Coingecko’s Q1 2025 Report Reveals Crypto Trends – Part 1

CoinGecko published a Q1-2025 report that outlines the current crypto trends. Market conditions throughout the first quarter generated price fluctuations that altered investor actions. 

These latest crypto trends will provide significant information for Bitcoin and memecoin fans.

1) Crypto Market Cap Dropped -18.6% in Q1

The total crypto market cap fell from a record $3.8 trillion on January 18 to $2.8 trillion by the quarter’s end—a loss of $633.5 billion. This peak came just two days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, signalling a potential “sell the news” moment.

Meanwhile, average daily trading volume dropped sharply by -27.3%, from $200.7 billion in Q4 2024 to $146.0 billion in Q1-2025.

2) Bitcoin Took Over—Now Dominates 59.1% of the Market

The market percentage of Bitcoin reached its maximum point at 59.1% during this quarter after it absorbed 4.6 percentage points of market share. Bitcoin acquired investors due to its secure capitalization, which led to successful market performance despite other crypto assets taking substantial losses.

It obtained a market share exceeding 5.2% when it incorporated USDT within its operational system. However, the market value of ETH reached its lowest position since 2019, holding a 7.9% share.

3) Bitcoin Fell -11.8% But Outperformed Most Assets

BTC hit a new all-time high of $106,182 on January 22, right after Trump’s inauguration, but later slid to $82,514 by March. That’s an 11.8% drop—but better than most risk assets. By comparison, the NASDAQ and S&P 500 dropped 10.3% and -4.4%, respectively.

Gold outperformed other assets by gaining +18% as the U.S. dollar (DXY) experienced a -4.6% loss, indicating worldwide economic instability.

4) ETH Crashed -45.3%, Losing All 2024 Gains

Ethereum recorded its most challenging performance compared to top players during this period. The Ethereum price dropped by -45.3% from $3,336 to $1,805, after which all 2024 gains vanished.

This crypto’s daily trading activity reduced from $30 billion to $24.4 billion. ETH proved less stable than BTC, as its performance during this period was heavily outmatched by SOL, XRP, and BNB.

5) Meme Coin Hype Collapsed After LIBRA Rugpull

January was wild for memecoins, especially after the launch of Trump’s TRUMP and MELANIA tokens. Daily token launches at Pump fun reached 72,000 tokens after the surge of political memecoins. LIBRA appeared together with Argentina’s president, Javier Milei when he launched it.

Once LIBRA entered with a $4.6 billion market cap, it lost nearly all its value within a few hours and settled at only a $221 million peak. The number of daily token launches reduced to 31,000, which led to a 0.7% drop in graduated token values starting from 1.4%.

LIBRA-CONNECTED ADDRESSES EXTRACT >$100M

Last night the President of Argentina, @JMilei posted a contract address of a Solana memecoin “LIBRA”

LIBRA hit a max valuation of over $4 BILLION before falling over 95% in less than 6 hours, and the tweet was later deleted.

Conclusion

The first quarter of 2025 was tough but highlighted some essential crypto trends. Bitcoin maintained its leadership position through dominance, but Ethereum declined because market trends show no preference. Meme coins reminded us how hype can turn into heartbreak. The Q1-2025 report from CoinGecko demonstrates that this year has begun with unstable yet informative events. The current focus is on how the market will adapt in the second quarter of the year. Here is the second part.
