Data shows the small cap altcoins have continued to outperform Bitcoin and the rest of the market recently as GRT has managed 117% gains in the past week.

Small Cap Altcoins Index Is Sitting At 48% Profits For The Past Month

As per the latest weekly report from Arcane Research, while other sections of the market have stagnated, the small caps have still seen an upside recently. The “altcoin indexes” here refer to groups of altcoins divided based on their market caps.

There are three main indexes in the market: the “small caps,” the “mid caps,” and the “large caps.” These groups are based on the Bletchley Indexes and together represent the top 70 cryptocurrencies in the market (with the top 10 making the large caps, while the next 20 are the mid caps, and the final 40 are the small caps).

The benefit of dividing up the altcoin market like this is that the performance of each of the different-sized segments of the sector can be easily evaluated this way.

Now, here is a chart that shows how these indexes have performed against each other, as well as versus Bitcoin, during the past 30 days:

As you can see in the above graph, Bitcoin and all the altcoin indexes except for the small caps started consolidating around January 22 and have since been stuck in the same sideways movement.

Regardless of the stale price action, the market has still seen some great returns in this period as both BTC and large caps are at 34% profits, while mid caps with 29% gains aren’t too far off either.

While these segments of the sector were moving sideways, the small caps still continued to see a rise. As a result, these altcoins collectively stand 48% in the green for the past month, significantly outperforming the rest of the market.

The report notes that the reason behind this outperformance is that some of the coins in this category have registered some extreme returns recently, with The Graph (GRT) being a prominent example.

GRT Has Registered Impressive Returns

The below chart shows how The Graph has performed during the past week.

From the chart, it’s visible that GRT has observed some sharp growth in the last week, registering massive profits of around 117%. In the past day, however, the coin has noticed a correction, but the price is nonetheless still 4% up in the last 24 hours.

In terms of the monthly returns (the period being used to measure the altcoin indexes’ returns), the AI token is sitting on gains of about 169%. The year-to-date (YTD) performance of The Graph is even more impressive, with the asset accumulating almost 240% in profits since the start of 2023.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
