One Year Later: These 10 Cryptos Outperformed a Market Down 70%

John Barry | Wed Dec 10 2025

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the 2024 market peak, the crypto landscape looks dramatically different from the euphoric highs of last November and December. Across the top 500 cryptocurrencies, the median decline since the one-year peak is now roughly –70%, reflecting the severe and prolonged downturn that has defined most of 2025.

Standouts such as Zcash, WhiteBit Token, Monero, OKB, Ultima, and Beldex have shown exceptional resilience, with some posting dramatic year-over-year percentage gains despite a difficult macro environment.

The performance dispersion is striking—while the overall market has fallen sharply, these select assets have produced triple-digit returns, demonstrating that even in bearish or choppy markets, specific sectors and narratives can still outperform.

 

Why These 10 Tokens Matter

Each of the highlighted assets has benefited from market trends:

  • Privacy adoption trends (Zcash, Monero, Beldex, Dash)

  • Exchange-based utility demand (WhiteBit Token, OKB, BNB)

Their performance underscores an important reminder: while the crypto market moves in cycles, leadership constantly rotates, and pockets of strength can emerge even during broader weakness.
