 Following an unprecedented market boom in 2021, when more cryptos were created than ever before, the number of cryptocurrencies continues to grow in 2022.


Notably, when using a web archive tool in January 2022, over 1,000 new cryptocurrencies emerged in the crypto market; Finbold was able to determine that the number of crypto assets was 16,238 on January 1, 2022, based on the data obtained.


On January 31, there were 17,240 cryptocurrencies in circulation, implying that 1,002 new cryptocurrencies were launched in just one month. As of February 2, there are already 17,275 cryptos available on the market, but this figure is expected to rise.


According to CoinMarketCap statistics, the new cryptocurrencies represent a 6.17 percent increase from the beginning to the end of the month; this equates to 33 assets being added every day for the next 31 days.


It's worth noting that the number of cryptocurrencies increased in tandem with the cryptocurrency market's growth in 2021.


On January 1, 2021, there were 8,153 crypto assets; as of December 31, there were 16,223 digital assets, indicating that 8,070 additional cryptos were added in 2021 alone, representing a 98.98 percent increase over the previous year and nearly doubling the original amount.


In the previous year, an average of 21 new cryptocurrencies were introduced to the market on a daily basis, implying that if the current average of 33 new cryptocurrencies is maintained, the number of new cryptocurrencies introduced in 2022 may exceed that of the previous year.


The global crypto market cap

Currently, the total market capitalization of the crypto market is $1.77 trillion, representing a 0.72% gain over the previous day.

Despite the addition of over 1,000 new digital assets to the sector in less than a month, the market cap is significantly lower than the $2.26 trillion reached on December 31, and it is even lower than the $2.6 trillion market cap reached on October 25, when the total number of cryptocurrencies surpassed 13,000 for the first time.

Given that the vast majority of funds are concentrated in just the top 100 cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization, an increase in the number of crypto coins and tokens created does not always imply an increase in market capitalization.

DogeCoin (DOGE) Overtakes Terra (Luna) As The World's 10th Largest Cryptocurrency

By
In terms of market capitalization, Dogecoin (DOGE) has surpassed Terra (LUNA) to become the tenth largest cryptocurrency. The switch follows the accompanying drama in the Terra ecosystem, which has seen the price of the LUNA tank plummet in recent days. LUNA has dropped 28.16 percent in the previous week and is now trading at more than 50% below its all-time high set in December. The battle for supremacy between DOGE and LUNA continues to heat up. According to CryptoRank, Dogecoin has surpassed Terra (LUNA) in market capitalization once again. DOGE has a market cap of roughly $18.22 billion, while LUNA has a market worth of around $18.20 billion. Market participants, on the other hand, are pointing out that the switch was caused by a panic selloff in the LUNA market, not by a boom in DOGE. In the last seven days, the price of DOGE has increased by 1.04 percent. In the same time period, however, LUNA has dropped 28.16 percent. According to Krypto Tribe tracker Santiment, the depletion h...

The stolen $750 million in Bitcoin (BTC) from the Bitfinex hack in 2016 is on the move.

By
A large amount of Bitcoin is on the move, which was previously linked to the 2016 Bitfinex exchange hack. Recently, the popular Twitter handle Whale Alert reported two such incidents in which Bitcoins worth more than $750 million were transferred to an unknown wallet. According to a recent report, more than 20,000 Bitcoins were moved in two separate transactions of 10,000 BTC each. This is the second time in the last year that hackers have moved funds stolen from the Bitfinex hack in 2016. At the time, 119,756 BTC were stolen from the exchange, causing the market to crash. Last year when Bitcoin was trading at its all-time high in mid-April 2021, the hackers had moved the first batch of Bitcoins worth $750 million. Will This Affect the Price of Bitcoin? It will be interesting to see if this move adds to the volatility of the Bitcoin price. Nearly 20% of the total Bitcoin stolen has been moved by hackers. While most exchanges have made it impossible to cash out stolen exchanges, hackers...
