Market Recap & Outlook

September

Hot on the heels of August, September 2022 also trended negatively for cryptoassets overall. Based on market capitalization, all sectors saw negative returns for the month, ranging from -14% to -1%.

June

We’ve Been Here Before – June 2021 Market Recap & Outlook.

Following several months of headwinds for the crypto space, the crypto market trended lower in September.

ETH sold off sharply post-Merge in classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” price action.

July

After months of price declines across cryptoassets, July 2022 brought signs of recovery. All sectors saw positive monthly returns — gaining a minimum of 8% — led by DeFi (52%) and metaverse (35%). Prices of BTC (19%) and ETH (59%) increased after three months of negative returns.
