AVAX

hoppeeness

I mean there are plenty. XRP, Canton, HBAR, AVAX, XLM…even things like chainlink which isn’t really a blockchain.

Upbeat-Student5924

me personally would firstly allocate a big % to BTC however do like ADA, AVAX and LINK.

>Which other chains in the top 50 are shipping high-value upgrades every year? I asked chatGPT just because I ain't about to start researching every L1s 5 year history and it did agree with BCH being relatively strong amongst the 10 L1s that it thought qualified. I asked some follow-up questions that kind of addressed my criticisms, got a pretty comprehensive overview that I honestly think is pretty accurate. It went by the criteria I quoted, and those rankings I'll post, then it weighted based on potential niches and market shares they could target, then last it was weighted on probability. Here is the link to the full convo: [https://chatgpt.com/share/6ab46760-af68-83ea-81cb-49b365ba50ac](https://chatgpt.com/share/6ab46760-af68-83ea-81cb-49b365ba50ac) Here is what it said: >My overall ordering >Ethereum >Avalanche >Bitcoin Cash >Polkadot >Solana >Tezos >Stellar >BNB Smart Chain >Sui >Cardano >The biggest thing that changed my view after using your BCH framework is Bitcoin Cash's position. If you merely read "BCH gets one hard fork every May," it can sound incremental. When you instead ask what can developers do after the upgrade that they couldn't realistically do before, the 2022–2026 sequence is unusually substantive. It isn't five years of parameter adjustments: it's a fairly deliberate progression toward a dramatically more expressive UTXO smart-contract platform. >And if I changed the weighting to emphasize consistency + new use cases more heavily while giving less weight to the magnitude of any single upgrade, I'd probably move BCH to #2 and Tezos above Solana. Ethereum would still be #1 because the accumulated impact of Merge → blobs → PeerDAS → account improvements is simply unusually broad. This was the final rankings when taking into account everything: >If I had to attach **very rough probability-adjusted relative scores**, where 100 represents the strongest combination of plausible adoption × resulting tokenomic impact—not expected investment returns—I'd put them around: |Token|Probability-adjusted score| |:-|:-| |**SOL**|**88**| |**ETH**|**86**| |**BNB**|**80**| |**SUI**|**72**| |**AVAX**|**66**| |**BCH**|**58**| |**XLM**|**48**| |**DOT**|**45**| |**ADA**|**42**| |**XTZ**|**35**| >The really interesting comparison to me is **BCH vs. SUI vs. AVAX**. >BCH might have **greater token-price sensitivity if its thesis succeeds**, because the supply is almost entirely issued and its existing economic base is comparatively small. >SUI has a **much more probable route to extremely high transaction/state activity**. >AVAX has perhaps the **cleanest infrastructure-level recurring token-demand mechanism**, but requires sovereign/app-specific chains to become a major architecture. >So I'd characterize them as: >**SUI = best probability/upside balance.** **AVAX = strongest infrastructure monetization thesis.** **BCH = largest potential surprise relative to current expectations.** >That distinction is much more useful than simply saying one has “better tokenomics.”

AVAX up 50% this week.... lol

Dubb18

Didn't think a new bottom was coming, but I thought we'd see another test of recent support levels over the coming weeks/months before another move. I was very surprised with AVAX's move over the past few days.

Itchy-Insurance2834

No AVAX anywhere? Damm T_T

Did run your bag through our portfolio risk analysis at [Sentralis.io](https://sentralis.io) assuming an equal dollar amount in every coin, since you gave no sizes. (You can use the free account if you want to use different weights)- Canton has under a month of price data, so the figures cover the other 21 coin. Simulated one year forward from current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed, the worst 5% of outcomes lose 61% or more. Just under half of the simulated paths pass through a 50% drawdown at some point in the year, and 94% pass through a 30% drawdown. One in five paths ends the year at double the starting value, and four out of five of those still went through a 30% drawdown on the way. All simulation figures are model estimates under those assumptions, not predictions. The basket runs at 66% annual volatility against 43.5% for BTC. Correlations between the 21 coins over the past year average 0.62, with the large names at 0.8 to 0.9 with each other, so the spread across 21 names removes far less risk than the count suggests. Your plan to keep only BTC and ETH cuts the volatility to 50% and the share of paths through a 50% drawdown to three in ten. As a check on which names carry the most downside, the coins that fell hardest in the bear market from October 2025 to July 2026 were ARB, SUI, AVAX and PYTH at 77% or more, while HYPE and Morpho ended that window higher.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Wow up 4% in the last few days. Maybe someone should tell him AVAX is up 58% in the last few days , and a bunch of alt coins are up 20%-60%.

