Altcoin apocalypse: “Most altcoins will not survive”
The euphoria of the last bull markets, in which almost every cryptocurrency, no matter how obscure, shot up, could come to an abrupt end. Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, a leading crypto data provider, has a clear message: "Most altcoins will not survive."
In a recent tweet on X, Ju explained that only projects with potential exchange-traded fund (ETF) approvals, robust revenue-generating models, and sustained investor attention will survive. "The era of pumping everything is over," the expert said unequivocally.
Altcoins Likely to Outperform in 2025:1. Potential ETF approvals2. Sustainable attention drivers3. Revenue generating projects
The era of everything pumping is over. It's a selective altseason—most altcoins won't make it.
The current market situation seems to support Ju's dire forecast. According to data from CoinGecko, 24 percent of the top 200 cryptocurrencies are at yearly lows, fueling speculation about a possible "capitulation" in which overwhelmed investors sell their positions in a panic.
Juan Pellicer, senior research analyst at crypto intelligence platform IntoTheBlock, sees the recent market correction, high liquidations, and the decline in the total crypto market cap as signs of such a capitulation. A capitulation often indicates an impending market bottom before the next uptrend begins.
Who could be the winners?Despite the gloomy outlook for many altcoins, there are also bright spots. Some cryptocurrencies could benefit from the approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US. Currently, Cardano, Solana, XRP, Litecoin, Hedera, Dogecoin and Polkadot are awaiting ETF approval.
The days when almost every altcoin skyrocketed seem to be over. Investors should focus on projects with solid fundamentals and clear added value. Even though the "altcoin season" may not return in the form many expected, select cryptocurrencies continue to offer promising opportunities.
