Bitcoin Cash Surges 40%, Leading Layer-1 Performance in 2025
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has emerged as the top-performing Layer-1 blockchain asset of the year, with a nearly 40% increase in value. This performance surpasses other major networks such as BNB, Hyperliquid, Tron, and XRP, which have seen only modest gains. Analyst Crypto Koryo attributes BCH's success to favorable supply dynamics, including no token unlocks or venture-capital overhang, which reduces sell-side pressure. The entire supply of BCH is circulating, contributing to its strong market performance.
In related news, Bitcoin is expected to experience a brief dip to around $87,000 before potentially rebounding to $100,000, according to trader Michaël van de Poppe. He suggests that macroeconomic factors, such as reduced quantitative tightening and potential rate cuts, could support this bullish scenario. However, he warns that failing to maintain key support levels could lead to further declines.
