May’s mixed bag turned into a June’s red one – at least for the top 10 coins by market capitalization. Only one has seen a rise in its price in the month of June. Nonetheless, for the coins outside of the top 10 list, the picture is not as drastic. Though many saw a drop in their prices, many others appreciated. The situation is also a lot greener when observing the coins in the past 3-6 months.
Therefore, this time we’re not looking only at the previous month, but the previous quarter, as well as the first half of the year.
If there was one thing that marked the relatively calm first quarter of the year, it was the major market crash in March. Coins across the board suffered major losses, and bitcoin (BTC) plunged a whopping 50%.
Afterwards, the market was quite slow for most of April, but it turned green with a jump near the month’s end. Bitcoin, as well as several other major cryptoassets, including ethereum (ETH) and bitcoin cash (BCH), had a strong performance.
May was well known for BTC’s price to stay over the USD 9,000 mark. However, this is primarily known as the month of its third halving. Meanwhile, ETH continued its strong performance from April.
Which brings us to June, when bitcoin surpassed USD 10,000, dropping below it soon afterwards. BTC also got a red dot on the S2F model signaling a theoretical bull run. Meanwhile, we saw the eight largest bitcoin mining difficulty drop, followed by the highest jump in two years. Bitcoin and Ethereum networks both hit a number of all-time highs this month, and they both recovered most of their losses after Black Thursday in March.
June
Top 10 Coins
Out of the top 10 coins by market capitalization, the price of only one (not counting the stablecoin tether (USDT)) has appreciated over the course of the past month. That one is also the sole winner on the list: while others dropped, cardano (ADA) had a double-digit rise of more than 16%.
As reported, at the end of May, Cardano founder and CEO of Cardano development firm IOHK, Charles Hoskinson, revealed a number of dates related to the platform’s Shelley upgrade, extending throughout June, which already then had a positive effect on the coin’s price.
On the other hand, the remaining eight coins dropped anywhere between roughly 2% and 20%. Bitcoin SV (BSV) dropped the most – over 20%, while XRP is in the second place with 13%. The two are followed by binance coin (BNB) and EOS, both of which had a decrease in their respective prices of more than 11%.
The first two coins by market capitalization, bitcoin and ether, have dropped the least this time around, between 2% and 4%.
Between the red coins we also find bitcoin cash (BCH) and litecoin (LTC).
Top 10 winners

As reported, just days after it first entered into circulation, decentralized lending and savings platform Compound’s token COMP positioned itself as the most valuable token in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
