Altcoins Pull Ahead as Bitcoin Hits Fresh High but Lags in Gains

21.09.2026 · Cryptonews

Bitcoin crossed $81,000 over the weekend and set a new year-to-date peak, yet it rose only 29 % over the past 90 days. In the same stretch, 13 tokens from the top 100 more than doubled.


Coinmarketcap’s Altcoin Season Index climbed to 50 on 21 September from 23 on 1 September. The threshold for an altcoin season is 75 % of large caps beating Bitcoin.


Standouts include PONS, up 6,000 %, Zcash at +250 %, and both Uniswap and Raydium near +200 %. Ethereum gained 57 %, while several meme tokens and Gram dropped between 19 % and 46 %.


Observers say the market is seeing fast-rotating pockets of strength rather than a broad altseason.
