Over the years, the crypto market has been playing out different stories each year.



2014 was the stage for DOGE, 2015 saw XRP take the spotlight. Ethereum emerged in 2016, and Cardano(ADA) became the focus in 2017. Binance Coin(BNB) gained popularity in 2018, followed by Link taking over in 2019. 2020 was the era of Polkadot(DOT), and Shiba Inu(SHIB) created a wave of hype in 2021.

The market hasn't stopped—2022 saw the rise of GMX, 2023 sparked discussions with PEPE, and 2024 WIF set new topic heat. Entering 2025, ZEC has once again attracted attention.

Some summarize the pattern behind this: the market's focus is constantly shifting, hot topics are continuously rotating, and no coin can stay in the spotlight forever. So, who will be the next to catch the market's eye? We look forward to the story of 2026.
DOGE-0,57%
XRP-0,38%
ETH2,03%
ADA-0,14%

Really? Looking at this rotation speed, it feels like everything bought last year was a waste.

Honestly, the speed of rotation is getting faster and faster. It feels like last year's dark horse will be ignored next year. Chasing hot topics until the end, most people are still the ones getting harvested. Is ZEC popular again now? Is this nostalgia or is there real potential? Who will rise to prominence in 2026? I bet five dollars that it will be some unknown small coin suddenly surging. It seems there are no eternal winners, only eternal bagholders. To put it simply, it's all about rotation. Before the next hot topic appears, it's best to hold on to what you have. This pace is so fast that if you can't keep up, you'll get beaten.

Rotation system, to put it simply, is just a rhythm of harvesting profits repeatedly, changing up the tricks every year.

真的,轮转轮转又轮转,现在玩的都是追风游戏... 说得没错但没意思啊,还不如研究下规律赚钱呢 又是PEPE又是WIF,感觉都在复制去年的剧本 ZEC火了?这币我都忘了... 2026还远呢,先看好眼下的不被割就行
