With the crypto economy cruising at $3.33 trillion and bitcoin hovering just under 5% from its record high, plenty of other digital assets are still playing catch-up on the road to fresh all-time highs.

Altcoins Flatline as Bitcoin Hovers Below Record Territory

It’s been 44 days since bitcoin (BTC) blasted to its weighted all-time high of $111,814 per coin on May 22, 2025. In the past 24 hours, bitcoin has bounced between $107,933 and $108,295—leaving it just about 3.3% shy of that peak at $108,108 per unit. Ethereum (ETH), meanwhile, is changing hands at $2,514—and at that level, ether is still trailing 48.4% below its all-time high (ATH) of $4,878 set on Nov. 10, 2021.

XRP is priced at $2.21, placing it 34.8% beneath its ATH of $3.40 recorded on Jan. 15, 2025. BNB has held up a bit better than ether and XRP, sitting at $656 per coin—just 17% off its peak of $788. Next up is solana (SOL), trading at $147—a steep 49% drop from its high of $293 set on Jan. 19, 2025. Tron (TRX) is also in the red, priced at $0.283 per coin, down 34.3% from its Dec. 4, 2024 ATH of $0.431.

The ninth-largest crypto by market cap and the original meme coin, dogecoin (DOGE), is changing hands at $0.163. But like ether, DOGE hasn’t touched a new high in four years. Its record of $0.731 was set on May 8, 2021, leaving it about 77.6% below that level. Cardano (ADA) holds the tenth-largest spot, but it’s the hardest hit in the top ten—down 81.5% from its ATH.

A number of other tokens are also far from their glory days. One standout, hyperliquid (HYPE), notched an ATH of $45.57 on June 16, 2025, but has since dropped 14.1%. The sui token (SUI) peaked at $5.35 on Jan. 4, 2025, and is currently trading 46% below that high. As momentum shifts across the crypto market, the race to reclaim—or redefine—new all-time highs is far from over.
