Long Live PEPE

It's measurable, so I measured it. Top 100 by market cap, minus stablecoins and wrapped or staked copies, every coin priced in BTC instead of dollars: \- Last 30 days: 20 of 48 beat BTC, and the median alt is down about 3% against it. So yes, lately. \- The two months before that, late July to late September: 35 of 51 beat BTC, median up about 6%. That stretch went the other way. \- Last 12 months: 13 of 44 beat BTC, median down about 14%. Zcash and Monero are among the few clear winners. \- Longer run: the median alt is 88% below its all-time high in BTC terms, and 30 of 65 set that high before 2022. Of the 11 that made a new high against BTC in the last 12 months, 10 only appeared in 2024 or later, so they had no old high to beat. (Counts differ: a few coins are too new for the 12-month window, and some, like DOGE, SHIB and PEPE, are priced too small in BTC for clean daily ratios, so they are left out of the window stats.) So "lately" depends on the window. The last month is weak, the two months before it weren't, and the multi-year gap is the bigger story. None of that says what happens next. Caveat on the cut: I work at Coinpaprika and this comes from our ticker data, so if you'd draw the alt list differently, say how and I'll rerun it.
