Gemini, a major U.S. crypto exchange, has named ten large crypto assets that posted some of the steepest losses of 2026. Bitcoin Cash leads the list with a 61.76% year-to-date decline. Polkadot is second at 53.03%, Cardano third at 48.04%, XRP fourth at 43.43%, and Dogecoin fifth at 42.38%. Across the ten assets, the average decline is about 42.7%, based on the calculation shared with the ranking. Even Kaspa, the least negative name on the list, is still down more than 30% in 2026.
Cardano and XRP lose ground
Cardano trades near $0.175 after continued weakness through October and November. The 48.04% drop makes ADA the third-worst performer in Gemini’s selection. The selloff has also shown up in derivatives. Funding turned negative even while most Binance ADA accounts stayed long, while open interest shrank and long liquidations followed. ADA has underperformed XRP by 4.61 percentage points in the 2026 comparison.
XRP sits around $1.05, down roughly 25% over the past 30 days and trading between $1.04 and $1.10 in the latest 24 hours. The weakness pushed the token into oversold territory. The Crypto Basic recorded a daily RSI of 26.69 on Nov. 10 as XRP set a fresh 60-session low. The move came despite continued development across Ripple and the XRP Ledger. That gap between network activity and short-term price action has been hard to ignore.
Bitcoin Cash and Polkadot lead the declines
Bitcoin Cash has the steepest drop at 61.76%, about 8.7 percentage points worse than Polkadot. BCH trades near $230, leaving it more than 94% below its historical peak. Polkadot trades around $0.84 after a 53.03% YTD decline. CoinMarketCap data places DOT roughly 98% below its 2021 all-time high. The ranking captures how severe the year has been for several older altcoins.
Year-to-date figures will keep moving
These percentages are year-to-date snapshots and will change with prices through the rest of 2026. Gemini’s list does not predict a recovery or another leg lower. For now, the numbers point to broad weakness across several established tokens rather than a single isolated event. I think traders will watch funding rates, open interest, and RSI levels for signs of a shift, but the current picture remains weak.
