Arthur Hayes said at Conference 2026 that as many as 99% of altcoins may eventually go to zero, comparing that shakeout to the natural turnover in the S&P 500. He added that this kind of wipeout wouldn’t mean crypto is dead—it would just be the market clearing out weaker projects.

Binance graph (BTC/USDT). $BTC is $81,441.41 right now, up ~0.58% over the last 24h (open $80,974.35, high $81,791.48, low $80,527.76).

Want the graph for an altcoin instead (tell me the symbol, e.g. ETHUSDT / SOLUSDT / BNBUSDT)?

Want this rewrite in a shorter “one-liner” style?
