Bitcoin's performance in the financial year ending March 31, 2026, saw a 23% decline, closing at $66,694, after peaking at $126,000 in October 2025. Ethereum, on the other hand, hit an all-time high of $5,000 in August 2025 before experiencing a significant drawdown. Nischal Shetty, Founder of WazirX, highlighted Bitcoin's resilience, noting its ability to stabilize around the $70,000 support level amidst macroeconomic pressures such as geopolitical conflicts and equity sell-offs. SB Seker, Head of APAC at Binance, pointed out that 2025 marked a pivotal year for digital assets, with the total market capitalization surpassing $4 trillion and Bitcoin maintaining a market dominance of 58-60%. Despite a 22.6% decline in total cryptocurrency market capitalization to $2.36 trillion in February 2026, the market showed positive monthly trends from April to July. Looking forward, analysts anticipate that regulatory clarity and institutional adoption will drive the next phase of growth in the cryptocurrency space.
