While Bitcoin tested fresh lows below $90,000 earlier this week and dampened risk appetite across the crypto sector, a handful of altcoins bucked the trend on November 19. Starknet, SPX6900, and Kaspa all posted notable gains, demonstrating resilience in a volatile market.

Starknet Leads the Rebound

Starknet (STRK), a validity rollup, also known as a zero-knowledge rollup, on Ethereum, outperformed the wider market with a significant rebound. The token’s price increased by approximately 26% over 24 hours to trade at around $0.226. Its seven-day performance also remained firmly positive, highlighting relative strength among select Layer 2 solutions.

The STRK token is designed to be a core component of the network, used for paying transaction fees, staking to enhance security, and participating in governance votes.

Meme Coin SPX6900 Catches Momentum

SPX6900 (SPX), a meme coin with branding aimed at internet and finance culture, added roughly 14% in 24 hours. The token is issued on Ethereum and trades primarily on decentralized exchanges, positioning itself as an entertainment and community-driven project.

The project’s official website explicitly states that SPX has no association with any real-world equities or stock indices, functioning instead as a parody with a focus on its community and narrative.

Kaspa Holds Firm Among Proof-of-Work Coins

Kaspa (KAS) eked out a 2-3% gain, making it one of the few large-cap Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies to grind higher during the market softness. Kaspa’s technology aims to achieve high throughput and rapid confirmations by processing blocks in parallel using a blockDAG structure rather than a single chain.

Launched in November 2021 without a pre-mine or initial coin offering, Kaspa is used as a decentralized digital currency on its native Layer 1 blockchain.
