XRP outshined by Algorand, Dogecoin as price recovery gathers steam
Be it the market’s leading altcoins or the ‘not-so-famous’ ones, the market crash last month hit all of them equally. While some altcoins struggled to recover from the shock, other altcoins have been recording good signs of recovery. Take XRP, Algorand, and Dogecoin, for instance. While XRP started showing signs of recovery only after 23 March, Algorand and Dogecoin recorded an upward trend in just 3-4 days post the aforementioned fall.

Algorand
Algorand, one of the top 50 coins, has been quite stable following the 62% drop on 12 March. In fact, Algorand was perhaps one of the fastest recovering altcoins in the market.
