The cryptocurrency market has seen significant growth over the past year, reaching an all-time high of $9.6 billion in 2022.

This milestone marks a crucial turning point for the industry, but it also highlights some concerning trends.

A closer look at the numbers reveals that the majority of this growth can be attributed to a small number of large-cap cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

In contrast, smaller altcoins have seen relatively stagnant growth or even declines in value.
