The performance of top altcoins since 2020 has been dismal compared to Bitcoin's steady growth.
A chart tracking the top 100 coins since 2020 shows that most have lost significant value against Bitcoin, with some plummeting as much as 99% in the same period. The data suggests that holding onto these altcoins instead of investing in Bitcoin would have resulted in substantial losses for investors.
The total altcoin market cap has dropped to $864 billion after a steep weekly decline, and chart analysis indicates that it could continue to fall by nearly 50% to reach $436 billion by mid-July 2026. This prediction is based on the assumption of a similar decline pattern as seen in previous cycles.
