The crypto market continues to fluctuate, and in 2025, Bitcoin and Ethereum face changes, while the BlockDAG project shows resilience.
Bitcoin (BTC): Holding Firm Despite Decline
Bitcoin (BTC) started 2025 with a high price of $94,443.52, but by April 1, 2025, its value had fallen to $83,201.67, representing a 12% loss. Nevertheless, Bitcoin maintains its dominance in the crypto market with a market cap of over $1.63 trillion, remaining the largest cryptocurrency in the world. The recent decline is attributed to global economic factors, including new U.S. tariff policies that affected the overall investment climate.
Ethereum (ETH): Sharp Drop and Investors' Actions
Ethereum (ETH) experienced a sharper decline, dropping 45% over three months. Since the beginning of the year, ETH's price has declined from $3,353.50 to $1,827.88 by April 1, with a market cap falling to around $220 billion. The primary contributors to this downturn include regulatory measures and market reactions to recent events. However, on-chain data indicates that large investors have continued to accumulate ETH during this correction phase, suggesting confidence in its long-term value.
BlockDAG Proves Its Existence
Following the Keynote 3 event, the BlockDAG project demonstrated its viability by launching working products and a testnet. Over $211 million was raised in the presale, and early investors have seen a 2,380% return on their investment. The project stands out for its execution of infrastructure and active development, allowing it to sidestep criticism associated with a lack of accountability.
Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to face pressure from market factors, but their stories and fundamental qualities remain strong. Meanwhile, BlockDAG represents a new and sought-after project with clear progress, underscoring the importance of delivering on promises in the crypto space.
