Worst Ethereum Performance in 2025 Among Top 5 Crypto Assets
Ethereum is currently the major crypto asset with the worst performance in 2025, with prices down nearly 51% throughout this year. Its performance is significantly worse than Bitcoin (-5%), Solana (-25.5%), BNB (-13.5%), and even XRP, which is up 1%.
This poor performance has raised increasing concerns about Ethereum's future, especially as alternative chains like Solana and Base continue to gain momentum.
Solana now leads the sector in key on-chain metrics such as DEX volume, application revenue, and user activity, while Base is quickly attracting developer interest.
As these competitors rise, Ethereum's dominance faces increasing challenges. Both in terms of narrative and usage, with some analysts even suggesting that XRP's market capitalization could soon surpass Ethereum.
