38% of altcoins near all-time lows, worse than FTX crash: Analyst

The crypto altcoin market is in turmoil as investor sentiment plummets and digital asset prices fail to recover from the October 2025 crash.

An estimated 38% of altcoins are now hovering near all-time lows, which is worse than the post-FTX market crash, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost.

The current market is “unfavorable” for risk-on assets, and the crypto markets are the first to absorb this risk-off posturing, he said, adding:

Examples of altcoins, cryptocurrency that typically serves as an alternative to Bitcoin (BTC), include Cardano’s ADA (ADA), which is hovering at about $0.10 above its all-time low of $0.17. Polkadot (DOT) reached an all-time low of $1.13 in February, but is now up 33% from there, and Polygon (POL) is trading at about $0.02 off its all-time low of $0.08.