Wdym_Brother

historically speaking, the price rn is still a perfect time to get exposure to AVAX if you want. I’ve been DCA since the start of 2026 to lower the average price for my bag and I’m still planning to continue even with the pump

So I built a site which has the whole top \~1000 on one page, with a bar at the bottom that rewinds the ranking to any day this year and plays it forward. You can look up one coin's RSI anywhere, but I could never see whether that coin was oversold or the whole market was. So there's an indicators page where every coin in the top 1000 is a small dot with its logo on one chart, rank along the bottom, RSI up the side, and the zones are coloured so you can see how much of the market is overbought or oversold. Same timeline bar at the bottom, drag it to any day this year or press play. I can't attach an image here, so this link opens the chart set to June 8, the most oversold day this year, with 1000-ish coins on it: [https://coingmi.com/indicators/?d=2026-06-08&n=1000](https://coingmi.com/indicators/?d=2026-06-08&n=1000) That day 28% of all coins were under RSI 30 and another 36% under 40. BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, LTC and AVAX all in the oversold band. You can drag a box around a bunch of coins to follow them, and the bar shows their average change from that day as you play forward. I drew a box around everything oversold on June 8 and pressed play to today: those 204 coins are up 67.7% on average (192 of them are still in the top 1000, the ones that dropped out aren't counted, and it's an average, so a few coins that did 10x pull it up). Obviously June 8 turned out to be about the best day to buy anything this year, so don't read too much into it. The point is you can try it on any day and with any set: the overbought ones, the top 100, one sector. There are 15 indicators in the picker, RSI is just the one everyone knows. MACD against its signal line went in this week, so you can see what share of the market is above its signal line on any day (it went from 88% to 9% inside a month at the start of the year). Also distance from the 90-day average, how far below the one-year high, correlation and beta to Bitcoin, 30-day change against Bitcoin's, volume vs the month before, etc. You can show the top 100, 200, 500 or all 1000, and the coins you follow stay highlighted when you switch. I'm looking for feedback, so if there's something you'd want added, or something that would make this more useful for you or others, let me know! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

My AVAX bag coming alive again was not on my radar this month 😂

dyrnwyn580

Hello AVAX. :)

RatherCynical

This is a stupid way to frame it. Crypto sources its funds from ordinary banks. People put their savings into DeFi because when banks pay 0-2%, NOT using DeFi is losing money to inflation. That's where all the ETH, DOT, ADA, AVAX, FTM, MATIC, NEAR, and every other NFT going crazy comes from. Without that money, no alt-season. Because we shifted regime from nearly 2 decades of 0-2% interest to a 4%+ interest regime, the death of alt-season happened in 2022. It's never about "crypto being a lifestyle". It's about the money valve getting firmly clamped shut

Infinite_Raise8611

Well by pure return vs BTC Eth underperformed, SOL absolutely destroyed BTC, AVAX underperformed, XRP underperformed but hardly, XLM basically same return, and Zcash obliterated them all. I sold all near top and have reentered and am very confident in my allocation heading towards this next cycle. Would be shocked if ETH/SOL don’t outperform BTC this next cycle.

Infinite_Raise8611

I don’t disagree at all- my crypto portfolio comprised of 60% BTC 18% ETH, 15% SOL/some AVAX/XRP/XLM and rest alt moonshots. I just don’t believe in the industry wide hype wave up again. It’ll be isolated projects w solid fundamentals along w random meme coins. Had little bit of Zcash but dumped it on pump- hope to reenter at some point

Dubb18

Don't know about moon, but I'm holding SOL and AVAX which are trending in a bullish direction. Both are seeing institutional adoption which will help drive prices higher. As always, invest at your own risk and never use money you can't afford to lose. Always some bad news away from things turning bearish.

