PANews January 1 News, according to CryptoSlate, the Ethereum network performed strongly in 2025, handling a record-breaking volume of transactions and dominating the DeFi market (mainnet TVL share of 64%). However, ETH prices fell by 10% throughout the year to below $3000, decoupling from network activity. Ethereum actively reduced transaction fees through technical upgrades to promote L2 network growth and expand the entire ecosystem, leading to a significant decline in mainnet revenue. In 2025, L2 total revenue dropped by 53% to $129 million, but the fees paid to the mainnet sharply decreased to only $10 million, with L2 operators retaining approximately $119 million in profit. This means the Ethereum mainnet "sacrificed" over $100 million in potential revenue (about a 1.0% decrease compared to 2024).

BlockBeats News, January 1st, Bitcoin's closing price in 2025 was lower than at the beginning of the year, marking the first time in history that a year recorded a decline after a halving. This has sparked intense discussions in the market about whether the "Bitcoin four-year cycle" has ended. Although the latest halving occurred in April 2024, BTC previously hit a record high of $126,000 on October 6th, but then experienced a significant correction, currently down over 30% from the peak, with the year's performance weakening. Analysts point out that after the 2012, 2016, and 2020 halvings, Bitcoin reached new highs in the following year, but this pattern has not continued in this cycle. Bitgrow Lab founder Vivek Sen bluntly stated that Bitcoin's decline in the year following a halving means the "four-year cycle is officially dead." Investor Armando Pan

BlockBeats News, January 1st, on-chain data analyst Murphy published an analysis indicating that ancient whales holding ETH with a cost basis below $400 have exhibited specific behavior patterns in this cycle. Currently, ETH held for 5 to 7 years has an average turnover cost of $378. Between 2024 and 2025, whenever ETH's price surpasses the $4000 mark, a large amount of ancient chips will realize profits and cash out. For example, in March 24, holdings held for over 5 years realized $600 million in profit in a single day, and in June, there was a massive profit escape of up to $1 billion. In September 25, holdings held for over 7 years, and in October, holdings held for over 10 years, all cashed out more than $500 million in a single day. After profit-taking by ancient chips, ETH invariably reaches a temporary peak. Since 24 years
