Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a mixed year, lagging behind other major cryptocurrencies. However, Mister Crypto, an analyst, highlighted Ethereum’s historical performance in the year following Bitcoin’s halving. Data suggests Ethereum often delivers substantial gains in Q1. And now with Q1 2025 approaching, many are wondering whether Ethereum will follow this pattern once again.
