The first months of 2025 have surprised analysts and investors alike, with expectations of a bull market for Bitcoin and altcoins meeting unexpected trends.
Overview of the Current Year for Cryptocurrencies
The start of 2025 has seen a downturn in the price of Bitcoin and most altcoins. This occurs amidst fears of trade wars initiated by US President Donald Trump, creating selling pressure on crypto assets.
Altcoins Surpassing Bitcoin
CoinMarketCap data reveals that only 17 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days. Leading this list is Berachain (BERA) with a 494% increase, followed by DEXE and Story (IP) with 76% and 74%, respectively. Bitcoin, on the other hand, saw a 15% decline over the same period.
Listed and Non-Listed Altcoins
Some of the highlighted altcoins, such as BERA, DEXE, and LTC, are listed on Binance, while others like Story (IP) and Bitget Token (BGB) remain unlisted on major exchanges.
Despite unexpected trends at the start of the year, the cryptocurrency market remains unpredictable, capturing the interest of analysts and investors. Time will tell how the events of 2025 unfold.
