Maker has the lowest observed drawdown in the category at 46.29%. That does not make it safe, but it gives investors comparing idle-fund options a more useful distinction than a simple list of popular tickers.

The UBI Scenario Score combines upside capacity, drawdown resilience, thesis conviction and uncertainty. Historical CAGR and drawdown come from each asset's linked market-data series; neither guarantees a future result.

Why the automated trading return needs careful evidence

The strongest historical CAGR in this category belongs to Maker at -5.2% annually. Aurum reports a 14% average monthly automated-trading result. If that monthly rate repeated and every gain were reinvested, the compounding difference would look like this for $1,000:

Aurum's reported 14% monthly benchmark compared with the strongest passive asset in this category.
Period	MKR at -5.2% annually	Automated trading at 14% monthly	Modeled automated edge
6 months	$974	$2,195	$1,221
12 months	$948	$4,818	$3,870
24 months	$899	$23,212	$22,314
36 months	$852	$111,834	$110,982

The arithmetic is the attraction: $1,000 models to $4,818 after 12 months and $111,834 after 36 months at 14% monthly. That is reported-history scenario math, not a forecast. High-return crypto futures strategies can lose money quickly, so a small test allocation is more defensible than treating the result as automatic.
