2025: The Year of Altcoins ❌
Yeah, sounds wrong at first.
Rank jumps inside the Top 200:
• $SKY +1200
• $ZBCN +420
• $SYRUP +381
• $MERL +287
• $DCR +103
• $ZEC +100
• $BAT +64
• $TEL +58
• $XMR +29
• $QNT +11
While price stayed down for most names, something more important happened quietly.
Rank movement.
This matters more than people think.
Moving higher in rankings does two things:
> It reduces perceived risk when retail returns
> It improves visibility when liquidity starts rotating
And we all know the flow:
BTC → ETH → Large Caps → Top 200 → Small Caps
Even in a year where upside felt capped, relative strength showed up where it mattered.
Teams kept building.
Metrics improved.
Narratives didn’t die.
Price is just one layer and positioning is another.
When liquidity opens up again, markets don’t start from zero.
They start from who already proved they belong.
