Will Ethereum, the world's largest altcoin, see its fortunes reverse after its recent underperformance?

Cryptocurrency analytics firm Santiment has published a new assessment of Ethereum (ETH), which has been criticized by the crypto community for its recent poor price performance.

Ethereum’s total market cap has fallen by 36% compared to just seven weeks ago. According to the analytics firm, this decline has brought a major drop in the percentage of ETH currently in profit since its initial release. When the percentage of coins in profit at the time of the daily close is evaluated, it has fallen to its lowest relative value in the last four months, and in terms of the number of coins in profit, it has marked a three-month low.

According to Santiment analysts, the crypto community has become increasingly negative towards the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency due to its poor performance compared to other major altcoins. Given the rising FUD and the increasing tendency of retail investors to sell their coins, analysts predict that there could be surprise jumps in ETH prices as the cryptocurrency market begins to stabilize.

The world's largest altcoin is trading at $2,622 at the time of writing.

In 2025, the stablecoin market shows strong signs of growth. Research indicates that the market cap of USD-pegged stablecoins has surged 46% year-over-year, with total trading volume reaching $27.6 trillion, surpassing the combined volume of Visa and Mastercard transactions in 2024. The average circulating supply is also up 28% from the previous year, reflecting sustained market demand. Once used primarily for crypto trading and DeFi collateral, stablecoins are now expanding into cross-border payments and real-world asset management, reinforcing their growing importance in the global financial system. More banks and enterprises are starting to issue their own stablecoins. Standard Chartered launched an HKD-backed stablecoin, and PayPal issued PYUSD. The CEO of Bank of America has expressed interest in launching a stablecoin once regulations permit (via CNBC). Fidelity is developing its own USD stablecoin, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America plan to follow suit when market conditions stabilize. Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial (backed by the Trump family) has introduced USD1, backed by assets such as government bonds and cash.
