Though the downturn hasn’t been universal, the first quarter (Q1) of 2025 has been devastating for cryptocurrency traders, with many of the biggest digital assets collapsing in value.
The drop is well exemplified both in the price of individual coins and tokens – Bitcoin (BTC), for example, fell 11.21% to $82,988, and Ethereum (ETH) crashed 44.31% to $1,857 – and by the overall sector market capitalization drop from $3.25 trillion to $2.65 trillion: a $600 billion wipe.
Under the circumstances and with many fearing the U.S. may have already entered a recession, Finbold decided to ask the advanced artificial intelligence (AI) of ChatGPT-4o to help make the ideal Q2 cryptocurrency portfolio to weather the storm.

ChatGPT makes top crypto picks for Q2, 2025
ChatGPT proved relatively conservative in its portfolio selection. The AI recommended allocating as much as 40% of the investment to Bitcoin, explaining that BTC remains a strong contender for excellent long-term growth thanks to its size and resilience.
It also recommended putting 25% into Ethereum as ETH is, per the artificial intelligence, ‘the leading platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts.’
ChatGPT also reflected on the Binance Coin (BNB) as worth about 15% of the total investment due to its overall role in the exchange’s ecosystem, while it recommended putting 10% into Cardano (ADA) for the token’s notable ‘research-driven approach and emphasis on security and sustainability.’
Lastly, the AI urged allocating 5% each into Solana (SOL) ‘due to its high throughput and low transaction costs’ and its growing ecosystem and into Polkadot (DOT) due to it facilitating interoperability between diverse blockchains.
Is April the right time to invest in crypto?
Under the uncertain market conditions prevailing at the onset of Q2 2025, Finbold also asked ChatGPT if investors would be wiser to put money into such a portfolio or evade digital assets entirely for the time being.
According to the AI, investing in cryptocurrencies is the better call even with the turbulence, though it emphasizes it is a winning strategy only for long-term investors.
Furthermore, the AI emphasized $500 as the minimum investment worth making in the portfolio it designed – though it set the range between $5,000 and $15,000 as ideal – while warning against allocating more than 25% of one’s disposable income.
Simultaneously, it opined that placing less than 5% of one’s disposable income – money after non-negotiable expenses such as food and shelter – wouldn’t yield noteworthy results.
