Market commentator Tulip King asserted that investors should be wary of strategies that focus on large cryptocurrencies like XRP and Cardano (ADA) in the current bull market. He believes that only 5 to 10 cryptocurrencies will be able to generate strong returns in this cycle, and that large recognition and strong communities do not necessarily lead to high returns.

The Crypto Basic reported on May 11 (local time) that Tulip King, in a recent commentary, assessed this cycle as one of the easiest bull markets investors have experienced, yet stated that only a very few assets have the highest upside potential. He mentioned major cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), Aave, and Solana (SOL), in addition to XRP and Cardano, as assets to avoid.

While acknowledging that these projects maintain strong ecosystems and loyal communities, Tulip King pointed out that if investors overly concentrate on these assets, they might miss other high-growth opportunities in the market. The Crypto Basic reported that an awareness is spreading among some traders that this cycle might favor selective high-growth assets over existing large-cap cryptocurrencies.

According to the article, the current values of XRP and Cardano are estimated at $89.58 billion and $10.04 billion, respectively. An analysis suggests that large assets already valued in the tens of billions of dollars may have limited upside potential compared to smaller or emerging projects.

Tulip King did not disclose a specific list of cryptocurrencies that will dominate this cycle. However, The Crypto Basic explained that he has shown strong support for Zcash (ZEC), Toncoin (TON), and Hyperliquid. He previously suggested that investors could move funds from XRP, Cardano, and Ethereum to Zcash and Toncoin.

Tulip King believes that such a shift in funds could reshape the top 20 rankings of cryptocurrencies. He argues that even without a large influx of new capital into the market, a movement of funds from existing large assets to alternative projects could allow some altcoins to perform relatively stronger.

However, The Crypto Basic noted that Tulip King's statements are claims based on opinions and forecasts, not confirmed market trends. XRP and Cardano remain among the most well-known cryptocurrencies globally, and both projects maintain active development ecosystems, strong communities, and sufficient exchange liquidity.

This debate highlights the difference in market perspectives on what choices investors will make between large, stable assets and high-risk, high-growth assets as the bull market progresses into its later stages. The Crypto Basic stated that whether XRP and Cardano underperform the market average or perform strongly again will depend on adoption trends, liquidity shifts, macroeconomic environment, and investor sentiment.
