Bitcoin's 2025 Performance: Analyst Predicts Normal Cooling Period

According to ChainCatcher, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has commented on Bitcoin's performance, suggesting that its recent trends are a natural correction following an unusually strong surge last year. Bitcoin saw a cumulative increase of 122% in 2024, which is approximately five times the growth of other assets. As the market enters 2025, even if Bitcoin experiences a plateau or slight pullback, maintaining an average annual growth rate of around 50% would be considered a normal cooling period. Balchunas noted that the market's interpretation of Bitcoin's pullback is exaggerated, as similar occurrences are common in stocks and other traditional assets.
