Profit Reinvestment Pool: When a strategy realizes profits, part of the gains can be temporarily stored in YuBiBao, waiting for the next opportunity. This avoids profit withdrawal and allows continued growth.

Cross-Strategy Fund Allocation Hub: Through YuBiBao’s flexible deposit and withdrawal features, traders can efficiently allocate funds across different strategies, ensuring that idle funds during transfers also generate returns.

Market Practice

Taking the current market environment as an example, according to Gate market data, as of February 2, 2026, Bitcoin price was $77,752.5, with a market cap of $1.76T; Ethereum price was $2,303.15, with a market cap of $353.69B; GT price was $8.29.

Under these market conditions, depositing some crypto assets into YuBiBao can help build a more robust investment portfolio.

Bitcoin holders can deposit into YuBiBao to earn annualized returns, with Gate platform data indicating that BTC-related financial products can yield up to 6.06% annually. Ethereum holders can similarly choose corresponding financial products for returns. The platform token GT also has related financial products in YuBiBao. As of February 2, 2026, GT price was $8.29, and participating in GT financial products allows users to earn additional income while holding GT.

Gate YuBiBao also frequently launches limited-time high-yield activities. For example, the recently launched OWL 30-day fixed-term financial product offers an annualized yield of up to 200%. These activities provide additional income sources for quant traders skilled at capturing opportunities.

Operation Guide

Adding YuBiBao into the capital management process is quite straightforward. The basic steps can be divided into three parts.

Deposit: Users can access the YuBiBao interface via Gate’s finance page, select the desired currency and product type (current or fixed-term), input the amount, and confirm. The entire process requires no complex on-chain operations, saving high Gas fees.

Management and Allocation: Through Gate’s flash swap feature, users can convert between different tokens without fees. This makes fund allocation more efficient. When a strategy requires a specific token, funds from other tokens can be quickly converted into the needed assets and invested into the strategy.

Withdrawal: For current products, redemption is almost instant; for fixed-term products, early redemption allows immediate access to the principal, but the accumulated interest during the period will be forfeited. This flexibility ensures funds can respond quickly to strategy needs.

Data Observation

Long-term data shows that products like YuBiBao perform quite stably. Market data indicates that the stablecoin market with yields grew from about $15 billion to over $110 billion within roughly a year. Gate’s YuBiBao managed funds once exceeded $3 billion, demonstrating market recognition. In the current environment of increased volatility, such stable financial tools are even more valuable.

Bitcoin’s market cap has now reached $1.76T, accounting for 56.29% of the market dominance. In this market structure, earning stable returns through YuBiBao can offset some of the impacts caused by fluctuations in major assets. The platform token GT plays an important role in the Gate ecosystem. With the advancement of Gate’s “All in Web3” strategy, GT’s core role in platform functions and governance is expected to further strengthen.

According to Gate market data, as of February 2, 2026, Bitcoin’s market cap was $1.76T, and Ethereum experienced a 5.59% intraday fluctuation. When a quant trader checks their Gate YuBiBao account, they find that the strategy redundant funds stored there are steadily growing at an annualized rate of 6.06%. These funds are ready to be converted into any needed crypto assets and deployed into the next market opportunity. For professionals seeking stability and efficiency, YuBiBao is an intelligent solution for managing idle funds.
