Most Altcoins May Not Survive 2026, Analyst Warns

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe is warning investors not to assume that all altcoins will recover in the next market cycle. According to him, the idea that “altcoins always come back” is increasingly dangerous.

In a recent YouTube update, Van de Poppe said most altcoins have already fallen around 90% during the past year — performing worse than they did in 2022. He believes many of these tokens may never recover, calling the current downturn the longest bear market in crypto history.

Van de Poppe compared the situation to the aftermath of the dot-com crash, where most early internet companies failed to survive. His message is clear: the next cycle may leave many altcoins behind.
