Ethereum Drops 45.3% in Q1 While Bitcoin Falls 11.7%

In Q1 2025, Ethereum and Bitcoin exhibited contrasting performance. Key points include:

Ethereum's value dropped nearly 50%, closing the quarter at a 45.3% decrease from its opening price.
Bitcoin experienced a smaller decline of 11.7%, peaking at $108,786 on January 20 before dipping below $80,000 in March.
Bitcoin rebounded to above $83,000, while Ethereum fell below $1,900 and risks breaking below $1,800.
This decline is attributed to reduced trading interest and inflows into Spot Ethereum ETFs, with altcoins like Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP gaining traction.
Analysts suggest that $1,800 could serve as a support level for Ethereum, potentially indicating a market recovery for altcoins if a reversal occurs.

Currently, Ethereum trades at $1,803, reflecting minor losses over the past week.
