The heroes and villains of 2022 By Cointelegraph



From an outdoor perspective, 2022 has been a rollercoaster trip for crypto. The market reached a complete valuation of $3 trillion in the course of the bull market of 2021, solely to cut back to its present degree of round $810 billion. Whereas this poor efficiency might be partly attributed to the pervading macroeconomic atmosphere — compounded by rising inflation charges and the continuing Ukraine-Russia battle, amongst different elements — one can’t deny the function that the latest slew of insolvencies has had on the sector.

That mentioned, under is a listing of arguably essentially the most notable heroes and villains who’ve undeniably impacted this quickly evolving trade over the previous 12 months.
