The latest CoinMetrics report revealed the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) showed the best performance for the second quarter of 2021 with an increase of 392%.
At the same time, the number of wallets owning at least 1 DOGE has increased from 3.09 million (April 1) to 3.7 million (June 30).
Even so, DOGE faced a 66% decline from an all -time record high (ATH), $ 0.74 on May 8th.
While for Ethereum Classic (ETC) is in second position after DOGE with a jump of 297% and Polygon (MATIC) of 227%.
The positive movement came as Bitcoin (BTC) depreciated by almost 39%.
Meanwhile, one of the best crypto developments for the same period can be seen in the price of Ethereum (ETH) which rose from $ 1,971 on April 1 to its latest record high, $ 4,362 on May 11th.
However, following the sale of assets across the crypto market resulted in the quarterly closing of the assets at $ 2,240, making a cumulative increase of 13.2%.
The rise in Ether prices was driven by a surge in retail interest in the NFT sector. This also proves the number of wallet addresses owning at least 0.1 ETH has increased from 4.58 million to over 5.20 million.
The gains recorded by altcoins, caused BTC’s dominance status to drop 45% on June 30, the lowest record since July 2018. It is worth noting that among the factors contributing to this fall is that China does not want to compromise anymore with the crypto sector.

DOGE: $ 0.19 (+2.95%)
