Jinse Finance reported that, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, it is currently estimated that 38% of altcoin prices are near their historical lows, which is even worse than the market crash following FTX. He stated that the current market is "unfavorable" for risk assets, with the cryptocurrency market bearing the brunt of this risk-off sentiment, adding: "By comparison, this indicator reached 35% in April 2025 and 37.8% after the FTX crash.
