Just checked the February 2026 data and it's pretty rough for both major coins. Ethereum actually had it worse with a -19.81% return that month, which is the third worst since 2017. Bitcoin wasn't much better though at -14.94%, sitting as the third lowest monthly return going back to 2013. What's wild is how far both of these are from their historical averages. For Bitcoin, February usually averages around 11% returns, and Ethereum typically sees about 8.5% in that month. So seeing negative double digits is definitely an outlier. Makes you wonder what was happening in the market back then. Anyway, if you're tracking long-term bitcoin news and ethereum performance, February 2026 is definitely one to remember as a rough month for the space.
