The flies and we have already entered year 2022. As usually, the beginning of a new year is time to reflect on the events that the past year had to offer. With countries across the world still battling COVID-19 outbreaks and issuing new restrictions it is a bit difficult to call 2021 a generally “good year”, but when looking just at cryptocurrency markets it was exactly that. Perhaps some would even call it a “great year”. 2021 will go down in crypto history as the year of massive institutional investments, the rise of NFTs and emerging of the GameFi sector. Driven by positive sentiment, the prices of Bitcoin, Ether, and many other coins reached their historic peaks in 2021. While the total cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at just $865 billion at the beginning of 2021, we have entered 2022 with the valuation of all crypto assets in circulation exceeding $2.24 trillion. It is worth mentioning that the total cryptocurrency market cap even exceeded the magical $3 trillion valuation in the beginning of November. We wish that 2022 would be at least as good as 2021 for the cryptocurrency sector and hope that you will continue to find useful information in our Top 3 Coins to watch articles throughout the year.
