Bitcoin’s (BTC) four-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has dropped to its lowest registered level of 8%, according to Glassnode data.

The four -year period was chosen to adapt to Bitcoin’s (BTC) halving cycle, while also catching the typical bull/bear market cycle that tends to follow a similar timeframe.

In March 2021, four years before, Bitcoin traded about $ 60,000, near the top of the previous market cycle. The decrease in CAG is expected as Bitcoin’s volatility and returns diminishes over time as the asset matures.

However, this metric is very dependent on the reference points. By 2021, Bitcoin experienced a blow -up peak early in the cycle, while $ 80,000 in March 2025 could mark a cycle base.

Ether (ETH) -TO -BITCOIN (ETH/BTC) ratio has also entered the negative CAGR territory of 6%, reflecting the underprestation of Ethereum’s original token compared to Bitcoin. This fall is primarily due to the Ether Prize, which is essentially flat since February 2021, which is now less than $ 2,000.

Currently, the ETH/BTC ratio is 0.024 and marks its lowest level since the end of 2020.
