The past week has arguably been one of the biggest tests for digital currencies to date as the coronavirus-inspired sell-off continues to panic global markets.

After briefly falling below $4,000, Bitcoin (BTC) has shown signs of recovery on Thursday, surging more than 19% to $6,300. With BTC on the rise, the vast majority of altcoins have followed suit.

Here are some of the notable gainers that have managed to outpace Bitcoin on the day:

  • Status (SNT) +64.4%
  • Steem  (STEEM) +53.8%
  • Enjin (ENJ) +48.5%
  • BitcoinSV (BSV) +36.7%
  • V Systems (VSYS) +33.7%
  • Crypto.com (MCO) +33.7%
  • Komodo (KMD) +31.7%
  • Maker (MKR) +27.8%
  • Tezos (XTZ) +23.5%

Time will tell whether this relief rally is a dead cat bounce or an indication that digital currencies are able to decouple from the broader market meltdown.