Traditional_Most105

Chainlink -LINK. Charles Schwab has announced plans to add LINK, SOL and AVAX so these will have more exposure to more people. And LINK the past couple of weeks had some positive news that makes it even stronger canditate for long term holding. But dont just take blindly mine or others opinion. Do your own research on coins that interest you.

hoppeeness

Clarity act helps the utility coins more than BTC. BTC will be hurt in the long run. Once you can more easily tokenize RWAs BTCs use case weakens while the ETHs, SOLs, ChainLinks, XRPs, HBARs, Cantons, AVAX, XLMs, etc. get more protection and standing legally.

hoppeeness

I don’t think so. I think it will be a much more spread out allocation. Clarity act helps the utility coins more than BTC. BTC will be hurt in the long run. Once you can more easily tokenize RWAs BTCs use case weakens while the ETHs, SOLs, ChainLinks, XRPs, HBARs, Cantons, AVAX, XLMs, etc. get more protection and standing legally.

ivanx90

Really appreciate you actually reading through the code, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. The gradient booster idea makes sense in theory but yeah, like you said, not enough data at 2h resolution to train anything reliable right now. Filed away for later if we ever get more history. The per-asset thing hit hardest though, went and checked it right after reading your comment. Same exact strategy across 10 coins on the 2H bot, 3 months of data: LINK 71% winrate, +0.71 ADA 70% winrate, +0.59 SOL 50% winrate, +0.07 BNB 50% winrate, -0.64 DOGE 42% winrate, -0.76 NEAR 43% winrate, -1.86 XRP 29% winrate, -1.07 AVAX 27% winrate, -1.52 BTC 20% winrate, -0.94 ETH 30% winrate, -2.19 Basically confirms exactly what you guessed without even seeing the numbers. One model, wildly different results per coin. Feels like the next real thing to dig into rather than more exit tuning. Volatility-adaptive stops instead of fixed thresholds lines up with something we found digging into MFE/MAE research before posting here (Chandelier exit type stuff), so good to hear it independently from someone who actually trades this way. You're right on the order book too, we're doing a REST snapshot via fetch_order_book, not a real delta stream, and yeah the main loop is just sleeping 60s between polls. Both accurate, both would be a real infra upgrade, just not sure yet if that's the bottleneck or if it's the per-asset thing above. Probably worth doing eventually either way. Maker vs taker on exit is a good point for whenever this goes live, but it's all paper trading right now so no real fills happening yet, nothing to optimize there for the moment. Thanks again, this was way more useful than I expected when I posted.

Post is by: Enzoslr and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1w0oman/btc_back_above_80k_up_156_thursday_still_not/ Quick recap of where we are. BTC broke above $80K last week on a short squeeze, over $1.4B in bearish bets liquidated in a single day. It touched $81K, dipped back to $78K on a hot US inflation print, and closed Thursday at $80,258, a 1.56% daily gain that put it back above the $80K level. Spot BTC ETFs just logged their ninth straight day of net inflows, $242.3M on Thursday alone, about $3B across the streak. Solana led the pack, up 6.89% after Schwab said it plans to add SOL, AVAX and LINK to Schwab Crypto. ETH lagged, up just 0.17%. Jackson Hole runs through Friday, so more volatility is likely before the week is out. None of that changes my thesis. What it does is make me think twice about selling into a move like this. Selling now means giving up upside if the thesis plays out, taking a tax event I didn't need to take, and re-entering later at a worse price if I'm wrong about timing. Borrowing against the position at nеxо gets me liquidity without closing it out. I keep exposure, I get cash for whatever I need it for, and the cost is the interest rate on the loan. Is anyone actively borrowing instead of selling? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

_Adrian_Morris_

Leverage wasn't there, volume was 3-5x so not sure what you are looking at? There are too many alts now for everything to get a taste IMO. Outside of ETH, SOL and a handful of others. That said, ETH and SOL are both up almost 50% over the last month, Even AVAX and a few others caught a bid, so again, not sure what you are looking at.

anon1971wtf

> I genuinely don't understand what people who invest in altcoins like AVAX, Litecoin, Cardano, etc. are thinking Not looking carefully at all-time charts of all of these vs Bitcoin, that's most likely

