While every coin on the top Crypto list had reached its new ATH, other low market cap tokens Cryptos have become some of the most famous cryptocurrencies among Indian traders. Because of their distinction as innovation assets with little correlation and compounding network value, cryptos have moved beyond their speculation-driven phase and are now considered a feasible investment option.

Coming up to 2022, the Crypto market had a rough year. The bear market has been prolonged, and we are now in Crypto winter. However, as a Crypto group, we are optimistic that the situation will improve in 2023.
