Avalanche Defies Market Crash To Replace Dogecoin As Top 10 Cryptocurrency

Share to Linkedin Avalanche cryptocurrency AVAX is now one of the ten largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, overtaking popular meme tokens dogecoin and Shiba Inu in defiance of a market-wide crash that wiped hundreds of billions in value and saw prices of major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether plummet from near-record highs. The rally took AVAX's market cap to just under $30 billion, marginally overtaking dogecoin as the tenth most valuable cryptocurrency. AVAX's soaring value comes amid a market-wide crash that has seen most major tokens—including all top-ten cryptocurrencies not pegged to other assets: bitcoin, ether, Binance coin, solana, cardano, XRP and polkadot—drop by double-digit percentages over the past seven days. The price of AVAX has more than doubled in the past 30 days and grown more than 3, 000% over the year. Dogecoin v AVAX. Cryptocurrencies are a notoriously volatile asset class and even assets at the very top of the market are not immune to wild and rapid fluctuations. Both AVAX and dogecoin have market capitalizations of around $30 billion—with around $200 million separating the two at the time of writing—and are jostling for the number 10 cryptocurrency slot. AVAX already (briefly) overtook dogecoin once before on Sunday