Sea-Push5285

Honestly, other than BTC and a few coins that actually provide some form of value retention for holders, like HYPE, I think most other coins have no real value. Yes, that includes ETH, SOL, and BNB. You buy them because you hope the price goes up so you can eventually dump them on someone else at a higher price. These coins don't really do anything other than pay transaction fees on their respective chains. Some people will argue that crypto is more volatile and therefore offers more upside than stocks. That just tells me they haven't traded small-cap stocks. Tickers like USAR, SMCI, and plenty of others can easily move 10% in a single day. On the weekly chart, swings of 50–70% over just 3–4 weeks are completely normal. The important difference is that these companies are actually running businesses. They have real assets, financial statements, revenues, expenses, and accounting records. With crypto? The growth of a chain doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the price of its token. The Solana chain can keep hitting all-time highs across various metrics while SOL still dumps for 10 consecutive months without a meaningful recovery. ETH can do the same. I genuinely don't understand what people who invest in altcoins like AVAX, Litecoin, Cardano, etc. are thinking. Honestly, they'd probably have a much better chance of eventually breaking even if they traded small-cap stocks instead. At least there is an actual business underneath. I'd put their chances of recovering their money at 1,000x higher than with those garbage coins. I can at least understand SOL, ETH, and BNB because they're large caps with a history of recovering after major drawdowns. But even investing in those is pretty risky, because there is ultimately nothing underneath them that provides a real fundamental floor for the price. **In conclusion, unless we're talking about BTC or tokens with a clear mechanism for preserving or returning value to holders, investing in crypto feels largely pointless compared to other asset classes.** >

What’s your thesis on AVAX?

YePeX

AVAX

MisterD00d

I caught a few small but decent licks on "AI" alt coins and this is when Hyperliquid started to take off running isn't it I would agree with OP to an extent People missed it because their bags didn't go up, older alts like Polygon or Cronos or AVAX didn't go crazy. Some people speculating that with ETH gas being improved upon so much all the chains whose value add was cheap are all made redundant if they have nothing else to show for it. 99% of coins go to zero on a long enough timeline. People thought that couldn't include top 50 by market cap for some reason

Blooberino

I get it. And I've earned my downvotes for not saying the absolute most negative thing about this coin because it has the president attached to it. But the shape of the price trend matches DOT, COMP, AVAX, CRV, ATOM, etc... pretty much every alt, none of which were rugpulls. Just shitcoins with no use and history will forget. Comes out strong and fades into the abyss of alts. But because it's TRUMP, the hivemind demands the worst. It's my fault for attempting impartiality.

YePeX

AVAX not even in the list? ROFL

That's completely fair. I do admit AVAX is a gamble. It's not a lot of money, and I still have some time left. I hope. But AVAX is my only crypto.

MinimalGravitas

> Average $15, staking until at least 2030. No worries. Current price is $6.70, so compounding 7% APY wouldn't you need to stake until 2040 for your AVAX to be worth more than your investment. Assuming the asset price doesn't drop further. Not trying to be horrible, I'm just trying to point out that staking APY isn't really a beneficial aspect to an asset that's price is basically down only.

MinimalGravitas

> AVAX is 7% APY AVAX is down 65% in the last year... so I guess that means if you staked it you'd only be down 62.6%? That doesn't seem great.

blaand01theflipside

Core Wallet is Avalanche/AVAX own dedicated wallet. Really starting to look good.

blaand01theflipside

AVAX gives 6-7% APY

Flare? QNT? 😂😂😂 I bought all the alts that were supposed to be the "future". NEO, XRP, tron, ada, harmony one, HBAR, AVAX, etc. Everything you are holding is a bunch of dogshit. Sorry to tell you. Theres a reason you're down 60%+. Stop buying shit alts

Not because BTC moved too much, but because I had SOL and AVAX perps open on the same account and cross margin meant they all shared one collateral pool. When the wick hit, alts dumped harder than BTC, and the combined drawdown pulled the whole account below maintenance. The BTC position on its own would have survived easily. A 3x long does not liquidate on a 15% move. That is the part that still annoys me. Cross margin felt safer on paper because unused margin backs every position, but what it really does is let your weakest trade kill the rest. I started checking how different platforms handle the isolated vs cross choice. Some make you dig through settings before you can switch. BYDFi makes you pick isolated or cross per position before confirming the order. It is one extra click but it would have kept my BTC walled off from the alt liquidation. Not saying that platform is special, just that the UX choice is the kind of guardrail I wish I had hit. Now I open everything isolated with individual stops. If one trade blows up it takes only that collateral. Cross still makes sense if you are hedging the same pair or running a tight arb, but I will not run a portfolio of volatile alts on shared margin again.

LINK is a decent start. I’d look at coins with actual usage and products behind them, not just old ATH charts. NEXO, AVAX, INJ and maybe some RWA names are worth checking among others, but I’d still avoid going all in on one narrative.

I’ve given up on alts. I’ve held onto alts since the 2021 drop. I sold some for profit but kept AVAX & others hoping to gain some more profit. Only alts I would consider are ETH, SOL, LINK, HBAR. I think I’ll just stick with BTC from now on

Backieotamy

ETH, XRP, SOL, HBAR. IMO LINK, AVAX, SUI are decent as well but I am only diversifying so much.

