More than 30 cryptocurrencies posted stronger 90-day returns than Bitcoin, whose 16.6% advance still left it behind a sizeable group of digital-asset peers in the latest comparison.
Thirty-one assets beat BTC over the period. The figure is a headcount of outperformers, not a measure of how wide the return gap was.
The separate altcoin gauge counted 33 outperformers within a 50-asset basket. That reading describes its own tracked group, while the 31 figure counts assets beating BTC in the current 90-day comparison.
At 12:14 p.m. ET (17:14 UTC) Thursday, Bitcoin traded at $71,670, down 3.43% over 24 hours, based on CoinGecko and exchange spot data. That 24-hour change is a shorter-term reading than the 90-day performance measure.
An asset can rise in price and still underperform BTC over the same period, as EconoTimes' earlier coverage of Bitcoin's market share and the altcoin index explained.
