Altcoin Wheel
Spin the wheel and get a random altcoin — no Bitcoin, no Ethereum.
Press Spin. Every coin on the wheel has the same chance.
Your cryptocurrencies
The altcoin wheel picks one of twenty cryptocurrencies at random, starting below Bitcoin and Ethereum. It is a random picker for the part of the market where the case for one coin over another is hardest to make.
What counts as an altcoin here
Altcoin means everything that is not Bitcoin. In practice almost everyone using the word also means "not Ethereum", because those two dominate whatever list you were looking at and neither is what you were trying to choose between. So this wheel starts at rank three.
Twenty segments, taken from the same ranking the main wheel uses, minus the leading two and topped up with whatever moves into range behind them. Stablecoins and wrapped tokens are gone for the usual reason. The ranking date sits under the wheel, because order in this stretch of the market genuinely does move.
This is the region where an argument for one coin over its neighbour gets hardest to make, and where a coin flip is therefore least unreasonable. It is still a coin flip.
One consequence of dropping the leaders is worth saying out loud: the coins left are smaller, and smaller coins move further and faster in both directions. Nothing on this page knows or cares about that, which is precisely the problem with letting it choose. The wheel is here to end an argument you were having with yourself, not to stand in for the reading you have not done yet.

Questions
Which altcoins are on this wheel?
All 20 of them are printed under the wheel as ranked on 21 August 2026: BNB, XRP, SOL, TRX, HYPE, DOGE, ZEC, LINK, LEO, ADA, XMR, XLM, BCH, CC, LTC, GRAM, SHIB, HBAR, SUI and AVAX. Stablecoins and wrapped tokens are left off, and you can replace the whole list in Custom mode.
Why are Bitcoin and Ethereum missing?
Because "altcoin" means the alternatives to them. Leaving them on would make the two most predictable answers the two most likely ones, which is the opposite of what this wheel is for. Spin the main crypto wheel if you want them included.
Are altcoins riskier than Bitcoin?
They are generally more volatile and have shorter histories, but that is a question about investing and this page is a random picker with no prices and no view. Read a source that has one before putting money anywhere.
