2021 was a phenomenal year for crypto assets as a great number of digital currencies tapped all-time price highs last year. This year, over the last three months, the first quarter of 2022 shows an entirely different story as many crypto markets are either doing really well or have been struggling.

While bitcoin (BTC) is the leading crypto asset in terms of market capitalization, it has only gained 4.30% during the last 90 days.


Terra (LUNA) was the Q1 champ as it gathered 43.83% during the first three months of the year. The second-largest crypto asset in terms of market cap, ethereum (ETH), is down in value at the end of Q1, 2.75% lower against the USD. The biggest loser out of the top ten tokens was solana (SOL), as it lost 18.64% over the last three months.
