Most other layer-1 networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Cardano, and DOT, remain down more than 50% for 2025.
Bitcoin Cash News
Bitcoin Cash has climbed nearly 40% this year, outpacing every major layer-1 blockchain and emerging as the top performer among established networks.
According to data shared by analyst Crypto Koryo, Bitcoin Cash has beaten Hyperliquid's HYPE, TRX, and XRP in year-to-date returns. Most other layer-1 networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Cardano, and DOT, remain down more than 50% for 2025.
Koryo pointed to Bitcoin Cash's supply structure as a key driver behind the rally. The network has no scheduled token unlocks, no foundation treasury selling pressure, and no venture capital firms dumping holdings. The entire Bitcoin Cash supply is already circulating, which reduces sell-side pressure compared to competitors.
The analyst also noted that Bitcoin Cash achieved this performance without an official account on X. Bitcoin Cash has attracted fresh demand despite limited promotional activity across social media platforms.
On the demand side, new investor interest has combined with clean supply dynamics to push prices higher. The lack of overhang from early backers or institutional sellers has allowed market participants to absorb available supply without constant downward pressure.
Koryo's analysis highlights how supply dynamics can influence performance independent of network activity or developer momentum. Bitcoin Cash's structure stands in contrast to newer layer-1 projects that face regular unlock schedules.
Meanwhile, trader Michaël van de Poppe suggested Bitcoin could dip to $87,000 before rebounding toward $100,000. He expects the pullback to sweep recent lows ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting, then set up a swift recovery. Van de Poppe sees support at the $92,000 level as critical for maintaining bullish #momentum toward six figures within one to two weeks.
His outlook depends on what he views as supportive macro conditions, including reduced quantitative tightening, upcoming rate cuts, and expanding money supply. However, he identified two scenarios that would invalidate the bullish case. A breakdown below $86,000 could trigger a move to $80,000, while failure to break and hold above $92,000 would signal continued resistance.
Technical analyst TXMC noted that Bitcoin's liveliness indicator is climbing again even as prices remain subdued. The metric tracks long-term coin spending versus holding and historically rises during bull market phases. TXMC said increasing liveliness while prices stay muted suggests stronger underlying demand for spot BTC than current price action reflects.
