With more than 19,000 cryptocurrencies in existence and counting, there are more than triple the number of crypto coins than there are US exchange-listed stocks. That massive amount of supply makes it nearly impossible to keep track of all the big movers in the crypto sector outside of well-known coins like bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin. The surge in new crypto coins came amid a massive bull market for the sector in 2021, but a more than 50% decline in bitcoin from its November high is challenging the space, especially in smaller coins that saw extraordinary gains last year like Solana, Cardano, and Polkadot. This article explores the worst performing cryptos in the past month looking at their price change or growth.
