Many top coin projects a decade ago have fallen off, while Bitcoin remains resilient and has made the most gains in ten years.
While some digital assets have stood the test of time, others have tumbled below the thousands of new digital currencies that exist today.
On Dec. 28, the total market capitalization for the crypto space stood at around $1.77 trillion, with Bitcoin (BTC) still leading the charge at $842 million. It’s followed by market leaders like Ether (ETH), BNB (BNB), and Solana (SOL), as well as stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC).
Projects like XRP (XRP), Cardano (ADA) and Avalanche (AVAX) are also in the top ten digital assets by market cap and have proved their resilience over the years. In addition, Lido Staked Ether (stETH), which represents staked ETH in the liquid staking protocol Lido and combines the value of the initial deposit and staking rewards, is also in the top ten.
