Only these nine cryptocurrency tokens are nearer to their all-time highs compared to Bitcoin at this moment.
Only nine non-stable tokens are nearer to ATH than Bitcoin as market damage remains focused elsewhere
Bitcoin is currently 43.26% below its all-time high. At first glance, this statistic serves as a reminder of an incomplete recovery. In relative terms, it positions Bitcoin more favorably than the majority of the market.
A real-time CryptoSlate market snapshot indicates BTC at $71,606 compared to an ATH of $126,198.
When excluding stablecoins and gold-backed tokens, only nine assets in the table are closer to their peak than Bitcoin: UNUS SED LEO, Sky, Kite, Canton Network, TRON, Hyperliquid, MemeCore, Siren, and Stable. This is a limited exception list in a market still characterized by significant peak-to-current damage.

The nine assets do not belong to a single category. Some are sufficiently large and liquid to support a serious discussion on relative strength. Others are newer, less liquid, or more structurally unique. This distinction clarifies the leaderboard: Bitcoin remains significantly below its peak, yet its drawdown baseline still surpasses that of nearly the entire non-stable market.
This baseline currently stands at 43.26%. Any token with a smaller drawdown than this has retained more of its cycle advance than BTC. Only nine names in the snapshot meet this criterion. All others have already fallen further from their peak than Bitcoin.
The list starts with LEO, which is only 5.53% below its ATH. Then the gap widens. Sky is 24.33% below peak. Kite is 24.56% below. Canton Network is 28.06% below. TRON is 29.77% below. Hyperliquid is 31.10% below. MemeCore is 37.08% below. Siren is 39.18% below. Stable is 39.70% below. Bitcoin follows at 43.26%.
This sequence illustrates where resilience is concentrated and where it begins to diminish. LEO stands in its own category. Sky and Kite occupy a separate area in the mid-20s. Canton, TRON, and Hyperliquid form the next tier in the high-20s to low-30s.
MemeCore, Siren, and Stable maintain a slight advantage over BTC. Bitcoin then serves as the dividing line between the short exception list and the remainder of the market.

Bitcoin continues to experience a significant drawdown. The broader market is experiencing more
The exclusions of stablecoins and gold-backed tokens are straightforward. Stablecoins are built around price stability. Gold-backed tokens reflect gold performance. Neither category provides a clear indication of crypto-native risk retention from the cycle peak.
Once these categories are removed, the leaderboard becomes more relevant and engaging.
Within this refined set, the comparison quickly shifts toward peer quality. LEO, TRON, and Hyperliquid are the most credible large-scale exceptions in the snapshot. LEO has an $8.71 billion market cap and is 5.53% below its peak. TRON has a $29.33 billion market cap and is 29.77% below its peak. Hyperliquid has a $10.5 billion market cap and is 31.10% below its peak.

These assets support a more robust comparison with Bitcoin in terms of scale, liquidity, and market relevance.
The remaining nine still hold significance, though each requires context. Canton Network has a $5.33 billion market cap. Sky has a market cap of $1.77 billion. MemeCore is at $2.39 billion. Siren is at $1.7 billion. Kite and Stable each fall below $600 million in market cap.

A clear hierarchy arises from this division.
Even after a significant correction, Bitcoin is performing better than nearly the entire market, with only a brief list of exceptions and an even shorter list of higher-quality exceptions.
The percentage-point difference compared to Bitcoin makes this hierarchy more apparent. LEO is ahead of BTC by 37 percentage points on the drawdown metric. Sky is ahead by 18 points. Kite by 18. Canton by 15. TRON by 13.5. Hyperliquid by 12. MemeCore by 6. Siren by 4. Stable by 3.5.
These differences create three distinct zones.
First, there is the clear outperformance group. LEO stands alone in this category, while Sky, Kite, Canton, TRON, and Hyperliquid maintain a substantial cushion over Bitcoin’s 43% baseline.
Second, there is the marginal advantage group. MemeCore, Siren, and Stable still remain ahead of BTC, but by a much narrower margin. A relatively minor shift could eliminate that advantage.
Third, there is the rest of the market, where drawdowns have already expanded beyond Bitcoin’s baseline.
This setup establishes a live threshold to monitor. The next focus is whether the current nine can continue to maintain their lead over BTC’s drawdown line, or if that exception list begins to shrink as Bitcoin stabilizes and weaker relative performers fall behind.
This dynamic serves as a ranking of the current situation. It also provides a means to observe how relative strength develops under pressure. Bitcoin’s role in this framework is particularly significant as BTC continues to act as the market’s baseline asset.
Bitcoin remains the market baseline
When Bitcoin declines, the rest of the market typically takes its cue from that. When Bitcoin retains more of its cycle gains than most of the field, it indicates where capital has remained more resilient and where structural demand has remained stronger.
A 43% drawdown still carries significance. In relation to the broader market, it also illustrates a much more robust position than the headline figure alone implies.
Nonetheless, it remains deep in retracement territory, placing Bitcoin in a unique position: weakened in absolute terms, resilient in relative terms, and still establishing the baseline that the rest of the market must surpass.
This leaderboard is unlikely to remain unchanged. The bottom of the exception list is already only a few percentage points ahead of Bitcoin. MemeCore is ahead by 6 points. Siren by 4. Stable by 3. A slight intraday change in relative performance could quickly reorder that section. Even further up the list, ongoing pressure could reduce the advantage held by Sky, Kite, Canton, TRON, or Hyperliquid.
Looking ahead, can any of these nine continue to stay closer to their all-time highs than Bitcoin, or will BTC’s 43% baseline become the threshold that more of them eventually fall behind?
