While Bitcoin Gets Headlines, These Altcoins Quietly Gained Over 150% in 90 Days

• A few altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the last 90 days.
• FORM, FARTCOIN, and SPX have gained over 150% in the past 90 days.
• BTC’s bullish appeal returned after the cryptocurrency recovered its Q1 losses.

Bitcoin’s recent performance has captured the attention of many crypto users, even though most cryptocurrencies have not replicated those moves. Nevertheless, a select few altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the last 90 days and most of them have done so without attracting the kind of broad market attention that followed Bitcoin’s rally.

FORM, FARTCOIN, SPX Post 150%+ Gains, Dwarfing Bitcoin’s Return

Onchain data showing the top crypto performances reveal that altcoins like FORM, FARTCOIN, and SPX have gained over 150% in the past 90 days against Bitcoin’s 17.99% profit.

Even Ethereum, which many analysts consider to have performed below expectations in the past year, has shown more bullish tendencies than Bitcoin during the period under review.

Why These Altcoin Surges Have Flown Under the Radar

Bitcoin boosted its bullish sentiment after climbing above the $100,000 milestone. Despite dropping below that level in Q1 2025, BTC’s bullish appeal returned after the cryptocurrency recovered its Q1 losses, returned above the $100,000 price, and established a new all-time high.

The highlighted achievements created a social awareness that boosted Bitcoin’s bullish sentiment, and rightly so. However, over 20 other cryptocurrencies, including those mentioned above, performed better than Bitcoin in the past three months. Their achievements may not have raised a similar curiosity to that of Bitcoin because most did not make remarkable achievements, like reaching a new all-time high, nor did they climb above notable psychological levels, like Bitcoin’s $100,000 milestone.

Is the Classic “Altcoin Season” Narrative Changing?

In the meantime, many crypto users are waiting for a full-fledged altcoin season to begin. They expect moves similar to what was obtainable in the previous cycles, when most altcoins would surge significantly and register new all-time highs. The current crypto market behavior does not guarantee a repeat of such patterns, considering how a few altcoins are making massive gains ahead of the rest.

The current trend has led traders to consider reviewing the altcoins as individual entities instead of seeing them as a group. That could be an ideal way of making the most out of the current crypto market dimension rather than waiting for an overall altseason that has dragged on for so long.
