Crypto Market Cap moves Nov 2023 to Nov 2024

2024 was a formative year: The rising tide did not raise all boats...

The strong Q4 2024 bull market/positive sentiment had a selective effect as the collective crypto investor community decisively abandoned some assets.

In the period between Nov 2023-Nov 2024, crypto assets typically had to double their market cap to keep a given ranking or to stay within 1-3 positions of previous rank. This made Rising market caps all the more noteworthy.

There were some notable declines (see below).
