Comparison: Top 100 one year ago (Jan 2021) and top 100 now - the top movers, shakers and ranking analysis

Today is quite a special day. Last year the price of Bitcoin was around $40,000 - $41,000 and so is today. Yet, last year people were in "extreme greed" (FG = 93) and today people are in "extreme fear" (FG = 23). Let's take a look at how the market has changed in just one year.

1- Changes in rankings and prices

Quite interesting, that the vast majority of coins were down in rank, but it doesn't mean the price action had been disappointing. 71 coins still records increase in price and only 23 were down.

Top 100 movements in price and rankings

Mildly interesting, there were 4 coins that retain the same rank (no move). Guess what, all of them are in top 10:

Top 10

But even in top 10 itself, a lot of chaos had been observed. While all of top 10 prices were up, it's LUNA and SOL that witness a largest increase.

2 - Top movers

In addition to these two, we could see a handful of coins that rally at least 3x. Notable examples are DOGE, AVAX, BNB, QNT, NEAR, CRO, ATOM, LRC and ADA. Yes, it was $0.30 a year ago.

Top movers

Furthermore, some coins weren't part of top 100 back then, but now make it to the top. The first thing that comes to mind is the memecoin SHIB, and then a scalability solution (MATIC Polygon). Details are below.

3 - The new comers

We could see the trend quite clearly, so FTM and ONE is L1 (though some says ONE could be acting as L2) , MATIC could be considered L2. The Metaverse related would be MANA, AXS, SAND.

The new coins to top 50

With the exception of ICP, which had rendered many people bag holders, the rest have had a big rally.

4 - The shakers

That said, not all is well in the crypto verse. In a time span of just one year, some coins have lost their values. You could see many of them were ranked quite high one year ago, such as LTC (5th), BCH (6th), XLM (10th), BSV (13th), EOS (16th), XEM (18th), NEO (21th).

Top shakers

Overall, the global market cap for crypto still rose from $1.07T to $1.95T, which is around 80% increase. Most coins have increased in value, but some were disappointing. The global market cap hit $2T not long after, then $3T in November 2021. That is just to say, so many things can happen in the crypto verse, even in just one year!