AVAX is trash price wise. It's massively down from its ATHs. The bagholder ceiling is brutal...

blaand01theflipside

You're right. I can only hope for them to pull this off. AVAX is my only crypto, but then again it's less than 15% of my portfolio. Escrow is done by 2030 at a maximum of 720M float. Keeping my head up high for the future.

blaand01theflipside

Read up on Avalanche/AVAX. BlackRock, Toyota, FIFA, VISA, JP Morgan, Citigroup all tokenizing their assets on Avalanche blockchain. Pretty interesting in my opinion. I'm staking AVAX at Core for 6-7% APY. Like every other serious crypto, AVAX is also cheap these days at $6-7. My average is $15, so I'd say your timing is real good.

I like Chainlink more than AVAX here. But if you believe in either, yeah, good entries. I just don’t see what AVAX does better than its competitors. It also seems unfocused; constantly switches up what it says is its purpose and direction.

Post is by: talissman_7 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ttwh61/remember_my_post_about_btc_news_trading_being/ A week ago I posted that 2-year dataset showing how HFTs completely front-run BTC macro news in milliseconds. The general consensus in the comments was basically "yeah, manual traders are just exit liquidity" But it got me thinking about mid-caps (like SOL, LINK, AVAX) where the order books are way thinner. I went back to my pipeline and ran the tick data for those specific alts against the exact same news shocks Turns out, there actually is a structural 15 to 30-minute lag. Capital rotation doesn't happen instantly across the board, the lagging order books physically take time to absorb the shock But before you try to trade this, I realized it's a trap if you don't filter it This 15-minute decay window only exists in specific market conditions. If you try playing this lag during a flat or choppy market, the initial price spike just creates a liquidity vacuum and mean-reverts instantly. You just get chopped up To actually isolate the signal, I ended up running a Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (HMM) on the volume and spreads to classify the market into 3 regimes: trending up, trending down, and flat/range-bound. When you filter the news events only through the directional momentum regimes, that 15-minute delayed inertia on alts becomes super clear I threw together a quick Jupyter notebook showing how I calibrate the HMM regimes, along with a 500-row sample dataset so you can test the latency distribution yourself without needing the full database Repo is here if you want to mess around with it: [https://github.com/talisman-ep/cross-asset-latency-hmm.git](https://github.com/talisman-ep/cross-asset-latency-hmm.git) Are any of you guys trading cross-asset lag on lower timeframes, or do you mostly stick to raw price action? Curious how you handle regime filtering when trading news *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Stay out until closer to Q4 most likely -- also don't look at things outside of the top 20 or so tokens (market cap) and I tend to avoid memes in that filter as well. By the time BTC bottoms the ETH/BTC dilation iis probably going to be toward its relative lows which will be interesting for entry. Solana should also see a strong bounce (between now and Q4, SOL will probably be trading in the $30s at some point and that will be the safest entry since its fair value gap will be filled. I admit there is second-hand meme exposure there so there is a double-edged sword but I genuinely like how the system operates. AVAX/LINK will be interesting layer 2 projects to look for entries in and Real-World-Asset markets and aggregators like ONDO may be some of the biggest overall opportunities. Privacy coins/layers like ZCash and ZKsync are already showing decent strength (especially ZEC) in this downtrend and if ZEC can maintain that relative strength with Bitcoin transitioning back into a Bull Market environment, it could have the biggest boom potential of all.

AdFast1121

1. Much better protocols also use blockchain. Bitcoin has no value add. 2. AVAX can settle instantly. Die mad about it 3. And thats extremely slow compared to everything else in market.  4. PoW banning is inevitable to maintain PoS innovation. Already happening globally. BC bans PoW on environmental concerns. Legislatures don't care about 'but maxi'.

dflagella

Look into Circle's Arc L1 that aims to be an economic OS for stablecoin settlement. Existing L1s like ETH won't act as the settlement layer but will interact with it. I'd look at which existing L1 is taking significant market share of tokenization. I've always thought AVAX has potential here

PenguinsInvading

Those are DeFi concept. Let's say you're buyingBTC, ETH, ARB, AVAX and a bunch of other coins for bullrun. Instead of sending them to your hard wallet and hope for 10k% in gains, you use some of your bag to generate even more coins. When I want to swap my ETH for ARB using DEX, there needs to be some ARB and some ETH in the dex so that my request gets filled. Who provides them in the dex? Me, you, whales, ordinary people etc. There has to be enough Liquidity in the asset pool. In DeFi, you can participate in this. You deposit your assets, people use your LP to swap, you get a percentage of the fees. Your assets generate money for you.

