America holds roughly 38% of global Bitcoin mining capacity, and the 
specialized hardware powering that position comes overwhelmingly from Chinese 
manufacturers. Senators Bill Cassidy and Cynthia Lummis introduced the Mined 
in America Act on Mar. 30 to address that gap, proposing certification, 
domestic manufacturing support, and the codification of President Donald 
Trump&#8217;s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve […]

Bottom Confirmed? Bitcoin Ends March in the Green as Analyst Forecasts $60K–$84K Range

There are now over 47 million cryptocurrencies in existence. That number alone 
may explain a lot of what is happening to prices of altcoins right now.

Altcoins: A Market Spread Too Thin Blockchain networks have become token 
factories. Solana hosts more than 22 million tokens. Base accounts for over 18 
million more. BNB Smart Chain adds another 4 million on top of that. With that 
much supply chasing a limited pool of investor money, most of these assets 
simply cannot attract enough buyers to hold their value. Analysts call it 
liquidity dilution — capital spread too thin to support the crowd. That 
structural problem is now showing up in the numbers in a dramatic way. Data 
from CryptoQuant shows that over 40% of all altcoins are currently trading at 
or near their all-time lows. More than 40% of Altcoins near All-Time Lows 
“This is even higher than during the previous bear market, which peaked at 
~38%… However, when such extreme underperformance appears, it can also create 
very attractive opportunities.” – By @Darkfost_Coc pic.twitter.com/XvAmKiKyyQ 
— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 30, 2026 That figure surpasses the 
previous bear market peak of around 38%, making this cycle the worst on record 
for altcoin performance. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost put it bluntly. 
Altcoins, he said, have never faced this kind of pressure in the current 
cycle. Staggering Losses The losses across individual coins are staggering. 
Bitcoin has fallen roughly 45% from its all-time high — painful, but modest 
compared to what has happened further down the market cap rankings. XRP has 
shed 60% from its peak. Solana sits 70% below its high. Cardano has collapsed 
90% from where it once traded. Some smaller assets are in even worse shape. 
VeChain is down approximately 98% from its record price and is hovering just 
above an all-time low. Ethena hit a new all-time low recently, last trading 
around $0.09. Arbitrum and SUI are both sitting at levels where a further drop 
would push them into all-time low territory. Macroeconomic uncertainty and 
geopolitical tensions have added weight to an already fragile market. Risk 
assets across the board have taken hits, and crypto — altcoins above all — has 
absorbed some of the heaviest blows. Related Reading: 8.25M XRP Exit Long-Term

Bitcoin&#8217;s relative steadiness compared to the rest of the market has drawn 
attention. While it is not immune to the selling pressure, its decline has 
been far less severe than what altcoins have experienced. That gap between 
Bitcoin and the broader crypto market is a defining feature of this particular 
downturn. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
