Crypto themes ranked against Bitcoin, as of 6 Nov 2026

How it is built

## How is the crypto board ranked?

Every theme is equal-weighted: no coin counts for more than any other here.

- Confirmed moves come first: a theme already breaking out or leading, whose members confirm it in their own trailing 12-month protocol revenue, with participation still widening. Everything else follows on the same four readings: where the theme sits in a breakout, whether its members confirm it, how many of them are participating, and its two-year line against Bitcoin. Nothing is dropped for failing the first cut; it ranks lower. Every figure on a card is read from the same 6 Nov 2026 build, so no two of them are from different weeks.
- Counts like "14 of 31" are headcounts: one coin, one vote. Market value is used only to decide who is large enough to be included and to sort the large, mid and small ladder, never to weight a number on this page.
- Weekly member returns are capped at −90% and +100% before averaging, so one bad print cannot set the level of a whole theme.
- The small bar beside each theme is its lead over Bitcoin over 13 weeks, one bar per week for the last 26 weeks. "Beating" counts members 5 points or more ahead of Bitcoin over three months, with the change over four weeks.

Every figure is read from the same 6 Nov 2026 build