Quinthyll

The one thing about this post that's noteworthy is the one most are missing. Quant. The DTCC is going to need interoperability in ways nothing else does, and that's the whole point on the QNT overledger. It's going to be invaluable by the point most realize the want to buy in. Is this a win for XLM? Obviously yes. Does it mean XLM wins and everything else loses? Nope. It doesn't even mean the DTCC won't have other blockchain partners. It just means XLM is the first announced. XRP, SOL, AVAX are almost certainly going to be a part also.

What About Solana and AVAX

blaand01theflipside

Should've bought more. I stake my AVAX with 6% APY, in addition to any gains the next 5-10 years. I'm not taking profit when it peaks, as it releases tax obligations (Norway). If you have the time, don't ever sell.

Buying AVAX. Then trying to DCA on the way down. Now I'm down 53% and thousands

Saffuran

It's not FUD because true FUD is generally baseless (hence the uncertainty portion) pointing out the cyclical nature of Cryptocurrency, the seasonality - which is heavily reinforced by structural data - exists to build certainty and to allow people to invest smarter. Bitcoin (and crypto at large) isn't doing anything it hasn't already done before and in fact it is right on schedule. It's also not FUD to say that 80-90% of all cryptocurrencies are shitcoin scams meant to seperate desperate stupid people from their money. I dabble with small amounts in small projects that I like from time to time but even most of those small projects don't end up making it. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are about the only projects with real staying power - TRON performs well but I really don't like Justin Sun, I am highly skeptical of XRP and Cardano/ADA for different reasons. The only longer-term top-20ish coins I think will survive and grow long term are ZCash (and related assets like ZKS), LINK, and AVAX. The "small" projects that I think are worth dabbling in - but the risk/reward will always be higher with emphasis on the risk - will be things like ONDO, Uniswap (exchanges tend to win long term), and maybe JASMY, depending on how macroeconomics continue to play out in Japan relative to Cryptocurrency. To me, most everything else is higher risk than their peers in this list but with the same level of return (so why take the higher risk), straight up useless memecoins, and lastly just blatant scams like what Trump and his family kept shoving onto the market in 2025 (WLFI, TRUMP, MELANIA.)

I'll give some lesson-learned examples. I once bought and sold BNB between $30-$40 to go all in on another coin. That coin is now down 99%, and if I had kept some BNB, I'd be sitting on a nice profit right now. I once bought several ETH at sub $1K and went all in on another coin. That coin is now down 99%, and if I had kept some ETH, I'd be sitting on decent profit there too. I now diversify my portfolio. I have bought some high risk tokens that are currently down, but I've also kept stuff like AVAX and SOL in my portfolio which have some solid fundamentals and some good upside (IMO) over the coming years. Also, I don't have all my savings in crypto. Also have it in an IRA, 401K, and other stuff.

I feel it’s a good time to buy most crypto right now as it’s down so much. Im stacking all the below every couple of weeks: SOL,TRX,LTC,AVAX,ADA,SUI, MON

If Clarity passes without stablecoin yield, then there is more of a case for alts as a way to seek a return on your money. If there was yield for stablecoins, then there would be less of a reason for anyone to venture into DeFi. I have hopes that AVAX and ALGO will continue to develop together. I also hope that BTC will gain more adoption as a collateral asset after credit blows up in everyone’s face and no one will be able to get unsecured loans.

JaskarSlye

in Android, Google already knows your payments, location, emails, phone calls... I do not see how Binance tracking my -300% loss in AVAX is relevant tbh

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

My friends who chase alts usually split them into “actual project” picks and pure casino meme plays. Stuff like LINK, AVAX, or INJ comes up a lot for higher volatility but still somewhat serious ecosystems. For meme coins, everyone I know treats them like short-term momentum trades, not investments. Feels like the biggest mistake new people make is thinking memes are early retirement tickets instead of basically social sentiment speedruns.

