Altcoins are gearing up to mint the next generation of crypto winners through 2026.



Market cycles tell a compelling story:

• 2017–2018: The alt boom delivered gains ranging from +2,000% to +10,000%
• 2020–2021: Another surge saw returns between +500% and +3,000%
• 2024–2026: By comparison, a +300% to +1,500% move forms a conservative baseline

Notice the pattern? Each cycle brings substantial wealth creation, though the magnitude tends to moderate as markets mature. The conditions are aligning for altcoins to replay this script—just with different protagonists and market dynamics. For traders positioning ahead, the risk-reward setup warrants serious attention.

Wow, the surge in 2017 was really crazy. Now a 300-1500% increase is considered conservative...

Enough with the hype, 2026 is still far away. Let's just survive this bear market first.

Is 300 to 1500 really considered a conservative baseline? Forget it, I'll get on this time. It feels like some coins are about to take off again.

NGL, the return rate this time has dropped quite sharply... Can it really turn around?
