Crypto Metrics

It has been a roller coaster ride for the entire cryptocurrency space this year. There has also been a lot of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) among investors in the crypto space.

This article is a general overview of events and the general crypto metrics of July 2022. The upcoming Ethereum Merge and the collapse of 3AC were huge factors in the crypto metrics recorded this July. This article covers important crypto metrics for the month of July 2022.

Let’s go over the crypto metrics in detail.

Important Crypto Metrics for July

July was a month of mixed emotions in general for crypto enthusiasts. According to a Bloomberg article, Crypto Fear and Greed Index fell to 19, making it the most fearful in the last two months. This increase in the fear index also arguably stems from the shocking collapse of the Three Arrow Capital (3AC). Despite this, there’s also been a lot of anticipation following the upcoming Ethereum Merge.

A Tweet by Lars reveals some of the top crypto metrics of July 2022. The tweet covers important metrics like BTC mining revenue, NFT market volume, CEX volume for July 2022, etc.

  1. First, the Total adjusted on-chain volume now stands at $416 billion. This is after a drop of about 16.5%.
  2. Stablecoins also record a 7.6% drop. This means that the stablecoin ecosystem now has an adjusted on-chain volume of $655.2 billion. Stablecoin issue supply also decreased by 0.7% and currently stands at $137.1 billion. Top stablecoin Tether (USDT) remains fairly stable at 47.8% while USDC drops to 33.2% in terms of market share.
  3. Also, both Bitcoin and Ethereum miner revenue recorded a decrease of 10.6%. This means that BTC miner revenue currently stands at $597 million. Ethereum (ETH) miner revenue, on the other hand, increased by 12.7% and is currently at $596 million. The increase in ETH miner revenue can be arguably attributed to the much-anticipated Ethereum Merge. Also, according to the Tweet, 63,254 ETH tokens (approximately $83.7 million) were burned in July 2022.
