The month of March is ending with a bang for the cryptocurrency sector, but not in a good way as the digital currencies in general had many more losers than it had winners.
Ever since the sector of over 1400 different cryptos reached a market cap of nearly $750 billion back in December of 2017, the overall market has lost close to 70% of its value, with future prospects also not looking great for the alternative asset.
And here on March 31 we can now take a look at the winners and losers in the cryptocurrency sector for the month.
Winners:
Binance Coin has also made marginal moves upwards while all those around it have crashed. BNB started March trading at around $10.50 and ended closer to $10.70 representing a tiny increase. Against BTC is has done even better moving from 101500 satoshis to 151000 at month end, a rise of 48%. Positive company news about a Maltese move as it shrugs off the attempted hack has boosted Binance Coin.
