A recent study by SWAN, a Bitcoin Financial Services Company, has shown that most alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) have experienced fast and systematic depreciation when measuring Bitcoin (BTC).
This result emphasizes the role of Bitcoin as a more stable asset for capital preservation in a fluctuating cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin vs. Altcoin: Which better is it better?
SWAN shared insight from the detailed threads of X (previous Twitter).
“Altcoins collapses about it, not just low on bitcoin,” the post read.
This analysis has investigated the performance of the top 300 Altcoin for five years. After this asset reached an all -time ATH, it focused on the time it took to lose 90%of its value compared to Bitcoin.
SWAN said, “The central value Altcoin has reached a -90%defects in just 10-20 months.
In addition, according to SWAN’s data, Terra (LUNA1), Ontology Gas (ong) and Bitgert (Brise) recorded the fastest score and recorded 90% down mark within two months. The larger and more established Altcoin has not been immunized by this trend.
For example, Cardano (ADA) and XRP (XRP) took 36 months to depreciate 90%of the record peak. Meanwhile, Litecoin (LTC) has experienced a gradual decline, which takes 69 months. Monero (XMR) saw the slowest decline, took six years and reached a -90% decline.
The analysis of SWAN is extended to 45 Altcoins that have not yet experienced a 90% decrease. They have not yet “collapse”, but the data suggests that it only delays the inevitable loss.
The average drawdown of these altcoins is 76%at the maximum value. Even the most performance of the most performance, even the best performance, was still 43% less than BTC.
SWAN said, “Bitcoin remains a benchmark of capital preservation, which does not ring Bitcoin.
The result is a systematic problem in the Altcoin space. This data suggests that Altcoins, which is often sold as an alternative to Bitcoin, does not provide continuous value over time compared to major cryptocurrency.
SWAN also emphasized that long -term achievements by Altcoins are very rare. In addition, the company believes that the tendency to focus on successful projects has hidden extensive corruption throughout the market with wider survival prejudice.
“It’s amazing that Altcoin continues to exist through these performances,” said John Haar.
Why aren’t the altcoin seasons come back?
Concerns are added as the saturation of the Altcoin market increases. According to CoinmarketCap (CMC) data, more than 1.8 million tokens were created last month.
But the majority of these tokens cannot be conveyed. Beincrypto recently reported that 89%of the tokens listed on Binance in 2025 were red. Therefore, the value of the new Altcoins is led by short -term transactions and over -advertising, not on a continuous basis.
In addition, the surge in the number of tokens has fragmented market liquidity. These factors delayed the long -standing “Altcoin season”. But some analysts claim that the traditional Altcoin season will never come back.
This change is attracting attention as its dominance increases in Bitcoin’s market. Bitcoin fixes its position as a dominant digital asset, while the same is true for Altcoins. This struggles to maintain the relationship between Bitcoin’s continuous increase and the interest of investors.
