Hive belongs in top 3 imo. BTC, ETH then Hive. I remove stablecoins form rankings, so tether could be first and it wouldn't matter.
Chainlink is arguably more important than hive, but they still have a lot of work to do to become an oracle for every chain.
Polkadot Cardano have nothing to show yet. BNB is centralized. Doesn't mean those coins are not a good buy (I think they're a good bet, and own chainlink and BNB for example), just that we're still waiting for things to go right in the future.
Cosmos, uniswap are only valuable because of governance, I'm not a fan of that.
Don't get me started on litecoin, dogecoin, monero, etc...
Hive needs more adoption to start rising, and it also needs to face a lot of profit taking. No matter fundamentals, people will sell after a 10X. So getting into the top 40 won't be easy, but long term it should be, unless other coins start showing results.
