According to @CryptoKing4Ever, the top 10 list shifted from BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, EOS, LTC, ADA, XLM, MIOTA, TRX in January 2018 to BTC, ETH, USDT, XRP, BNB, USDC, SOL, TRX, DOGE, ADA in January 2026, underscoring rotation and survivorship bias in crypto leadership (source: @CryptoKing4Ever on X, Jan 5, 2026). The author notes BTC and ETH remain the market leaders through both periods, indicating persistent dominance of large-cap benchmarks for core allocation (source: @CryptoKing4Ever on X, Jan 5, 2026). The author highlights SOL and BNB as core infrastructure plays in 2026, contrasting with EOS and MIOTA fading from prominence versus 2018, signaling the need to reassess altcoin exposure over cycles (source: @CryptoKing4Ever on X, Jan 5, 2026). The author advises thinking long term and positioning for the decade rather than a single cycle, guiding traders toward a durable, benchmark-centric strategy aligned with structural winners (source: @CryptoKing4Ever on X, Jan 5, 2026).
