Crypto Economy Moves Northbound Past the $2 Trillion Mark Digital currency values have increased a great deal during the last week which has, in turn, pushed the overall value of the entire crypto-economy northbound. This means more than $500 billion returned to the crypto economy after the market carnage in January. Statistics show on January 24, 2022, the value of all the cryptos in existence was around $1.5 trillion . Since that day, the crypto economy’s USD value swelled by more than 36% climbing to $2.08 trillion on February 7, 2022. While bitcoin (BTC) dominates by 39.4%, ethereum’s (ETH) market capitalization is 17.9% of the $2 trillion in value.
Coins that helped push the crypto economy’s value northbound past $2 trillion include gala (GALA), quant (QNT), leo token (LEO), mina (MINA), zcash (ZEC), shiba inu (SHIB), near (NEAR), ethereum classic ( ETC ), osmosis (OSMO), and decentraland (MANA), respectively. The aforementioned tokens gained anywhere between 30.3% and 95.3% in value against the U.S. dollar in the last seven days. The $10.6 billion worth of privacy coins jumped 3.8% over the last day, the net value of smart contract platforms ($691B) jumped 3.3% in 24 hours.

NFT Sales Drop Over 7% This Week, Bitcoin Is Now the 9th Most Valuable Asset Worldwide While the crypto economy has jumped over $2 trillion — as numerous tokens have seen significant gains and the TVL in defi rises — NFT sales have dropped this past week. Overall sales among 1,449,578 transactions and 309,418 traders amounted to $967.5 million over the week. The weekly NFT sales metric is down 7.83% compared to last week’s NFT sales, and sales on Ethereum are down 9.15%. However, the third and second-largest blockchains by NFT sales are up this week, as Solana NFT sales climbed 5.69% and Avalanche NFT sales jumped by 36.34%.
With the crypto economy above the $2 trillion mark, the value is worth more than most market valuations today. The USD value of all 12,440 coins would be ranked just above the fourth most valuable global asset , Saudi Aramco’s (Tadawul: 2222 ) $1.973 trillion market capitalization. However, the crypto economy’s market cap is below the market caps of gold ($11.544T), Apple ($2.813T), and Microsoft ($2.293T). Bitcoin’s (BTC) market cap today is the ninth most valuable asset in terms of overall valuation with its $821.01 billion market cap.
