I analyzed the changes in the total market value and ranking thresholds of cryptocurrencies from 2017 to the present. Key points:
1. The recent bull market peak (Nov 2021) was three times the previous one (Jan 2018). The recent bear market's low surpassed the previous bull market high.
2. Notable market value increases from the previous bull market to the recent one include Bitcoin from $320 billion to $1.27 trillion, Ethereum from $110 billion to $560 billion, and significant growth across various rankings.
3. Comparing the bear market bottom to the recent bull market peak, smaller-cap coins experienced substantial growth. In the year from Dec 2020 to Nov 2021, Ethereum's market value increased eightfold.
4. Looking ahead, considerations include the potential total market value, thresholds for leading cryptocurrencies, and the likelihood of assets in current popular sectors moving up in rankings.
The future dynamics will reveal which projects maintain their positions and which ones face elimination.
