How many crypto tokens are in the market?

There were over 50 different cryptocurrencies by the end of 2013. By the end of 2014, this figure had more than tenfold increased to over 500. There are currently over 20,000 cryptocurrencies in circulation. There are 22,904 cryptocurrencies in circulation as of March 2023.

Not all cryptocurrencies, however, are active or valuable. After removing many “dead” cryptos, there are only about 8,832 active cryptocurrencies. There are approximately 300 million cryptocurrency users worldwide. In addition, approximately 18,000 businesses now accept cryptocurrency as payment.

The thousands of cryptos available today can be divided into three categories:

  • Bitcoin – the market leader and original cryptocurrency
  • Altcoin – Alternatives to Bitcoin (not necessarily similar)
  • Tokens – Cryptocurrencies using pre-existing blockchains

In a relatively short period of time, cryptocurrency has evolved significantly, and the popularity of cryptocurrency has skyrocketed. While there has been some volatility, the overall market is only moving in one direction (up), with Bitcoin continuing to lead the charge.
