In the first six months of the year — the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization — Bitcoin (CRYPTO) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) have risen 16.47% and 200.18%, respectively.

Other notable gainers on a half-yearly basis are PancakeSwap (CRYPTO: CAKE), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), and Fantom (CRYPTO: FTM), which gained 1,889.35%, 1,734.70%, and 1,212.26%, respectively.

Why It Matters: The gains in these coins come as global cryptocurrency market capitalization has risen by $644 billion dollars or 82.98% in the six months leading up to July; to $1.42 trillion from $776.02 billion.

Competitors and complementary coins to Ethereum have been on the upswing this year buoyed by a trend that favors projects related to Decentralized Finance or DeFi, smart contracts, and decentralized applications or DApps.
