The prolonged geopolitical uncertainty has driven a severe downturn across the altcoin market, surpassing the decline seen during the 2022 FTX collapse.
4 Out Of 10 Altcoins Got Whipped All The Bottom
Coin Bureau reports that 38.8% of altcoins have fallen to near‑all‑time lows, with roughly four out of ten assets hitting such levels. Data from Whitelist Media indicates that Cardano (ADA) has experienced the steepest decline, losing up to 90% of its peak value.
38% OF ALTCOINS ARE NEAR ALL-TIME LOWS, WORSE THAN FTX COLLAPSE!
Nearly 4 out of 10 altcoins are trading near their ALL-TIME LOW — that’s worse than when FTX collapsed.

In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) has remained relatively stable despite retreating from its $129,000 all‑time high earlier this year. Ethereum (ETH) has also shown resilience, despite periodically dipping below its $1,500 support zone.
ADA’s Stuck Between Support Bubble & Tight Resistance
Cardano (ADA) has recently shown a modest rebound toward the $0.20 level, standing out in an otherwise fragmented altcoin market. Whether this modest recovery can evolve into a sustainable trend will depend heavily on the trajectory of Cardano’s institutional adoption.
At present, the decoupling of Cardano’s price action serves as a potentially positive signal. If the 90% reversal materializes, long‑term bulls may reinforce the $0.16 support level, which hinges on sustained confidence in Cardano’s future prospects. Recently, Chainspect highlighted Cardano’s strong Nakamoto Coefficient, underscoring its decentralization.
Cardano Scores Big In The Fundamental Nakamoto Test
The Nakamoto Coefficient of 0.16 reflects Cardano’s degree of decentralization; the higher the coefficient, the more participants required to compromise the network. This metric positions Cardano as one of the more decentralized and secure blockchains, raising the question of whether mainstream demand will align with its robust infrastructure.
On Monday, spot trading volume for ADA rose to $210.75 million. However, the more significant development was a 41% increase in futures volume, reaching $367.37 million, as reported by CoinGlass.
The $0.20 price point represents a critical juncture that could shape near‑term market sentiment and potentially trigger the anticipated 90% rebound toward its all‑time high.
