2019 has been a bad year for most altcoins so far, but there are a few cryptocurrencies which have been performing exceptionally poorly. Let’s take a look at the worst offenders.
We’re past the halfway point of 2019 and, still, many of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have failed to gain any momentum. Although most have posted significant gains which would be respectable in a regular stock market, it pales in comparison to Bitcoin’s drastic rise from $3000 at the start of the year.
Some Leading Cryptocurrencies Still Posting 2019 Losses
There were only four major high market capitalization cryptocurrencies which posted losses from the beginning of 2019 until now.- Stellar (-38.11%)
- IOTA (-32.34%)
- XRP (-24.58%)
- TRON (-6.79%).
- Bitcoin Cash (+93.43%)
- Monero (+74.92%)
- Bitcoin SV (+50.97%)
- EOS (+41.21%)
- Ethereum (+38.36%)
- NEO (+32.61%)
- Cardano (down -96% from ATH)
- IOTA (down -96% from ATH)
- NEO (down -95% from ATH)
- TRON (down -94% from ATH)

What the Future Holds for Altcoins
With Bitcoin dominance hovering just under 70%, many have been saying we are close to a significant restructuring of the cryptocurrency market. Yet, these calls have been made for months now, and many altcoins continue to bleed. As it stands now, with the Bitcoin halving approaching in May 2020, the state of most cryptocurrencies remains uncertain. The fundamental analysis may be sound, but the market is not ready to invest in altcoins. Moreover, there are far fewer HOLD’rs this time around—suddenly, everyone is a trader in 2019, which has caused pumps-and-dumps for many altcoins as people jump around.![cryptocurrencies](https://beincrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/shutterstock_795745204.jpg.optimal.jpg)
