Only nine non-stable tokens sit closer to ATH than Bitcoin as the market’s damage stays concentrated elsewhere

Bitcoin is still 43.26% below its all-time high. On the surface, that figure reads as a reminder of unfinished recovery. In relative terms, it places Bitcoin in a stronger position than most of the market.

A live CryptoSlate market snapshot shows BTC at $71,606 against an ATH of $126,198.

After excluding stablecoins and gold-backed tokens, only nine assets in the table sit closer to their peak than Bitcoin: UNUS SED LEO, Sky, Kite, Canton Network, TRON, Hyperliquid, MemeCore, Siren, and Stable. That is a narrow exception list in a market still defined by deep peak-to-current damage.
