Larger-Cap Alts in Red But Not DOGE

Most of the largest cap altcoins also enjoyed the past several days with new all-time highs. Such was the case with Ethereum, which skyrocketed to roughly $2,550 for its latest record in the past 24 hours. However, similarly to its leader, ETH has declined steeply by more than $140 and currently sits around $2,400.

Despite intraday pumps, Binance Coin, Ripple, Cardano, Polkadot, and Uniswap are also well in the red. On the other hand, Litecoin (4%) and Chainlink are slightly in the green.

However, Dogecoin is once again the most spectacular performer. Everyone’s favorite meme coin skyrocketed by more than 100% earlier today and touched $0.3 for a new all-time high. Despite retracing to $0.25 in the following hours, DOGE has reaffirmed its spot in the top ten and is currently the 8th largest crypto by market cap.
