Evaluation of the first quarter of 2025 from CoinTR - Bitcoin news - Uzmancoin - Crypto and Blockchain

As the first quarter of 2025, which started with uncertainties in the global markets, has passed, the report card of the cryptocurrency markets has also emerged. The first three months of the year, during which Bitcoin dropped by more than 6%, turned out to be the worst quarter in terms of performance in the last six years, according to data. While the turbulence deepened in the second quarter, eyes turned to the future performance of risky assets. The domestic crypto asset platform CoinTR, operating under the slogan "The safe point of crypto," evaluated the report card of the first quarter in cryptocurrencies.

CoinTR CEO Ali Eşelioğlu stated, "The new administration's approach in the US is surprising both the business world and global markets. The uncertainty regarding the tariffs announced by the Trump administration to be applied to trading partners and other countries is also bringing losses in the crypto asset market."

"Avoiding emotional decisions is important"

The tariffs, which were announced to be applied to countries trading with the US, especially China, brought sharp declines not only in the stock markets but also in the crypto asset markets. In addition to the rising recession concerns in the US, the Fed's comments that the tariffs will increase inflation supported the downtrend. Noting that Bitcoin declined by 10 thousand dollars only in the first weekend of the second quarter, Ali Eşelioğlu said, "The second quarter started shaky in crypto assets, especially Bitcoin. However, it is critical for investors to read the markets correctly and avoid emotional decisions in such periods. Around the world, investors, market experts and fund managers are watching the outcome of tariff uncertainty. The news feeds and, accordingly, the market reactions are also very fast. Recently, the news that the tariffs would be postponed, followed by a denial from the White House, brought about a sharp fluctuation. On the other hand, the various exemption announcements that came over the weekend may ease the tension a little this week. Bitcoin also spent the weekend in the $84,000 to $85,000 range."

All markets are affected by trade tensions

Pointing out that the effect of the panic caused by the tariffs was observed in the global markets at the beginning of the second quarter, Ali Eşelioğlu said, "Hong Kong is over 10%; Stock markets in China, Japan and Germany fell more than 7%. U.S. stock markets closed negative for four days in a row. Finally, the S&P 500 index fell below 5,000 points on the news that the US has imposed a 104% tax on China. The sharpest declines since the pandemic were witnessed. Although the economy and business agenda follows the tariff news, while all this is happening, there are also developments that can be considered positive for crypto assets. However, on the other hand, positive news continues to come from the intersection of crypto assets and traditional finance. An alternative exchange-traded product indexed to Ripple has started trading. ETF applications for popular altcoins continue. Billions of dollars worth of mergers and acquisitions are signed in the cryptocurrency markets, and investment news is coming. While volatile market conditions are likely to continue, this will not slow down the adoption of blockchain and Web3 technologies."

"Altcoins are growth-oriented, while Bitcoin is a hedge against risk"

CoinTR CEO Ali Eşelioğlu concluded his remarks with the following statements:

"In this environment, many analysts are putting traditional sectors on their agenda and discussing global trade. In the short term, trade developments in the U.S., which are expected to lead to high inflation and weaker economic growth, could sustain volatility in Bitcoin and other risk assets. However, in the long run, the instability caused by tariffs could strengthen Bitcoin's role as a hedge. Since the new generation of altcoins is more growth-oriented, they will need more involvement in institutional finance and a strong story during a possible recovery period. As CoinTR, which is the safe point of crypto and offers a safe and solid roof for everyone, we closely monitor all events and advise our users to make rational decisions and take action at the right times to reduce risks."
