Across those ten assets, the average decline is approximately 42.7%, based on our calculation.

Cardano Loses Nearly Half Its Value in 2026

Cardano’s 48.04% YTD decline makes $ADA the third-worst performer in Gemini’s selection.

$ADA currently trades near $0.175, according to CoinMarketCap, after continued weakness through October and November.

The selloff has also been visible in derivatives markets. The Crypto Basic recently reported that Cardano funding turned negative even while most Binance $ADA accounts remained long, while shrinking open interest and long liquidations have accompanied the broader decline.

$ADA has underperformed $XRP by 4.61 percentage points so far in Gemini’s 2026 comparison.

$XRP Down 43.43% as Price Trades Near $1.05

$XRP’s 43.43% decline places it fourth on Gemini’s list.

CoinMarketCap currently places $XRP around $1.05, with the asset down roughly 25% over the past 30 days and trading between $1.04 and $1.10 over the latest 24 hours.

Recent weakness has pushed $XRP into oversold territory. The Crypto Basic’s Nov. 10 Price Desk recorded daily RSI at 26.69 as $XRP established a fresh 60-session low.

The decline has occurred despite continued developments across Ripple and the $XRP Ledger, reinforcing the disconnect between ecosystem activity and short-term token performance.

$BCH and $DOT Record the Deepest Losses

Bitcoin Cash stands out with the steepest decline at 61.76%, roughly 8.7 percentage points worse than second-place Polkadot.

$BCH currently trades near $230, leaving the asset more than 94% below its historical peak.

Polkadot, meanwhile, trades around $0.84 after its 53.03% YTD decline. CoinMarketCap data places $DOT roughly 98% below its 2021 all-time high.

Even the least-negative asset in Gemini’s list, Kaspa, has still fallen more than 30% in 2026.

The ranking therefore captures how severe the year has been for several established altcoins. However, these percentages are year-to-date snapshots and will continue changing with prices through the remainder of 2026.
