Abstract - The emergence of cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin, has transformed financial paradigms, ushering in decentralized and encrypted transactions via blockchain technology. Ethereum, a notable cryptocurrency, employs Smart Contracts for enhanced transaction capabilities, surpassing Bitcoin in flexibility and complexity. In this study, we implement an in-depth analysis of cryptocurrency performance before and after COVID. Using rigorous time series analysis techniques including ARIMA, the Holt method, ACF, and ADF, we explore the volatility, trends, and stability of cryptocurrencies during and after the epidemic, providing useful insights into their market dynamics.
