Citing Coinotag, altcoins lacking Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) or Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) may face severe losses in 2026 as Bitcoin dominance grows. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju warned that tokens without such liquidity mechanisms risk 70-90% declines from 2024 peaks. Altcoin liquidity has sharply declined, with over $600 billion wiped from the sector in Q4. DATs and ETFs are seen as potential lifelines, but critics argue they can also amplify sell-offs during downturns. The altcoin season index is at 24, signaling a strong Bitcoin position.
