2021 was the best year for the crypto market. As more people are inclined towards alternate sources of income, the cryptocurrency market has seen demand like never before. Though Bitcoin has always managed to draw eyeballs from everywhere around, there are other cryptocurrencies as well, that stand the potential to make it into your investment portfolio. But since from the beginning of 2022, many cryptocurrencies have seen a huge fall and if it continues for forthcoming months or years, these cryptocurrencies might disappear in the near future. This article features the top 10 cryptocurrencies that will go extinct in 2030 or beyond.

Terra

How can we forget about the famous Terra Luna crash? Terra is one of those cryptocurrencies that are the reason of crypto market turns bearish. Touching its ATH of US$118 in April to going completely zero in May 2022, Terra has seen it all. So, if you see this cryptocurrency disappearing by the end of 2030, don’t be surprised.

TerraUSD

Volatility is nothing new in the crypto market, but the collapse of algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) sent a shockwave through the entire sector. The price of TerraUSD plummeted far below its targeted US$1 peg. Luna, the Terra blockchain’s native currency, also dropped nearly 97% in the 24 hours to 4:30 pm ET Thursday, May 12. It’s almost been 4 months and still, there is no sign of progress with this cryptocurrency.

Zcash

Zcash was launched by one of the most respected technical teams in the world. Zcash is the ‘https of blockchains,’ protecting your freedom to save and spend as you like. Zcash was the first project to implement zk-SNARKs, a novel form of zero-knowledge cryptography that gives its users the strongest privacy available in any digital currency. Multiple, independent organizations are funded to innovate on Zcash.

Cosmos

Cosmos (ATOM) is a cryptocurrency that powers an ecosystem of blockchains designed to scale and interoperate with each other. The team aims to “create an Internet of Blockchains, a network of blockchains able to communicate with each other in a decentralized way.” Cosmos is a proof-of-stake chain.

ApeCoin

ApeCoin is an ERC-20 governance and utility token used within the APE Ecosystem to empower and incentivize decentralized community building at the forefront of web3.

ApeCoin holders govern themselves via the decentralized governance framework controlling the ApeCoin DAO and vote on how the ApeCoin DAO Ecosystem Fund should be used. The APE Foundation administers proposals agreed upon by ApeCoin holders.

Elrond

Elrond is a blockchain protocol that seeks to offer extremely fast transaction speeds by using sharding. The project describes itself as a technology ecosystem for the new internet, which includes fintech, decentralized finance, and the Internet of Things. The blockchain has a native token known as eGold or EGLD, that is used for paying network fees, staking, and rewarding validators.

Avalanche

Avalanche (AVAX), the native token of the smart-contracts platform led by former Cornell professor Emin Gün Sirer. AVAX price sees investors fleeing for the exit, putting crypto in a downward spiral. Avalanche price is suffering from the repercussions of the current dismal market mood, from which traders still need to make money. Today’s bearish action now puts the token 80% down from its all-time high of US$146.22 recorded back in November 2021.

Cardano

Several factors can explain this price drop and why the Cardano price is not growing. The crashing crypto market is the first reason. Interruptions by the FED over the past few months have crashed the money market, including the crypto market. FED is also the reason why Cardano and the crypto market at large are bearish today. The other big reason why the Cardano price is not growing is the competition. Exciting new projects are offering better returns and attracting the crypto community.

Uniswap

Uniswap is a popular decentralized trading protocol, known for its role in facilitating automated trading of decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens. An example of an automated market maker (AMM), Uniswap launched in November 2018 but has gained considerable popularity this year thanks to the DeFi phenomenon and associated surge in token trading. Uniswap aims to keep token trading automated and completely open to anyone who holds tokens while improving the efficiency of trading on the blockchain versus that of traditional exchanges.

Near Protocol

Near Protocol is a well-known altcoin following BTC as a layer-one blockchain designed as a community-run cloud computing platform. It also helps to eliminate limitations that create low transaction speeds, low throughput, as well as poor interoperability. This altcoin is known for offering an ideal environment for decentralized applications and creating a user-friendly platform for crypto investors.
