All four did leave $BTC behind on the 7-day tape.

Approx numbers as of Sep 23:

• BTC ~$85.8k → +13%
• XRP ~$1.59 → +24%
• DOGE ~$0.10 → +25%
• BCH ~$360 → +66%
• NEAR ~$4.53 → +88%

NEAR has the cleanest catalyst stack: nearcore upgrades (post-quantum signing plus dynamic resharding), privacy perps via Hyperliquid, and fee revenue from NEAR Intents.

BCH’s move is the sharpest (+30%+ in 24h).

CME is lining up BCH futures, that’s a liquidity event.

XRP and DOGE are riding the same risk-on wave after #BTC reclaimed $80k–$86k with dominance under 60%.

XRP has the institutional/legal narrative.

DOGE has retail leverage and rising open interest.

Bitcoin still holds ~59% of total market cap.

A one-week alt outperformance is rotation.

Holding those gains after leverage unwinds is the harder test.
