After a big run at the start of the week, Dogecoin comes in at the fifth position. Although the Litecoin fork was created as a joke, its gains have been impressive, coming in at 109% in the last seven days.
Reserve Rights Token (RSR) and Solana (SOL) are tied for sixth and seventh, both with 108% gains in the last seven days.
