Ripple (available on Binance) (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and NEM (XEM): one of these coins has dropped the most since 2018 started. Which coin do you think it is?

The crypto market has been all over the place since 2018 started. Some coins have risen. Some coins have plummeted. The industry itself has been put through the grindstone. Crypto ads are being banned left, right, and center by many major companies. Are we getting regulations or aren’t we? There are a lot of questions floating around about the future of crypto. While we can’t answer where crypto will go, we can answer where it’s been.

I was curious to see what coin had dropped the most since 2018 began, so I started doing some calculations. I looked only at the coins that are currently listed as the top 20 cryptocurrencies, using the token’s selling price at the time of writing compared to its price listed from the beginning of the year. This means that there may be other coins outside of the current top 20 that lost more. All data was taken from CoinMarketCap.

Let’s dig in! Which coin lost the most, and why?
