It is interesting to note that total earnings for 2023 are lower than those in 2021, despite cryptocurrency prices growing at similar rates. One reason for this difference may lie in the fact that investors were less inclined to convert cryptocurrencies into cash last year, hoping that prices would surpass the historical highs reached in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/affidaty.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-2-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20160 lazyload\" style=\"width:696px;height:auto\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/affidaty.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-2-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20160\" style=\"width:696px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affidaty.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-2-2.png 964w, https:\/\/affidaty.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-2-2-560x267.png 560w, https:\/\/affidaty.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-2-2-150x72.png 150w, https:\/\/affidaty.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-2-2-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/affidaty.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-2-2-750x358.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the year, cryptocurrency earnings remained relatively steady until August, which, along with September, was the only month to record losses.

This trend, as confirmed in Chainalysis&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/go.chainalysis.com\/geography-of-cryptocurrency-2023.html\">2023 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report,<\/a> can be justified by the historically strong cryptocurrency adoption in countries within these income categories, especially in middle- to low-income countries, which remained particularly resilient even during the recent bearish market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Might 2024 Hold?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus far, the positive trends of 2023 have extended into 2024, with major assets like Bitcoin reaching all-time highs following Bitcoin ETF approvals and increased institutional adoption. If these trends continue, we may witness earnings more in line with those seen in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appendix: Our Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By analyzing on-chain data, we estimate cryptocurrency earnings realized by investors. The first step involves identifying cryptocurrency movements on exchanges that allow conversion of crypto into fiat currency. Specifically, we measure the on-chain macro flows of a selected group of assets, representing approximately 80% of the total market capitalization, traded on major centralized exchanges offering conversion services. Subsequently, we estimate the total collective earnings realized through each asset by measuring the differences between the US dollar value of withdrawals and deposits for that asset. Indeed, any deposit made on a platform offering off-ramping represents a potential conversion into cash, resulting in the realization of any gains or losses on the asset. While this analysis is not perfect, it provides a reliable estimate of earnings on the most popular assets traded on centralized exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the earnings realized by users are estimated, we allocate these profits to individual states based on the share of web traffic to each service&#8217;s site originating from each country. This combination of transaction data and web traffic allows us to calculate the Chainalysis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chainalysis.com\/blog\/2023-global-crypto-adoption-index\/\">Global Crypto Adoption Index<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cryptocurrency recovery in 2023: rising prices and a better market perception.
