Wait, What's a cryptocurrency🤔🤔?

• A cryptocurrency or crypto is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange wherein individual coin ownership records are stored in a ledger existing in a form of a computerized database using strong cryptography to secure transaction records, to control the creation of additional coins, and to verify the transfer of coin ownership.

• A report from exchange Crypto.com estimated that there were 106 million crypto users around the world in January, following a 16% jump in participants last month alone.

• A separate survey from financial advisory group deVere found 70% of its clients aged over 55 had already invested in digital currencies or were planning to do so, in 2021, despite bitcoin and others being strongly associated with younger, millennial investors.

The Goal of the dataset is to bring the historical data of the top 100 cryptocurrencies( Ranked based on the market cap)

• What is Market capitalization?

Market capitalization is an indicator that measures and keeps track of the market value of a cryptocurrency. Market cap is used as an indicator of the dominance and popularity of cryptocurrencies. Though this metric is widely used, more information before making trading decisions is recommended.

About dataset

• The dataset is a Zip file that consists of the crypto prices of nearly 75 coins from their start date till 30/11/2021 (Also working on the other 25 cryptocurrency data as promised). A leaderboard file as of 30/11/2021 has also been included in the zip file named Current Crypto Leaderboard.csv, which has the market capitalization, rank, coin name, symbol, Price, and a tagging variable that mentions the availability of the corresponding coin in the dataset.

Historical data(day-interval) of all the coins mentioned in the leaderboard is provided in the dataset. The leaderboard is subject to change as the market cap increases/decreases. Any new coin which enters the top 100 will be added to the dataset. The leaderboard and the dataset will be updated on a monthly basis.

The price of the native coin from BNB Chain (formerly BSC) grew by 50 percent in late 2021 but was much lower in 2022. On November 16, 2025, for example, a single BNB coin was worth more than 931.97 U.S. dollars - a value that is very different from the all-time high of 931.97 U.S. dollars in November 2021. Regardless, Binance Coin ranked in the top 10 most expensive cryptocurrencies in 2022. Noticeable is that the price increase of BNB in November 2021 coincides with a similar price change for Ethereum (ETH), a cryptocurrency where BNB initially originated in 2017 before coming to its own years later.BNB's history: From a reward token in 2017 to an ecosystem after 2019As the name suggests, Binance Coin, or BNB, originally started as an extension of the Binance.com trading platform, the most used cryptocurrency exchange in the world. It initially functioned on the Ethereum blockchain network as an ERC-20 token, offering incentives to owners like reduced trading fees, affiliate rewards, or a lottery ticket system ('Launchpad') that let users invest in new, Binance-selected crypto projects. In 2019, however, BNB moved away from the Ethereum network and migrated to Binance's self-developed blockchain: Binance Smart Chain, or BSC (called BNB Chain since February 2022). Here, BNB started to support a chain that initially did not focus on hosting decentralized apps but focused on high transaction speed and being able to handle large amounts of traffic.DeFi and GameFi: the main segments for BNBBSC, however, made significant strides in 2021, partly due to traffic overload and high gas prices on Ethereum, as well as the growing interest in both Decentralized Finance (DeFI) and NFTs. Much like Cardano, Solana, and Terra, Binance Smart Chain consequently became a valid alternative to Ethereum. The total value locked (TVL) of BNBs blockchain within DeFi, for example, ranked only behind that of Terra and Ethereum in early 2022. Another area where Binance's blockchain and token play a significant role is that of GameFi, or 'play-to-earn' blockchain games that are powered by cryptocurrencies. Some of the more well-known and most popular NFT games, like Alien Worlds and Axie Infinity, run on the blockchain behind BNB.
