Crypto is having a rough 2025 so far, with Bitcoin down 7.7%, Ethereum down 12%, and Solana plummeting 33%. Meanwhile, traditional assets like silver, gold, and copper are thriving, with gains of 113%, 65%, and 32% respectively. Even the Nasdaq and S&P 500 are outperforming crypto, with gains of 14.6% and 12.5%

This underperformance is surprising, given crypto's past growth. Analysts point to various factors, including institutional investors' caution, regulatory uncertainty, and shifting market dynamics.
