HIBT Trading in Bear Markets: Strategies to Survive
With crypto markets down 60% from their 2025 peak, traders are scrambling for ways to protect their HIBT holdings. Here’s how smart investors are navigating this downturn while positioning for the next bull run.
Why HIBT Behaves Differently in Bear Markets
Unlike major coins, HIBT often shows unique volatility patterns during downturns. According to Chainalysis 2025 data:
- HIBT’s drawdowns average 45% vs Bitcoin’s 60%
- Vietnamese traders account for 18% of HIBT volume (up from 12% in 2024)
3 Essential Strategies for HIBT Traders
1. The 30/70 Portfolio Split
Here’s the catch: successful traders keep 30% in stablecoins like USDT (đồng tiền ổn định) for quick opportunities while leaving 70% in HIBT for long-term holds.
2. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
Like buying groceries during sales, DCA for HIBT works best when markets are fearful. Set up automatic buys every Friday regardless of price.
3. Staking for Passive Income
With HIBT’s current 14% APY (lãi suất hàng năm), staking can offset some losses. The Ledger Nano X reduces staking risks by 70% compared to hot wallets.
Vietnam-Specific Tactics
Vietnamese traders should note:
- Tax laws (luật thuế) now treat crypto-to-crypto trades as taxable events
- Local exchanges like HIBT offer lower fees for VND pairs
