Analyst: Cryptocurrency performance was sluggish in Q1, optimistic about a rebound in Q2

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin and Ethereum fell 11.82% and 45.41% respectively in Quarter 1 2025, marking their weakest Q1 performance in years. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan called it "the best and worst quarter in crypto history."
Analysts pointed to several factors that could drive the Q2 market rally: an increase in the global money supply, improved regulatory environments in the United States, and a record high in stablecoin asset management (over $218 million).
