Analysts: The number of crypto projects with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million has decreased from 477 in November 2021 to 388.
PANews reported on November 13th that crypto analyst Route 2 FI posted that in November 2021, there were 477 projects with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million, while now that number has dropped to 388 (including stablecoins). His analysis is as follows: 1. November 2021 was almost the peak of altcoins in the previous cycle, and altcoins haven't truly experienced a crazy surge in this cycle; 2. At that time, tokens with low circulating supply and high fully diluted valuations (FDV) were uncommon. If ranked by the number of projects with a fully diluted valuation exceeding $100 million, this number should be higher now than in 2021; 3. Liquidity and funds are increasingly concentrated in fewer, larger projects, meaning that even with an increase in total market capitalization, smaller altcoins will find it difficult to achieve high valuations; 4. After several rounds of hype, retail and institutional investors are more cautious, favoring tokens and ecosystems with practical value and proven track records, rather than speculative tokens. In addition, the analyst mentioned that there were 1,153 projects with a market value of over $10 million in 2021, while the number has now reached 1,227, and he originally thought the number would be higher.

Market news: Japanese stock exchanges are studying how to curb listed companies from hoarding cryptocurrencies.
PANews reported on November 13th that, according to Jinshi, as concerns grow about losses caused by the cryptocurrency hoarding frenzy, Japanese exchange groups are considering measures to limit the growth of listed digital asset fund management companies. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that options under consideration include tightening regulations on backdoor listings and requiring companies to undergo new audits. They requested anonymity because the plans have not yet been made public. They added that no formal action plan has been finalized. One source said that since September, three listed Japanese companies have suspended their plans to purchase cryptocurrencies due to obstruction from Japanese exchanges; these companies were told that their financing capabilities would be limited if they adopted cryptocurrency purchases as a business strategy.