Crypto_future_V

For alts: SUI, TON, or AVAX. For memes: Just small bets on DOGE or PEPE if you want fun volatility. But don’t go heavy most memes are rugs waiting to happen.

morefundsneeded

Yeah SOL, SUI, HYPE, AVAX, BASED, QNT, LINK, etc etc The majority is in the order I typed it

eViator2016

Watch AVAX....NGL, it usually leads the macro-related BTC moves, by a good bit.

dflagella

Thanks, I think Avalanche fails the mostly in the autonomy/centralization categories of the test based on how much involvement Ava Labs has. Do you are ETH as an operating layer of its own but the others more as dependent tokens? I understand the logic on BTC but other than decentralization and autonomous function I don't see how it fulfils smart contract operating system function more than something like AVAX

Grunblau

Chart should be ❌ or ☑️ seems a bit too easy to draw the line anywhere that puts SOL on the “borderline.” We all have our bags, but two of the best chains are always left out of these comparisons. AVAX and ALGO. I do believe that Algorand would likely NOT pass all 5 because of the leadership structure and although ALGO is almost 89% distributed, I do not know how concentrated it is. I wonder if that is why the AF is holding off on releasing the King Safety paper… might need some quick restructuring of a treasury or token release to qualify.

dflagella

Great article. You explain SOL but how does AVAX not meet the tier 1 categorization that ETH meets?

Glyzzza_

Yesss, BTC ETH and SOL some GOLD and AVAX for diversification ☺️

tornavec

If the market is sleeping on AVAX, maybe they're holding out for some future chain? And AVAX just gets left in the dust?

EdgeByContext

The architectural breakdown makes sense, but evaluating AVAX's actual risk/reward profile requires looking past the subnet narrative and into liquidity migration. Tracking bridging volume and TVL growth across these custom subnets offers a much clearer picture of whether institutional adoption is genuinely happening. If developer activity and capital start flowing into specific subnets rather than just pooling on the C-Chain, that provides strong momentum confirmation for the infrastructure thesis. Until that structural shift is visible on-chain, monitoring its open interest during broader market rotations is a practical way to gauge if the narrative is actually driving accumulation.

Bluejumprabbit

If AVAX can turn customization into sticky fees, repeat users, and growing liquidity, the bull case is real.

Dieselpump510

Putting in on LINK and AVAX in addition to BTC and ETH.

Grunblau

“Grandma… trust me, it usually goes through the first time, but some times, on Solana, you just have to try again…” I don’t care if it is AVAX, ALGO, ICP or even XLM. Some competent chain needs to start dominating some of these real world projects so people don’t have to experience the worst chain because it has fake liquidity. BTW… current fees make it cheaper to use PayPal. How do you F’ that up?

GeoSystemsDeveloper

I've been mostly busy building the [HODLings](https://www.geosystemsdev.com/products/hodlings/) tracker lately, so don't have the time to follow all the new alts. I'm interested in the "old-school" alts (ETH, SOL, ZEC, AVAX, ADA, XTZ and XMR). Which alts do you follow?

I diversified my pf in a similar way. Currently, my core holdings are 50% into BTC and ETH, 20% into AVAX and TON because their ecosystems are developing rapidly.10% into Privacy and privacy building coins like XMR, Rose etc. Also a 10% allocated to Launchpad for early exposure to new projects. I'm using Legion quite a lot because allocation based on merit is clear, projects are curate, and good support system. I hold fewer privacy coins due to the high regulatory risk. And the balance 10% is kept as backup

Boniouk84

You can for example load up in btc and eth, and then try to time the top to then catch an altcoin season yes, but you wont know where the top is, and you may not get an altseason as 2024/5 showed us. Best way is to put 50% into btc, 25% i to Eth, 10% into Solana, 10% into others like LINK QNT ADA POL VET AVAX DOT, then 5% throw at crazy memes.

Marshbrother

I'm bag holding AVAX. down a couple thousand. avg cost at 21

SuitImportant9276

As someone who’s been in crypto for 5-6 years, I’d be doing a lot better if I just stuck to BTC. But I was an idiot & put a ton in LINK, HBAR, ADA & AVAX & didn’t sell at the times I should have. Don’t be like me. Buy BTC.

SlowArtPlanet

$40k and chasing max upside? I’d keep it simple. BTC and ETH should still be the core because liquidity flows there first when market wakes up. Then rotate smaller size into high beta names with real attention, not random ghosts. SOL, TON, HYPE, maybe AVAX if momentum returns. Privacy coins can pump hard but narrative comes and goes fast. XRP moves mostly on headlines. Biggest mistake is overdiversifying into 10 bags that do nothing. Better 4 to 5 strong plays with dry powder ready. In this market patience prints more than spraying entries everywhere.

