 <p class="paragraph">Despite the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency market majorly waiting for a red September, its results positively surprised most <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> traders, as both Bitcoin (BTC) and the Total Crypto Market Cap (CRYPTOCAP: TOTAL) closed the past month with shy gains.</p> 
 <div></div> 
 <p class="paragraph">These results contributed to some projects accumulating even higher gains in a larger timeframe, with three <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currencies from the top 100 by market capitalization more than doubling up in price year-to-date (YTD):</p> 
 <ul> 
  <li>Maker Protocol (MKR): +185% YTD, after accruing for 25% gains in September;</li> 
  <li>Bitcoin Cash (BCH): +143% YTD, after surging by 13% last month;</li> 
  <li>Solana (SOL): +104% YTD, but only gaining a shy 3% in September.</li> 
 </ul> 
 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, all three top performers had lost more than 10% of each of their values in August. Additionally, MKR was the most steady performer since the beginning of 2023, with its best month making for 50% gains, and its worst two months for 15% losses.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">On the other hand, BCH had a meaningful 122% increase in price in June only, while SOL registered an amazing 140% in the first month of the year, according to data retrieved by Finbold from <em>Coin Metrics</em> on October 3.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Meanwhile, BCH is plummeting by 7.8% intraday, trading at $235 by press time. This represents a strong hit for Bitcoin Cash investors who were betting in a continuation uptrend after surpassing Litecoin’s (LTC) in market capitalization — a position that has already been reverted with this current retrace.</p>
