Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has emerged as a standout performer among Layer 1 tokens this year, recording a nearly 40% increase. Alongside BCH, BNB, HYPE, and TRX are the only L1 tokens to see gains in 2025. BCH's performance is attributed to its fully circulating supply, which lacks venture capital sell pressure, and ongoing speculation about potential ETF approvals. Additionally, BCH benefits from stable liquidity and volatility, contributing to its robust market position.
