CoinGecko's 2025 Q1 Crypto Industry Report portrays a challenging quarter for the cryptocurrency market with total market capitalization falling by 18.6%, or $633.5 billion. The market, which had first rallied following Donald Trump's inauguration, imploded on the back of recessionary fears and macroeconomic headwinds from a year-to-date high of $3.8 trillion in mid-January to $2.8 trillion at the end of March.
Key points are that Bitcoin dominance increased to 59.1%, its highest since the beginning of 2021, showing its relative strength during the decline, although its price fell by 11.8%. Ethereum's price fell precipitously, erasing all its gains in 2024, and spot trading volume fell at centralized exchanges and the total value locked in multichain DeFi also declined.
The report gives a snapshot of a turbulent and challenging quarter characterized by colossal losses and dwindling investor activity. Despite the overall decline, Bitcoin demonstrated resilience compared to altcoins
