How we calculate it
- 1The 50 largest coinsBy market cap on the day, Bitcoin excluded. Stablecoins, tokenized gold, funds and wrapped or staked tokens do not count, because they track another asset.
- 2Return over 90 daysFor every coin the daily close in dollars against the close 90 days earlier. Coins without a price 90 days ago are left out.
- 3Comparison with BitcoinEvery coin that did better than Bitcoin over these 90 days counts.
- 4The indexThe share of these coins among the 50, from 0 to 100. From 75 altcoin season, up to 25 Bitcoin season, in between no season.
The price history only holds coins that still trade today. Some coins that disappeared are missing in the early years, so values before 2021 tend to be slightly too high. Data: CoinGecko, own calculation.
