Total crypto marketcap similar to large-cap and small-cap stocks

While Bitcoin rose to new all-time highs this year, many altcoins seem to lag behind it, showing a somewhat similar dynamic to that observed between large-cap and small-cap stocks (where large and well-established companies managed to recover in the past year or so while their smaller counterparts have been struggling). In addition to that, it is often overlooked that despite a huge rally in Bitcoin, the total cryptocurrency market cap has not reached its previous all-time highs from late 2021 (even despite Coinmarketcap currently listing more than 2.4 million different cryptocurrencies on its website, which is far more than at the peak in 2021).

Illustration 1.01 shows the weekly charts of the three largest cryptocurrencies (excluding Bitcoin and stablecoins). Unlike Bitcoin, each token failed to reach new all-time highs (thus far). The same applies to other large cryptocurrencies, including XRP, DOGE, and Cardano.
