CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju sent shockwaves through the market this Wednesday, asserting that 99.9% of altcoins are technically ‘dead.’ This startling claim raises serious questions about the long-term viability of thousands of crypto projects. So, which cryptocurrencies truly stand a chance of survival? Let’s delve into the details.

A Controversial Statement: Drawing on his platform’s on-chain data, Ki Young Ju contends that the vast majority of altcoins no longer exhibit significant development activity or sufficient liquidity to warrant their existence. According to him, only projects with genuine utility, an active community, and continuous development will be able to weather the next bear market cycle.

What are the Survival Criteria? CryptoQuant’s analysis highlights several critical factors:

Development Activity: Projects with regular GitHub commits and an active roadmap are better positioned.

Liquidity: Sufficient trading volume on major platforms (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken) is crucial.

Real Adoption: Beyond the hype, how many actual users does the project have?

Market Capitalization: Altcoins with a solid market cap (top 30-50) have a much higher chance of enduring.

Which Cryptos Make the Cut? Applying these criteria, projects like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), and a few others are identified as having stronger prospects.
