New ‘Altseason’ Visualized: Top 10 Cryptos Outperforming Bitcoin
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, have started to record large gains across the board. Some small-cap coins have seen triple-digit percentage gains in recent weeks. But several larger-cap cryptocurrencies have also been posting serious gains such as VeChain (VET), Stellar (XLM), Cardano (ADA) and Chainlink (LINK).

Top ten top performers in the crypto market in the past week

In the past week, VET, XLM, ADA, ALGO, LINK, BSV, ATOM, XRP, CRO and ETC outperformed the rest of the market including Bitcoin, which gained just 1.13% during the period. 

The chart below illustrates the biggest gainers of the past seven days for cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of $700 million or more.

“Today we’re announcing that we are exploring the addition of a range of new assets. As part of the exploratory process customers may see public-facing APIs and other signs that we are conducting engineering work to potentially support these assets.”

Stellar and Cardano are set to see major protocol updates, with Cardano’s hard fork scheduled to activate on July 30. The hype around protocol upgrades and new product releases have buoyed the sentiment around top cryptocurrencies in recent weeks.

Other crypto assets, like Chainlink, for instance, have recently surpassed their record highs after a strong month in June. The interest around LINK increased after it entered a price discovery phase. Price discovery is a technical term for when an asset surpasses its all-time high into uncharted territory.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin — fueled by a spike in interest among TikTok users — was the best performing cryptocurrency among coins with a market cap below $700 million. It achieved a two-year high, prompting the @Dogecoin Twitter account to warn users and to “be smart” when it comes to the fear of missing out (FOMO) trend.

Why altcoins are seemingly starting to see positive sentiment

Generally, the strengthening sentiment around altcoins seems to derive from two factors. First, ETH has been performing strongly against the U.S. dollar. Historically, ETH rallies coincided with altcoin uptrends. In the last four months, the…
