Over the years, the cryptocurrency market has experienced several ups and downs. From 2025 to now, it has perfectly exemplified the volatility of the industry. The world's largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has fallen from a historic high of $109,114.88 to a low of $74,436.68. Meanwhile, assets like Ethereum (ETH) have shown almost no significant price fluctuations in the past month. But as a new month approaches, the community is eager to see the trends of these two cryptocurrencies. What is the current status of Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Bitcoin has returned above $90,000 after maintaining above $80,000 for a long time. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $94,781.90. In the previous 24 hours, the price of Bitcoin increased by 0.61%. The highest increase for Bitcoin this month was $95,768.39.
Meanwhile, as of the time of writing, the price of the second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, is $1,810.55. ETH has slightly increased by 0.18% in the past day. Compared to other assets in the market, its performance has been quite slow.
May 2025 Price Forecast
According to data from CoinCodex, Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to record significant increases in the next month. If investors buy Ethereum or Bitcoin now, the returns from these 'king' coins could be higher by May 2025. The current price of BTC is $94,831.18, and it is expected to rise to $109,925 in the future, which means a potential increase of nearly 15.91%.
The current trading price of Ethereum is $1,806.98, with an expected increase to $1,876.20, a gain of only 3.83%, which is much smaller. Investing $1,000 in Bitcoin might yield nearly $159.10, while the same amount invested in Ethereum would only yield $38.30. Based on these forecasts, Bitcoin seems to be the better choice for immediate returns.
