The altcoin (a digital currency besides bitcoin) rallied more than 105% between the start of 2019 ($160.53) and its annual high reached April 3 ($329.85), CoinDesk price data showed.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, has experienced less impressive gains, climbing roughly 45% between its price on January 1 ($3,690.19) and its 2019 high ($5,343.25), additional CoinDesk price figures reveal.