I am looking to diversify my portfolio and need some perspective/advice. I have about $40k to invest into a handful of different coins. My goal is maximize profit, I honestly don't care too much about utility or the project itself, but I am also not interested in shit coins or meme coins. I plan on selling $40k of ETH to re-invest. I was thinking about privacy coins, as they're competing with XMR, they may be promoted in the mainstream overtime, is this valid reasoning? I also might put $10k into Bitcoin because clearly everything else follows BTC. Other projects I've heard good things about are AVAX, XRP, Poly, Ton? What coins are you invested in, and confident that they will continue to go up? Please provide your reasoning. Thank you in advance! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: Electrical-Shape-266 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1sslgj8/everyones_arguing_about_eth_price_and_nobodys/ Was scrolling last night and saw someone ask where ETH would be next year. The comments saying 5000, some saying back to 800. People focused on arguing about price but completely ignored what ETH is actually doing. ETH's biggest problem is slow. It can only handle about 30 transactions per second, it's slow and expensive, everyone knows. But the Ethereum team has two big upgrades planned for 2026 and when those are done it's not just a little bit faster, it's like dozens of times faster. Then there's another one coming in 2027 and by then the whole network should be processing transactions faster than swiping your Visa. Then it won't be slow or expensive to use anymore. Another thing people barely talk about is the ETF side. ETH ETFs already got approved, but the ETH inside them is basically just sitting there and cannot be staked. It is kind of like owning a stock that pays yield, except the fund tells you that yield does not go to you. The SEC has a new chair now and the tone has become a lot softer. If staking gets allowed in 2026, then institutions would not just be buying ETH to hold it. They would be buying something that can also earn yield. And once ETH inside ETFs gets locked up for staking, that means even less supply is out there to be sold. The on chain side kinda interesting too. BlackRock, which is about as big as it gets, chose Ethereum for tokenized assets. Not because ETH is the fastest chain, but because it has been around the longest and people trust it not to break. Stablecoins are still huge on Ethereum too, and every transfer uses ETH in some way. That is why I do not really buy the idea that ETH is only being propped up by speculation. There are still real things happening on it every day. And all those ETH killers everyone was hyped about? DOT ADA AVAX? Go look at them now. Meanwhile stuff that left Ethereum is coming back,like Polymarket and Synthetix. I was also watching the order book on bydfi for a while and buyers were way heavier than sellers. Price got down at one point and bounced right back up. Thats means down there is buying everything. I honestly don't know where ETH will be next year but it really feels like it's about to make some big moves *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The main ones (ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX) and the privacy ones (ZEC, XMR)

EDYJ94

AVAX

Saffuran

BTC ETH SOL are about where I'm comfortable for "safer" assets in the space. Others like LINK and AVAX are higher up the risk curve but I see utility/value in them also.

randallmauel

Thank you for break down. Im buying AVAX and LINK as well as BTC, SOL, and ETH.

jekpopulous2

You’re missing the point. Nakamoto Coefficient is deeply flawed as it doesn’t account for stakes being divided at protocol level… it just lumps all these independent validator sets together. It was created by Balaji Srinivasan who was one of the largest early backers of Solana to make their network seem decentralized. If you update the formula to account for things DHT the math changes significantly. You may not like ETH but the fact is that even if 90% of all ETH was staked with LIDO they couldn’t attack the network. I’m not a maximalist (I hold several L1’s) - I’m just trying to educate you on why that “2” figure isn’t accurate. Also… the next upgrade rolling out in a few months (Glamsterdam) literally enables quantum-resistant addresses and with PEERDAS (Hegota) L1 ETH will be doing 10,000 TPS on layer 1 by the end of the year. It’s far from the fastest chain but it’s scaling just fine. If you prefer AVAX or Sonic or whatever… that’s fine. There are plenty of chains to choose from, but nothing you said about Ethereum is true.

GreenStretch

I kept wondering about four years ago the last few days and finally checked. [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/) BTC, BNB, and XRP are up from then. ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, and DOT are down. Tether and USDC were in the top 12. And Terra was #9 at $92.58.

blaand01theflipside

AVAX, no doubt. Blockchain for businesses, retail, RWA, gaming, banking. Got it all. We got BTC halving in 2028 and AVAX escrow is done by 2030. Will make a huge impact. And patience is still a virtue.
