At bestcryptobookies.com we had a closer look at the global crypto market, which has grown exponentially in recent years, reaching new heights in terms of market capitalization, number of coins, and user adoption and what impact that actually had on the acceptance of cryptocurrencies by online bookmakers.

In April 2021 the crypto market cap hit the $3 trillion mark in 2021 (which marked the All-Time-High), up from $12 billion in 2014. However, the total crypto market cap dropped to $835 billion in December 2022, down 62% from its peak in April 2021. Then in 2023 the crypto market started to recover again and rose to $1.5 trillion in June 2023, up 80% from its low in December 2022.

The number of coins meanwhile increased from about 100 in 2014 to a record number over 12000 in 2021 and stands as per today (June 2023) at around 9000.

Together with the exponential growth of the global crypto market we also saw a rapid rise of cryptocurrency usage in the online casino and sports betting world, and meanwhile there should not be any doubt anymore that crypto gambling and crypto sports betting is here to stay.
