Forget the Crypto Boom, Enter the "Zombie" Coins: Forbes Calls Out XRP, ADA, LTC in $2.4 Trillion Market

With a massive crypto market, not every token is thriving. Forbes identifies 20 "zombie blockchains" like Ripple ($XRP ), Cardano ($ADA ), and Litecoin ($LTC ) that keep high prices despite lacking real-world use.

These "undead" tokens see continuous trading but offer little to no user benefit. Many survive on speculation and past funding, not on fulfilling their purpose.

For instance, Ripple's #xrp aimed to challenge SWIFT payments but mainly relies on speculative trading, not actual network usage.

Analysts say XRP's market value of $36 billion is "essentially worthless" compared to its lack of utility.

Similar concerns surround Litecoin, #bitcoin Cash, and others – their value hinges more on speculation than actual use.

"Ethereum killers" like #Cardano (ADA) are another concern. Despite advancements, they struggle with user adoption and developer interest.

#ForbesFeatured  also highlights the lack of accountability in these blockchain projects. This makes it difficult to assess their health, raising questions about "zombie coins" like Ethereum Classic, which still trades despite security breaches.
