Cryptocurrencies have quickly bounced back after the crypto price crash in June, with their valuations rising significantly above January levels.
Although all eyes were set on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether over the last few months, as the world’s top three cryptos, other digital coins witnessed even ten to fifteen times bigger market cap growth, according to data from Block Arabia.
Here is the list of the cryptos with the most significant market cap growth since the beginning of 2021.
Market cap for Dogecoin, Uniswap & Binance Coin soared
Data from CoinMarketCap shows that Dogecoin was the fastest-growing digital coin in the crypto space this year.
In January, the market cap of the original meme coin stood at around $0.6 billion. A month later, after the Tesla CEO Elon Musk and rapper Snoop Dogg sent out a flurry of tweets about the coin, its popularity exploded, driving Dogecoin’s market cap to all-time highs.

Statistics show the combined value of all Dogecoins soared by a staggering 4,600% YTD reaching $28.2 billion last week, which is fifteen times the growth rate of Ethereum or 88 times more than the growth of Bitcoin during this period.
Due to its price surge, the original meme coin ranked as the eighth-largest crypto coin by market cap and the fourth most-traded cryptocurrency in July.
Compared to the leading cryptocurrencies, Uniswap has a significantly lower price. However, the world’s tenth-largest digital coin follows Dogecoin when it comes to market cap growth. Statistics show Uniswap’s market cap surged by 1,028% YTD, rising from $1.4 billion in January to $15.8 billion last week.
