Negative correlation with Bitcoin

It can be an awkward exercise to find liquid, negatively correlated altcoins in the cryptocurrency market.

The strongest negatively correlated crypto tokens (returns in USD) in a long term are:

DASH
BTC -0.02

Check correlations with Bitcoin or use a custom form to check BTC changes in correlation coefficient with other token.

Stable coins or non-crypto assets can also be considered for hedging positions.
