An array of niche cryptocurrencies have collapsed in price following the news that Ripple is embroiled in a regulatory battle with the SEC over XRP.
Cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin are typically referred to as "alt coins," and many of these assets are susceptible to being pulled up or down by major market movements. XRP's price got cut in half following the SEC's announcement of action against Ripple, and many other alt coins are feeling the burn, too.
Take HEDG, the coin that powers Hedge Trade, a place for traders and investors to share their knowledge. Per CoinMarketCap, the HEDG coin is down by over 30% during the last seven days, and fell by 6.36% today. Its market cap is $143 million.
Or ABBC Coin, which trades on small-time exchanges like BitZ, CoinTiger, ZBG and DigiFinex. Despite a near 3% uptick during the last 24 hours, the alt coin's value has dropped by almost 15% during the last week.
Another striking example is Nano, an altcoin that made headlines in the UK earlier this year as a cryptocurrency you could earn while gaming at a bar in the North East of England. During the last week, Nano's price has dropped approximately 11%.
While the general altcoin outlook is pretty bleak, some are rising up against the grain.
You can now earn cryptocurrency by playing space invaders IRL. Yes, really. The retro space invaders arcade machine is located in the Pixel Bar bar in Leeds, UK. It's free to play the game and rewards are paid out in the cryptocurrency Nano (NANO). But how did this crypto-focused machine come about? The space invaders machine in the Pixel bar in Leeds.

For example, SwissBork's CHSB token increased by about 1% in the past day and 57% in the last week. Swissbord, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, aims to decentralize wealth management. And in this crazy market, it kinda has.
It will be interesting to see how the altcoin industry reacts to any further updates from the SEC.

Despite President Trump ratcheting up his trade war Wednesday, Bitcoin is holding steady. That comes even after U.S. equities and the dollar got hit hard over the last couple days. The biggest digital coin's price was recently at $82,876 per coin, CoinGecko shows. It's effectively even over the last seven days while the S&P 500 just had its worst day since June 2020. Experts told Decrypt that the asset had shown "impressive resilience" in the face of Trump's so-called Liberation Day, with the as...
